Millie Ruffle Striped Polyester Seat Pad - Yellow

These Millie Ruffle seat pads come as a pair, each one worked in a yellow and white stripe with a gathered ruffle running right around the edge. They are made from 100% polyester on both the face and the reverse, and they measure 40 x 40cm, which is the seat size to check against a standard dining or kitchen chair before you buy. Polyester holds a printed pattern well and resists fading, so the stripe stays crisp through repeated use both indoors and out. The centre is buttoned in a grid of small covered tufts, which is what keeps the filling evenly spread rather than sliding to one corner over time.

Because they are described for indoor and outdoor use, these pads suit a garden dining chair as readily as a kitchen or breakfast-room one. The pair lets you dress two matching chairs at once, or split them across a small table, and the yellow reads bright without shouting, so it sits happily alongside natural wood, painted furniture or a plainer scheme that wants a lift. The ruffle gives a softer, more traditional look than a plain-edged pad, which is worth bearing in mind if your chairs lean cottage rather than contemporary.

Each pad fastens with a pair of matching ties at the back, so you can knot it securely to the chair frame and it will not shift as you sit down or stand up. There is a zip closure as well, which means the cover can be taken off the filling. The covered buttons and the frilled edge are the two details that set this pad apart from a plain squab, so let them show by choosing chairs with an open back rather than a solid one. Sold as a pair, they are an easy way to bring a coordinated finish to a seating area.

What size chair will these fit?

Each pad measures 40 x 40cm, which suits most standard dining and kitchen chairs. Measure your seat first so the pad sits neatly without overhanging the edges.

How do they stay on the chair?

Each pad has a pair of matching ties at the back that you knot around the chair frame or uprights, holding the pad in place as you sit and stand.

Can I use these outdoors?

They are described for indoor and outdoor use, so they suit a garden dining chair as well as a kitchen one. Bring them in during heavy rain to keep them fresh.

What are they made from?

The face and reverse are both 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fabric that holds a printed pattern well and resists fading through repeated use in bright light.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a zip closure, so the cover can be removed from the filling. Check the sewn-in label for the maker's own washing guidance before laundering.

How many pads do I get?
