A seat assembly includes one or more adjustable components disposed in a seat portion or a seatback of the seat assembly. The adjustable components are operable between stowed and deployed positions. A controller is operably coupled to the adjustable components and configured to adjust the adjustable components towards the deployed position when a seat occupant is seated in the seat assembly. The controller moves one or more of the adjustable components towards the deployed position until a pressure force is detected by one or more sensors disposed in either the seat portion or the seatback, or both. The pressure forces are detected by the sensors as one or more of the adjustable components contacts a vehicle occupant. Movement of the adjustable components may cease immediately when a pressure value is detected and may also continue until a threshold pressure value is reached.
