The invention is a device for heating a seat (3) comprising a heating
element (2) connected to a control unit (1) which is arranged to
feed a current (I) through the heating element (2), a detector unit (6)
in connection to the heating element (2) connected to the control unit (1)
with current (I) being fed when the measured temperature value falls below a predetermined
desired value (TB). The invention is characterized in that the detector
unit (6) comprises at least one first temperature sensor (7) on or
in the vicinity of the heating element (2) with at least one further temperature
sensor (8) at a predetermined distance from the heating element (2).
By means of the invention a more even heating of the seat is obtained with an increased
