Making Bottom Cushion

 

In this section, we will guide you how you can make the bottom cushion of your floor chair. The material mentioned above should be in your access otherwise you will not be able to complete it.

 

Let’s start now.

 

• First thing you need to do is to cut the fabric into pieces.
• The floor chairs come in different sizes. So it is complete up to you what size you choose. You will make pieces of the fabric according to the size you want.
• Make two pieces for center and four pieces for sides.
• Now start sewing with the needle or sewing machine.
• Remember that while you sew the fabric and pieces into a square, make sure you do it on the inside. Otherwise stitching will appear on the outside.
• When you are done with sewing the square, flip it outside in order to fill the material.
• It can be foam or cotton or any other material you want to use.
• When the cushion has been filled, start sewing it. Use thread of the same color so that it doesn’t look weird.
• You can also create dots to make it more attractive. Many people keep the bottom cushions simples.
• The more creative you get, the better the bottom cushion will look.

 

Making the Back Cushion

 

When you are done with the bottom cushion, you will need to make the back cushion. For this you will need wood or frame for support. The back cushion is solid and hard otherwise it will not provide you with perfect support. So choose the frame or wood carefully.

• Gather your tools and material with wood or frame.
• You can also use an old chair by removing its legs.
• The dimensions should be according to your need. For example, for kids the chair will be small but for adults you can follow the standard size.
• Cut the fabric into four side pieces and two center pieces.
• Check the size of the frame. Make it the same size as the cushion.
• Start sewing the pieces and make them one.
• Now stuff the material and wood or frame.
• Sew it again and it will become another strong cushion.
• You can now attach the back cushion with the bottom one.
• You can also use it separately if you.

If you want to close the floor chair, you can do so. They take a lot less space. You can keep them anywhere in the room, in the corner, in store room, at the roof or any other place. They are very easy to move from one place to another.

 

Straight Backrest

 

For many people, back pain is a serious issue. They can’t use hard wood chairs that have a stiff back. Such people will be a lot more comfortable with floor chairs. They can use them for working, reading, sleeping and even for relaxing. Floor chairs have so many uses. The biggest one is they offer great comfort and support.

 

Universal Use

 

Floor chairs can be used like universal chairs. You can put them inside the bigger wood chair and enjoy the same experience. They are so useful that it is hard to deny their practicality and benefits.

 

Cool and Sleek Design

 

A lot of people love the sleek and nice designs in everything. When it comes to chairs, people wish to have a design that looks appealing. This is what floor chairs have. The quality fabric used of decent colors make them look beautiful, attractive and cool. The sleek design adds more to their beauty.

They are extremely lightweight. The fabric, cotton or foam make no weight at all. Carrying floor chairs is like you are carrying nothing. You can easily move them, place them anywhere and throw into the room corner. They cannot be broken with such things.

Reliable and Hard to Break

Even if you start throwing floor chairs, they will not get any damages. That is because they have cotton or foam inside that will just make them toss up and down.
