Rail seats have been criticised for being uncomfortable, even over short journeys. Interior design looks to reduce seat profiles but often at the expense of comfort, as the foams used for cushioning need to be reduced in depth, with hardening agents to improve their safety compliance. Foam is petroleum-derived and emits toxins during its lifecycle. This project seeks to eradicate its use in rail seating whilst improving on its performance characteristics.EcoSeat will use combinations of low height pocket springs, designed to meet the load cases experienced in rail, to provide a more comfortable seat, that exceeds current standards at a cost-effective price point. The project utilises Quantum Seating's design and rail experience in proving durable seats with less than half the emissions of current materials, with second life materials coming from its 100% recyclability.

铁路座椅因不舒服（即使是短途旅行）而受到批评。内饰设计旨在减少座椅轮廓，但往往以牺牲舒适度为代价，因为用于缓冲的泡沫需要减少深度，并使用硬化剂来提高其安全性。泡沫源自石油，在其生命周期中会释放毒素。该项目旨在消除其在铁路座椅中的使用，同时改进其性能特征。EcoSeat 将使用低高度袋装弹簧组合，旨在满足铁路中所经历的负载情况，以提供更舒适的座椅，其性能超出了当前标准。性价比高的价位。该项目利用了 Quantum Seating 的设计和铁路经验，证明了耐用座椅的排放量不到现有材料的一半，而二次生命材料则来自其 100% 可回收性。
