PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flexible structure with improved safety and a cooling and heating function by placing a flexible composition body with heat conductivity between a surface material and a heating and cooling body and bringing the surface material into thermal contact with the heating and cooling body. SOLUTION: The surface material is constituted of, for instance, polyvinyl chloride resin, polyurethane resin, or one whose surface is coated by such resin. The flexible structure 3 is composed of, for instance, a flexible insulating material 6 such as foam resin, felt, etc., and a heat conductive material 7 such as a metal or an inorganic substance with electric conductivity and is formed by bringing a heating and cooling body 4 into thermal contact with the surface material 2. The heat conductivity of the flexible composition 3 is generated by combining the flexible insulating material 6 and the heat conductive material 7 or mechanically mixing them. A Peltier element is used as the heating and cooling body 4. Thus the flexible structure 1 with cushioning properties and heating and cooling function by transmitting heat and cold of the heating and cooling body can be obtained.
