Claim:
A vehicle seat, comprising: a first main track and a second main track positionable in a generally parallel configuration relative to the first main track; a first main slide rail and a second main slide rail spaced apart from the first main slide rail and oriented in a generally parallel configuration relative to the first main slide rail, the first and second main slide rails being slidably receivable by the first and second main tracks, wherein the first and second main slide rails are in mechanical communication with each other so that they are adapted to slide as a single body; at least one bolster frame member attached to the first main slide rail and supporting a first bolster cushion, the at least one bolster frame member comprising a bolster side frame member extending away from the first main slide rail and defining a inner face and an outer face, and a bolster cushion pan member attached to an inner face of the at least one bolster side frame member; at least one bolster frame member attached to the second main slide rail and supporting a second bolster cushion, the at least one bolster frame member comprising a bolster side frame member extending away from the second main slide rail and defining a inner face and an outer face, and a bolster cushion pan member attached to an inner face of the at least one bolster side frame member; a first bolster cushion disposed at least partially in, and supported by, the bolster cushion pan member; a second bolster cushion disposed at least partially in, and supported by, the bolster cushion pan member; a first insert track support member extending away from an inner face of the bolster side frame member; a first insert track member attached to, and supported by, the first insert track support member, the first insert track member being oriented in a direction approximately parallel to that of the first main track member; a second insert track support member extending away from an opposing face of the bolster side frame member; a second insert track member attached to, and supported by, the second insert track support member, the second insert track member being oriented in a direction approximately parallel to that of the second main track member; and a slideable seat base disposed at an oblique angle relative to a seat back, the slideable seat base comprising a cushion support member, a cushion disposed on and substantially covering a top face of the cushion support member, a pair of slide rails attached to a bottom face of the cushion support member and oriented in a generally parallel direction relative to each other and adapted to be slidably received by the first and second insert track members, the seat base being adapted to be reversibly freed to slide along a straight line relative to the seat back such that the seat base can slide at least partially under the seat back.
