available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural substance, each part differs in
thickness or density.

result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.

The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.
Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the
