Abstract

[Problem] To provide a cushion pad that reduces the bottom-hitting feeling. [Solution] In a support portion, the ratio of the hardness of a bottom surface layer including the bottom surface to the hardness of a seating layer including the seating surface is set to 1.0 to 1.1. The hardness of the seating layer is set to be identical to the hardness of the bottom surface layer or slightly smaller than the hardness of the bottom surface layer. This allows reducing the increase in reactive force by the bottom surface layer while supporting the load of the seated person by the bottom surface layer. This allows reducing the bottom-hitting feeling.

Claims (15)

1. A cushion pad, comprising:

a support portion including

a seating layer including a seating surface configured such that a seated person may be seated on the seating surface; and

a bottom surface layer including a bottom surface on an opposite side to the seating surface,

wherein a ratio of a hardness of the bottom surface layer to a hardness of the seating layer is 1.0 to 1.1, and

wherein the hardness is a 25% hardness measured in compliance with D method specified in the 2012 edition of JIS K6400-2.

2. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein the support portion further comprises a first core layer positioned between a thickness center and the seating layer, the thickness center being a center in the thickness direction sandwiched between the seating surface and the bottom surface, and

wherein a ratio of a hardness of the first core layer to the hardness of the seating layer is 1.0 to 1.1.

3. The cushion pad according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio of the hardness of the bottom surface layer to the hardness of the first core layer is 1.0 to 1.1.

4. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein the support portion further comprises a second core layer positioned between a thickness center and the bottom surface layer, the thickness center being a center in the thickness direction sandwiched between the seating surface and the bottom surface, and

wherein a ratio of a hardness of the second core layer to the hardness of the seating layer is 1.0 to 1.1.

5. The cushion pad according to claim 1 , wherein the support portion is an integrally molded single foamed synthetic resin material.

6. The cushion pad according to claim 1 , wherein the 25% hardness of the seating layer is 120 N to 220 N.
