Seat cushion body and method of producing a seat cushion body

A seat cushion body (1) and method of producing the same are provided. In a method of producing a seat cushion body (1), fiber material is inserted into a mold (21,22). Heat is supplied to the fibers to cause thermal activation of binding fibers, so as to effect thermal cross-linking. The resulting seat cushion body (1) includes a resilient portion (5) formed from the fibers and having a fiber orientation along a main load direction (2) of the seat cushion body (1). The seat cushion body may include at least one further portion (6,7) formed from the fibers, which has a fiber orientation and/or a density different from the fiber orientation and/or different from a density of the resilient portion (5). The resilient portion (5) and the at least one further portion (6,7) may be integrally formed from the cross-linked fiber material as a unitary body.
