A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback having a frame that provides structural integrity to the seatback and operably couples the seatback to a vehicle floor. A carrier is operably coupled to the frame. A foam cushion assembly is operably coupled to the carrier. The foam cushion assembly includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a first side bolster, and a second side bolster. A continuous semi-rigid foam cord is formed in the foam cushion assembly. The foam cord extends through a forward periphery of the upper portion, the lower portion, the first side bolster, and the second side bolster. The foam cord is configured to add structural rigidity to the seatback.
