ComfortThin Seats
Our breakthrough in seat design proves that thin can be comfortable. That’s why we call it ComfortThin. We replaced the seat back’s molded foam and suspension structure with a mat that contains more than a hundred small coil springs. Each spring responds individually to the occupant’s movement for greater comfort. This unique design reduces mass by up to 20 percent, enabling enhanced vehicle fuel efficiency. The seat back profile is also up to 40 percent thinner than a conventional foam seat back, resulting in a more spacious interior. Yet, despite being dramatically thinner than a conventional foam seat, our ComfortThin automotive seat is just as comfortable. Only Johnson Controls offers ComfortThin seats that give vehicle manufacturers a significant competitive advantage and point of differentiation.
