A seat mounted (18) on a floor of a vehicle (10) includes a seat button (18a) having front and rear portions. The seat bottom is movable between an upper position such that the front and rear end portions are at respective first positions, and a lowered position such that the first and rear end portions are at respective second positions. The front end portion moves downwardly a greater distance from its respective first to second position than the distance the rear end portion moves from its respective first to the second position when the seat bottom is moved from its upper position to its lowered position. The seat can further include a seat back (18b) pivotally connected to the seat bottom (18a) such that the seat back is movable to a generally horizontal position. A pair of seats (14, 18) can be incorporated into a vehicle interior (10) to define front (14) and rear (18) seats. The front seat (14) has a panel (24) pivotally attached to the seat back (14b) of the front seat (14). The panel (24) is movable to a horizontal position such that the panel extends from the front seat back to the rear seat to bridge a gap between the seat backs of the front and rear seats when in their respective forward positions. The panel and seat backs of the front and rear seats form a generally horizontal coplanar support surface.
