Zusammenfassung:	An inflatable thoracic support bladder adapted to be secured to a seatback (62) is provided. The inflatable bladder (66) has a forward surface (76) and a rearward surface (78). The bladder is defined by a center portion (72) extending in an upright direction and oriented to be positioned adjacent the seatback to align adjacent a thoracic region of a user's spine. A pair of side portions (74) is each disposed adjacent to and connected with the center portion. A plurality of filaments (88,102) extends between the forward surface and the rearward surface of the bladder in the center portion. Upon inflation of the bladder, the center portion has a first stiffness that is greater than a second stiffness of the pair of side portions to support the user's spine along the center portion.
