An occupant protection device is provided in which a bag is inflated smoothly without interfering with a horizontal member, such as a seat spring. In one form, the occupant protection device includes a seat pan bridged between front portions of side frames of a seat; a bag disposed on the seat pan; and a gas generator for inflating the bag. The bag extends in the left-right direction of the seat pan and has its opposite ends linked with the seat pan via respective anchors. A posterior portion of a guide cloth is wrapped around one of spring components of a seat spring disposed directly behind the bag. An anterior portion of the guide cloth extends below the bag and is connected to a wrapping member. During an inflation process of the bag, the guide cloth guides the bag so that the bag is inflated upward smoothly without entering a space below the seat spring.
