Cloth-like heater

This cloth-like heater is mainly characterized by having a top layer (2) on which multiple top-layer conduction sections (4) are provided; a bottom layer (3) on which at least one bottom-layer conduction section (6) is provided; and a conductive intermediate heating layer (8) that connects the top layer (2) with the bottom layer (3). The most predominant characteristic of the heater is that connecting fibers (8a) of the intermediate heating layer (8) provided between the top-layer conduction sections (4) and the bottom-layer conduction section (6), to which a voltage is applied, generate heat.
