A lumbar support device for an automotive seat, which comprises a drive mechanism, a crank-like rod operatively connected to the drive mechanism, an elastic synthetic resin support plate, the upper part of which is movably secured to a seat back frame within a seat back of the seat, and a lumbar support portion defined in the lower part of the support plate. The lumbar support portion is formed in a cambered or forwardly curved shape. A forward and backward displacement of the support plate may be ajustably effected by the drive mechanism and crank-like rod to apply a pressure against the lumbar support area of foam cushion member of the seat back, and because of integral formation of both support plate and lumbar support portion, a gradual pressure gradient or distribution may be attained in the seat back cushion member, without creating a local non-pressure or extremely soft spot therein.
