The disclosure concerns an energy absorbing mounting structure (5) for a vehicle seat (10). The mounting structure comprises a linear rail (20) configured for being fastened to a vehicle passenger cabin floor structure (7) and a deformable element (22). The deformable element (22) has a first attachment portion (23), a second attachment portion (24) and a deformable section (25) arranged between the first and second attachment portions (23, 24). The first attachment portion (23) is fastened to the rail (20) and the second attachment portion (24) is configured for being fastened to the vehicle passenger cabin floor structure (7) via an opening (26) in a bottom of the rail (20) for enabling relative motion between the floor structure (7) and the rail (20) in a longitudinal direction (11) of the rail (20) by deformation of the deformable section (25) in the event of a vehicle crash. The disclosure also concerns a corresponding method for providing an energy absorbing mounting of a vehicle seat (10).
