ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat in which the seat cushion and/or seat back are formed with side bolsters that are reinforced by hollow inserts, preferably blow molded, that are attached to the seat cushion or seat back frame in the area of the side bolster and which are then covered by the foam pad. The hollow reinforcements increase the lateral support provided by the seat to the seat occupant at a relatively low added cost. The inserts may be attached to the seat component frame by a number of methods including the use of cable ties wrapped around the insert and the frame, rivets, snap members, clips, etc. The inserts, in addition to providing improved reinforcement in the bolster area may also result in a weight reduction as compared to a conventional wire reinforcement of the foam bolsters.
