providing a seat back frame as a frame of the seat back, the seat back frame including left and right side frames disposed separate from each other and a lower frame connecting lower portions of left and right side frames;
connecting a pressure-receiving member to the seat back frame via a connecting member in a manner that allows the pressure-receiving member to move rearward;
providing a seat back pad including a central portion configured to face a back of an upper body of an occupant and side portions configured to face sides of the upper body of the occupant, the side portions being provided continuously to the central portion, the seat back pad having a groove formed at a border between the central portion and each of the side portions, the groove having a bottom in which a slot hole extending through the seat back pad is formed, the seat back pad further including a tuck-in member provided in a position adjacent to the bottom of the groove and not exposed in the slot hole;
covering at least a front surface of the pressure-receiving member and the seat back frame with the seat back pad such that the slot hole is so disposed as not to overlap the lower frame as viewed from a front side; and
covering the seat back pad with a skin material tucked in the groove and fixed to the tuck-in member.
