The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the recessed portions are each shaped such that a part of each recessed portion disposed adjacent to the separation portion has a width narrower than other parts of the respective recessed portion. 5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the recessed portions provided on the first side of the separation portion and the plurality of the recessed portions provided on the second side of the separation portion are provided in a symmetric manner across the separation portion. 6. The vehicle seat according to claim 5 , wherein the recessed portions are each shaped such that a part of each recessed portion disposed adjacent to the separation portion has a width narrower than other parts of the respective recessed portion. 7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the recessed portions are each shaped such that a part of each recessed portion disposed adjacent to the separation portion has a width narrower than other parts of the respective recessed portion. 8. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the separation portion extends between terminal ends of each of the plurality of the recessed portions provided on the first side of the separation portion and terminal ends of each of the plurality of the recessed portions provided on the second side of the separation portion. 9. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal dimension of each of the recessed portions extends in a direction askew from a longitudinal dimension of the separation portion. 10. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the inner side of the deformable portion faces a region that is at least partially surrounded by the seat frame.
