Description
This is a pair of square seat pads with a soft slub cotton face and reverse and a plush polyester filling. The slub in the weave is the point of it: a slub yarn is spun with deliberate thick and thin sections, so the surface has a gentle irregular texture rather than a flat, uniform face. That gives the pad a relaxed, natural look and a fabric with a little more character than a plain cotton weave. The colour is a soft muted green, and each pad carries a small central tuft that pulls the filling into a shallow dome and stops it shifting as you sit.
These are made for dining chairs and kitchen chairs, the sort with a hard wooden or woven seat that gets uncomfortable across a long meal. The pair means you can dress two chairs to match, or split them across a bench and a stool. The muted green sits happily against pale wood, natural rush and linen, and works as well in a kitchen as at a dining table. Because the tone is quiet rather than bold, it blends into most rooms instead of fighting whatever is already there.
Each pad ties on with a pair of fabric ties that loop around the chair back or the rear legs and knot into a bow, so the pad stays put and does not slide forward when the chair is pulled out. The face and reverse are pure cotton, which is breathable and pleasant to sit on, while the polyester filling holds its loft and springs back rather than flattening. Cotton takes a wash well and cotton fibres are naturally absorbent, so a cover fabric of pure cotton is easy to keep fresh. Untie the pads to lift them off when you need to.
