The invention relates to a vehicle cockpit component, for example a vehicle seat (100), which is equipped with a heating and cooling device incorporated in the padding (20a, 20b) and/or upholstery (40a, 40b, 40c) of said component, and whose operation is based on the Peltier effect. According to the invention, the padding and/or upholstery of the cockpit component comprises a foam element (1) containing one or more intrinsically electrically conductive polymers which are altered so as to create p-type regions and n-type regions. The device according to the invention has several obvious advantages, including in particular a reduced number of components, reduced energy consumption, reduced emission of pollutants, elimination of moving fluids, and, more generally, moving parts, and quicker heating/cooling, with consequent improvement of the user's comfort.
