Dining Room Chair Cushions
February 28, 2009
If you take the trouble to choose well-made, quality decorative chair cushions for your kitchen or dining room set, you’ll be rewarded with a set that lasts longer, is far more comfortable and requires less care in the long run. When choosing chair cushions for wooden chairs, take these things into account. Select the appropriate dimensions for the seat because it won’t be comfortable if the cushion isn’t big enough. If the size is too large it won’t look nice, plus the chair edges where the cushions overlap cause extra wear and shorten their lifespan.
Be certain that if there are ties or straps they are sewn into the cushion’s seam. Chair ties must be strong enough to withstand pulling and tugging when people sit and stand. If the ties are sewn into the seam, they’re far more likely to stay attached.
Your purchase of window seat cushions will actually help to keep your room tidy as stain guard treatment will rest stains. Investing in a can of stain resist or stain guard make it easier to keep them looking fresh and new should you find the perfect cushions aren’t stain resistant. This is,in fact, your kitchen, and your children eat here, right? Choose washable chair cushions – or one with removable, washable covers. Some spills are going to soak in even with stain guard. Being able to toss your chair cushions into the washer will make your life easier. Pick cushions in a durable fabric that will stand up to the wear of lots of seats on the seat.
Corduroy, denim, chintz, canvas and duck are all good choices for fabric that wears like iron. Firmly sewn into the seam between the top and bottom of the cushion should be rolled edges, piping and ruffles. Make sure the ruffle or piping doesn’t come free easily, by giving a little tug. Also, examine the seam carefully for any breaks and gaps. Cushions that are tufted look attractive, however, they aren’t that comfortable for sitting on for a long time. In choosing tufted cushions, be sure that any buttons are sewn through all of the layers of the chair cushion to avoid wriggling bottoms pulling them loose.
