The invention relates to a vehicle seat or a vehicle cab with a suspension system (2) comprising an upper closing part (3) and a lower closing part (4) which is deflectable in relation to the upper closing part (3), which closing parts are connected to each other in a resilient manner by means of a suspension element (19), and with a damping system (25, 26) for damping vibrations acting on at least one of the two closing parts (3, 4), wherein the damping system (25, 26) and a distance levelling system for adjusting a distance (32) between the upper closing part (3) and the lower closing part (4) have a common fluid actuator element (31) controlled by compression and tension stages (30, 30A).
