A motor vehicle having a seating layout comprising a first seat (101, figure 5a) and a second seat (103, figure 5a), the first seat 101 and the second seat 103 being staggered so that a footwell 105 for the second seat 103 is by the side of the first seat 101. A seat base 113 of the second seat 103 is movable to form a shelf 109 extending at least partially over the footwell 105 for the second seat 103. The shelf may be positioned in line with the seat base of the first seat in a vertical or horizontal direction. The second seat may comprise a leg rest (153, figure 9a) movable to form a shelf 109, or a seat back (115, figure 3b) comprising a usable surface (121, figure 3b) to form a shelf 109. The shelf may comprise an extension portion and support members deployable from the shelf or from an extension portion. The second seat 103 may comprise a portion configured to deform by an amount more than an amount by which a seat portion of the vehicle seat deforms for a given load.
