A structural unit having a net member incorporated therein capable of preventing local application of undue force to the net member, to thereby increase reliability of the net member. An end section of a net member of a three-dimensional structure is treated so as to be reduced in cushioning characteristics and increased in hardness as compared with a portion of the net member positioned inside the end section. A frame constituting a part of the structural unit is provided with an end holding member so that an insertion port of an insertion gap of the end holding member is arranged in a particular direction or posture, resulting in the end section being readily held in the holding member by merely inserting the end section in the insertion gap. The end section is entirely inserted into the insertion gap, so that application of load to the end section may be carried out in a two-dimensional manner rather than a spot-like manner. This prevents local application of load to the net member, to thereby keep the net member from damage thereto.

1. A structural unit comprising:a net member of a three-dimensional structure constituted by a front mesh layer, a rear mesh layer and a plurality of piles arranged between said front mesh layer and said rear mesh layer so as to connect said front mesh layer and rear mesh layer to each other therethrough; said net member being formed on a periphery thereof with an end section; and an end holding member for supporting said end section of said net member therein; said end holding member including a holding element formed therein with an insertion gap into which said end section of said net member is inserted; said end section of said net member being treated so that at least a part thereof has a net structure increased in density and rigidity as compared with a portion of said net member positioned inside said end section, resulting in being held in said end holding member due to insertion thereof into said insertion gap of said end holding member; wherein said end section is treated so as to be reduced in thickness by heat welding, so that said net structure is increased in density and rigidity; and wherein said end section is subject to said heat welding after said end section is previously knitted so as to increase density of said net structure.
