Cushion the Hardest Furniture with Foam Pads

One of the great tragedies of interior design and home decorating occurs when a beautiful furniture set is added to a home, only to have it be so uncomfortable, it never gets used. Wooden furniture tends to be the biggest transgressor in these situations, as they can be intricately and meticulously crafted for beauty, but end up lacking practical comfort. If you have these kinds of pieces in your home, you can still save them with foam furniture cushions.

Cushions for furniture are an incredibly simple yet effective way to get comfort out of a hard rocking chair or dining room set while maintaining their attractiveness. Cushions can be made in any number of foam materials, from the softest foam for the squishiest cushion, to firm materials that offer support and take the edge off a hard seat. They are customizable to the shape of a chair’s seat and can be as thick or as thin as you desire. The simplest solutions are big box store cushions that are often filled with polyester fiber filling that pads furniture for cheap. But for the best comfort and long-term durability, ordering custom cushions from an upholsterer or fabricator is the smartest solution.

These can be ordered in any kind of covering fabric in patterns and colors to match your home’s motif and accented with buttoning and welting as detailed as the furniture they’ll soften. The best part is, these cushions aren’t permanent additions to your chairs. You can move them from room to room or seat to seat as you please or even store them when not in use to preserve the appearance of the furniture you fell in love with. There is a way to have your cake and eat it too with uncomfortable furniture, and foam cushions are just the recipe.
