The fastener has an attachment member securable to the bolster and a series of hook members extending from the attachment member and insertable between the first fibers and the second fibers of the seating surface. The hook members have a barb portion extending from the hook members to provide retention of the fastener to the first fibers, thereby securing the bolster to the seating surface.
