CHAIR CUSHIONS

The Roman sella had many variations, but the chairs commonly used in the house used attached or unattached chair pads. Roman women have been portrayed sitting arm chairs with padding on both the seat and the back. During the Medieval period and the Renaissance, chair cushions evolved into comfortable upholstered padding, but this did not spell the end of the separate seat cushion. The 18th century English chair introduced intricate carving and lathe-work to the wooden chair, which left gaps that made it the perfect candidate for a seat cushion's tie attachments. Non-padded chair designs have persisted through the ages and still can be found in homes today. Very human sensibilities cannot help but add a chair pad or two to a bare wooden, metal or wicker chair. Chair cushions add comfort, but stylistically they add a lot more to room decor. They soften hard edges of bare furniture and give the opportunity to add extra color to a room... Chair cushions typically come in one piece..
