A vehicle seating assembly for a motor vehicle has a lower seat comprising a cushion frame assembly connected to a vehicle floor, the cushion frame assembly comprising a cushion pan that forms a forward portion of the cushion frame assembly. A pair of independent thigh supports is symmetrically disposed along either side of a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle seating assembly and is operably coupled to the cushion pan, wherein each of the independent thigh supports comprises a resilient member having a predetermined hysteresis support-curve to provide independent and resilient support for each thigh of an occupant's legs. A cushion foam assembly is disposed above and operably coupled to the cushion frame, a forward portion of the cushion foam assembly being supported by the pair of independent thigh supports.
