A heating and cooling mechanism disposed between a trim cover and foam pad of a seat assembly for increasing the thermal conductivity of the seat assembly. The mechanism comprises at least a pair of spaced apart elongated thermally conductive heat pipes and a thermally conductive distribution pad coupled between each of the heat pipes for disbursing thermal energy about the pad and between the heat pipes. A thermoelectric generator is electrically coupled to each of the heat pipes for generating thermal energy to the heat pipes for distribution across the pad.
