  "textContent": "Presented are seat assemblies with collapsible side bolsters, methods for making/using such seat assemblies, and vehicles equipped with such seat assemblies. A seat assembly includes a seat base, a seat bottom fixed to the seat base, and a seat back pivotably attached to the seat base adjacent the seat bottom. A pair of side bolsters is attached to lateral sides of the seat back or bottom. Each side bolster includes a foam core with a cavity and a bolster trim that covers the foam core. A bolster insert includes a hollow elastic body and is interposed between the bolster trim and foam core. The bolster insert collapses from a deployed state to a retracted state under the weight of the seat back when pivoted against the seat bottom. The bolster insert passively snaps back to the deployed state when the seat back is pivoted away from the seat bottom.",
