The object of the invention is to improve a seat of this kind, so that a person having hip and/or leg stiffness may have a better sitting position than is possible in previously known seats of this kind. This is achieved according to the invention in that each pivotable portion (1, 2) extends over substantially the full sitting depth of the seat, and in that the pivot axis (3) is positioned at a distance from the front edge of the seat corresponding to at least half the sitting depth.
