A passenger seat including laterally repositionable armrests wherein a seat bottom width adjusts automatically according to the lateral armrest position. Adjustment mechanisms positioned on the opposing lateral sides of the seat carry the armrests and are driven inward and outward to laterally reposition the armrests. In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism includes levers drive by a connecting frame coupled to a motion driver such as a rack-and-pinion mechanism positioned in the seat bottom. In embodiments, the cushion utilizes stored internal energy from the cushion construction to expand when the armrests are repositioned laterally outward.
