What are Ventilated Seats?

Thanks to OEMs now offering luxury features onboard vehicles, ventilated seats are no more a dream for regular passenger vehicles. Simply stated ventilated seats are a feature designed to keep your body at a comfortable temperature, no matter what the temperature is outside. Ventilated seats are like an extended arm of the AC system onboard, that heats or cools your seats so that you can indulge in a more comfortable driving experience.

Generally made from materials that instead of trapping heat on the cushion, allows it to pass it through. These types of seats often feature porous materials that can allow hot or cold air to flow from the seat to the passenger or driver, with the help of sophisticated fans that are installed within the seat itself.
