An inflatable seat back associated with a horizontal base and including an expandable pocket with a movable seat back panel. The seat back panel is movable between a lowered position parallel to the base and a raised position perpendicular to the base. An inflatable bladder disposed within the expandable pocket is selectively inflatable to move and support the seat back at a selected angle with respect to the base. The expandable pocket includes a web section interconnecting the base and the peripheral free edge of the seat back panel. A zippered opening in the web allows access to insert or remove the inflatable bladder from the pocket. Also, a zippered closure secures the free edge of the panel to the base when the panel is in the lowered position.
