A pressure sensing textile sheet comprising a pressure sensor laminated onto a textile sheet, the pressure sensor comprising - at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads disposed in a pattern on a face of a first elastomeric carrier; and - an electrically resistive layer formed of a resistive composite material for shunting the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads, said electrically resistive layer disposed on a face of a second elastomeric carrier; wherein the first and second elastomeric carriers (3,5) are stacked across a spacer such that the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads face the electrically resistive layer across a gap defined by the spacer to form a pocket structure defining a gas confining structure that is filled with a gas that at least partly counters a force exerted on the pressure sensor, and wherein the first carrier including the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads and the second carrier including the electrically resistive layer are stretchable such as to upon receiving the force, exerted in a direction across the gap, reduce the gap between the electrically resistive layer and the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads to shunt the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads with the resistive composite material over a contact area in dependence of the received force to result in a pressure dependent electrical resistance between the conductive leads, and wherein the electrically resistive layer and/ or the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads is/are provided with a relief structure of micro bumps and the pocket structure is provided with an opening to reduce the counter force of the gas, said opening dimensioned to impede the gas from exiting the pocket. - at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads disposed in a pattern on a face of a first elastomeric carrier; and - an electrically resistive layer formed of a resistive composite material for shunting the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads, said electrically resistive layer disposed on a face of a second elastomeric carrier; wherein the first and second elastomeric carriers (3,5) are stacked across a spacer such that the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads face the electrically resistive layer across a gap defined by the spacer to form a pocket structure defining a gas confining structure that is filled with a gas that at least partly counters a force exerted on the pressure sensor, and wherein the first carrier including the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads and the second carrier including the electrically resistive layer are stretchable such as to upon receiving the force, exerted in a direction across the gap, reduce the gap between the electrically resistive layer and the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads to shunt the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads with the resistive composite material over a contact area in dependence of the received force to result in a pressure dependent electrical resistance between the conductive leads, and wherein the electrically resistive layer and/ or the at least two adjacent electrically conductive leads is/are provided with a relief structure of micro bumps and the pocket structure is provided with an opening to reduce the counter force of the gas, said opening dimensioned to impede the gas from exiting the pocket.
