A stowable seat (10) for a motor vehicle (1), and in particular for a van, having a moveable bulkhead (9) is disclosed in which a backrest (11) of the seat (10) is stowed vertically above a squab (12) of the seat (10) and a support mechanism (20) for the seat (10) is arranged so that no member of the support mechanism (20) is located to the rear of a vertical plane "V" aligned with a rearmost part of the stowed seat (10). This arrangement allows the moveable bulkhead (9) to be moved right up to the rearmost edge of the stowed seat (10) thereby maximising the carrying capacity of the motor vehicle (1) when the seat (10) is stowed. The support mechanisms (20) allow the seat (10) to be moved simply between its stowed and 'in-use' positions by moving the backrest (11).
