Claim:
1. A vehicle seat, comprising: a seat back covered with a covering; a seat back frame disposed in the seat back; an airbag that is disposed in the seat back between a reaction-force-receiving member and a back portion of the covering, and that deploys in the seat back between the reaction-force-receiving member and the back portion of the covering; and the reaction-force-receiving member that is disposed in back of a seat pad and is disposed in front of the air bag, the reaction-force-receiving member being configured to be deformed, in a forward direction of a vehicle, to protrude into an area that is occupied by the seat pad before the air bag deploys, and the reaction-force-receiving member controls a deployment direction of the airbag by receiving a reaction force generated when the airbag deploys such that, in the forward direction of the vehicle, a width of the seat pad decreases after the air bag is deployed, wherein the airbag deploys in the seat back in such a way that, after having deployed, the airbag elastically supports an upper body of an occupant and elastically receives an impact force applied to a back surface of the seat back by a body of a seated person on a rear seat, and wherein the reaction-force-receiving member comprises an elastic support member that is disposed across the seat back frame.
