A vehicle seat having an adaptable lateral support and method of adapting lateral support are provided. The seat has a seat frame on which a seat cushion and/or a backrest cushion and at least one actuator is retained, wherein the seat cushion and/or the backrest cushion has at least one laterally arranged, resiliently deformable side wall cushion for the lateral support of a person sitting on the vehicle seat and the actuator is operationally connected to the side wall cushion and configured to apply a deformation force for the resilient deformation of the side wall cushion. The vehicle seat has a cable element which connects the side wall cushion to the actuator in a force-transmitting manner so that the actuator introduces the deformation force by tensioning the cable element directly from the cable element into the side wall cushion to deform the side wall cushion to change the lateral support.
