Papasan Chair Accessories

A wide array of options

For decades, papasan chairs have been popular in the United States. Introduced in the mid-60s, the design originated in the Philippines and has been known by names like a dish chair and a moon chair. Comprised of a round, bowl-like seat with a separate cushion, and a slightly angled, drum-shaped base usually made of rattan (you can also find them made of wood, wicker, plastic, and metal), papasan chairs are famous for their comfort. The separation of base and bowl allows you to arrange the chair to the angle of the most comfort to you - and readjust it on a whim. With a variety of cushion styles, you can customize your papasan chair to your liking, or even get different cushions for different moods. Never has a cozier, more versatile piece of furniture been invented.

With the popularity of the papasan comes a variety of accessories. It has never been easier to customize your papasan to fit your needs.

Cozy and stylish

You'll find papasan cushions stuffed in a variety of degrees, from a few inches thick to ten inches or better. Depending on your needs, you can make your papasan cushion as plush as you'd like it to be. In addition, there are hundreds of different cushion colors, patterns, and styles - and, for an inexpensive update for your chair, look for high-quality cushion covers, which come in both indoor and outdoor designs.

Finishing touches

Consider Velcro straps to anchor your papasan cushions to their base. This small investment will prevent the cushion from sliding or bunching up when you move around in the chair. Some straps come separately, though some come with the cushion itself.

For a more laid-back style (literally!) look into a matching papasan footstool/ottoman. With cushions in the same color and pattern of your papasan chair, footstools are a great addition to your set. And to add a little flair to your papasan furniture, try adding a few throw or scatter pillows in a matching or contrasting color.

You'll find that a few small touches can really add a lot of panache to your space. Throw in the amazing comfort of a papasan set, and you'll be happy with the results for years.
