A support assembly 102 for use in a seat assembly of a passenger vehicle comprises a support 104, a passenger support member 108, and a flexible retaining member 110. The passenger support member is spaced apart from and moveable with respect to the support. The flexible retaining member extends between the support and the passenger support member and restrains movement of the passenger support member relative to the support. A seat assembly comprising the support assembly can be used in aircraft. An impact absorbing assembly is also provided, the assembly comprising a support assembly with an absorption cavity and a resilient impact absorbing member extending from the support across the absorption cavity. A seat assembly for a passenger vehicle is also provided, the seat assembly having a seat base comprising a flexible seat pan with an upper surface. The seat base also comprises a foam cushion assembly disposed on the upper surface of the seat pan. Under the action of a passenger sitting on the seat assembly, the seat pan is deformed and/or displaced before the foam cushion is fully compressed against the upper surface of the seat pan.
