The technology disclosed herein enables repositioning of a seat cushion to put a vehicle passenger seat in a lounge mode. In a particular example, an apparatus includes the seat cushion, a forward support affixed at a first end to an underside of the seat cushion, and a first pivot connecting a second end of the forward support to a vehicle floor. The forward support and the seat cushion rotate around the pivot between a driving position and a lounge position. The apparatus further includes a rearward support that, when in a deployed position, supports a rearward end of the seat cushion from where the forward support is affixed in the lounge position. The rearward support is in a stowed position when the seat cushion is in the driving position. The apparatus also includes a second pivot around which the rearward support rotates between the deployed position and the stowed position.
