Slub Cotton Plain Polyester Seat Pad - Lichen

This is a pair of square seat pads with a soft slub cotton face and reverse, filled with polyester. The slub in the weave gives the cotton a gently uneven texture, so the surface reads as natural rather than flat, and the muted olive-green shade sits comfortably against pale wood and neutral walls. Each pad is a plain square with tie fastenings at two corners, and the set comes as a twin pack so you can dress a matched pair of chairs at once.

These pads are made for dining and everyday seating. They soften a hard wooden or woven chair seat, which matters most on the chairs you actually sit at through a long meal or a working afternoon. The plain, quiet colour is the point here: it does the job without competing with the rest of the table, so it works as well on a kitchen chair as on a dining chair, and the ties mean it stays put rather than sliding off when you stand. Tuck the bows behind the chair uprights and they sit neatly out of the way.

The cotton face is stitched through to hold the polyester filling in place, which is what gives the top its softly quilted, buttoned look and stops the padding shifting to one side over time. Cotton on the seating surface is breathable and pleasant to sit on, and the ties are the same cotton as the pad. Being cotton-faced, they will take everyday use well and are easy to keep looking tidy with a light brush down. The plain finish means they pair with patterned table linen or plates without clashing, and the neutral tone gives you room to change everything else around them.

How do the seat pads stay on the chair?

Each pad has cotton tie fastenings at the back corners, which you knot around the chair uprights to hold the pad in place while you sit and stand.

How many pads come in the pack?

This is a twin pack, so you get two matching seat pads, enough to dress a pair of dining or kitchen chairs together.

What is the face fabric made of?

The face and reverse are 100% cotton with a slub texture, which gives the surface a gently uneven, natural look, and the pads are filled with polyester.

Will the pads suit a plain wooden chair?

Yes, the muted olive-green colour is quiet and neutral, so it softens a hard wooden or woven seat without competing with the rest of your table setting.

Why are they described as slub cotton?

Slub refers to the slightly thick and thin variation spun into the yarn, so the woven cotton has a subtle texture rather than a completely smooth, flat face.
