We present a complete study of the vacuum structure of top quark seesaw models of the electroweak symmetry breaking, including bottom quark mass generation. Such models emerge naturally from bosonic extra dimensions. We perform a systematic gap equation analysis and develop an improved broken phase formulation for including exact seesaw mixings. The composite Higgs boson spectrum is studied in the large-Nc fermion-bubble approximation and an improved renormalization group approach. The theoretically allowed parameter space is restrictive, leading to well-defined predictions. We further analyze the electroweak precision constraints. Generically, a heavy composite Higgs boson with a mass of ~1 TeV is predicted, yet fully compatible with the precision data.
