An automotive functional cushion includes a seat cushion frame. The frame is composed of two components: a forward and backward frame section, and a main frame section. The main frame section is shaped like a U. This shape allows for varying the length of the frame, depending on how the cushion is positioned.

The main frame section is variable, and may be welded to a forward frame section. This allows for the production of varying seat cushion frames with different fore-and-aft lengths. Additionally, the frame may have defined securing points for springs and cover members. The structure of the seat cushion frame depends on the specific function it has in an automotive vehicle.

The cushion frame of an automotive functional cushion includes a frame made of multiple pieces and has a spring-filled cushion member that is overlaid on it. The cushion member provides heat and cooling for the occupant and can change shape while absorbing energy. It can also fold accordion-like.
