seat backs

Tray table mounts

The backs of seats—the upright portions that support a seated person's back.

The term appears most often in transportation contexts, particularly airline safety announcements: Please return your seat backs to their upright position.

Also common in car design discussions and furniture descriptions.

Sometimes written as one word: seatbacks.
