A vehicle seat system includes a support surface having a first side and a second side that is opposite the first side. A first seat rail is coupled to the first side of the support surface. A second seat rail is coupled to the first side of the support surface spaced from the first seat rail. A seat member includes a first stanchion moveably supported at the first seat rail, a second stanchion moveably supported at the second seat rail, and a member arranged between the first stanchion and the second stanchion. A magnet is mounted at the second side of the support surface. A levitation controller is operatively connected to the magnet. The levitation controller is activated to drive the magnet to repel the member and raise the first stanchion and the second stanchion relative to corresponding ones of the first seat rail and the second seat rail.
