In order to provide a lumbar support which conforms to the curve of the
spinal column so as not to give a feeling of incompatibility or other
unpleasant feeling, and is easily adjusted to meet a user's preference, a
lumbar support 10 of the present invention is structured such that a
bulging member 30 provided with two housing parts 31 and 32 to house a
cushioning material for adjustment 34 is fixed on the back surface of a
flexible plate 20, which is incorporated so that the front surface of the
flexible plate 20 is positioned to the front surface side of a back
cushion 120. Accordingly, the curvature of the two housing parts 31 and
32 does not affect a feeling of contact with the waist as it is, but
works as a feeling of contact with larger curvature owing to the flexible
plate 20, which results in suppression of pressure on the nervous system
between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. Furthermore, by setting
the width of a border region 33 between the two housing parts 31 and 32
in an appropriate range, it is possible to suppress a feeling of pressure
on such a nervous system, and at the same time, to suppress any feeling
of incompatibility or other unpleasant feeling caused by too large a
curvature.
