Then could one boson create a bubble large enough to have such an effect?
Also, what is the barrier that separates the false vacuum from the true vacuum made of?
Also, is there another name for boson that I can use to keep these guys from tripping?
Probaby not, or else our universe would collapse all the time.

The barrier would be made of higgs field energy, mostly. You could interpret that as a gathering of uncountable bosons if you stretch it, but I don't find it very convincing. Could you make the fields such as the higgs field an entity like the force in Star Wars from which your protagonists somehow spring and which they are always connected to?
