Abstract
A seat (), in particular a backrest () comprises a seat structure (), a cover (), and a back panel (), which back panel () has at least one lateral wall () covering a receiving space () formed in a side wall () of the backrest (), in which a soft cover side airbag module SAM () is arranged, wherein the airbag of the SAM () will deploy between cover () and a free end () of the lateral wall () in a deployment direction ().
