An impact cushion device for a motor vehicle includes an impact cushion, which can be adjusted from a compressed stowed position into an expanded use position. A motor vehicle component and a cover element together delimit a receiving area for the impact cushion when the impact cushion is in the stowed position. The cover element is held on the motor vehicle component via a latching connection at least in some regions when the impact cushion is arranged in the stowed position, and the cover element can be released from the motor vehicle component at least in some regions when the impact cushion is adjusted from the stowed position into the use position. The receiving area is equipped with a plastic foam which covers at least some regions of the impact cushion relative to the cover element when the impact cushion is in the stowed position, the plastic foam being covered by the cover element.
