Papasan Chair Buyer's Guide

Tips on finding the right chair for you

Papasan chairs are wildly popular, both for their comfort and their versatility. For your convenience, we've put together a handy guide to some of the questions you'll want to ask yourself when choosing the ideal papasan for you.

How big (or small)?

The first thing to consider when buying a papasan chair is size. Are you looking for a single seat or room for more than one person? Are you looking for a chair for an adult, a child, or a baby? How large is the space where you'll position your chair? Papasan chairs have branched out to include double papasans, mamasan seats (wider, for more than one person), junior papasans (ideal for children), and baby papasans (swings and bouncers made especially for babies). You can even find papasan chairs that swivel or rock, which means you'll be able to find the perfect papasan to fit all of your family's needs.

The look is important, too

Secondly, consider your overall design scheme. Would a rattan papasan base fit in with your current decor, or would you be better off with a metal frame? You can find frames made of many materials, such as wood, wicker, and plastic, in addition to metal and (most popular) rattan. You can even find finishes in different colors and stains, making the task of finding the best chair to suit your space easier than ever.

While considering the color, design, and finish of your papasan base, also consider the cushion. How thick do you want it to be? What colors or patterns are you looking for? If you're the type of person who likes to mix things up, you might want to consider purchasing two or more cushions to interchange and bring a new look to your chair whenever the mood strikes. Another idea is to buy one cushion with multiple cushion covers (great for inexpensively trying out a new design or color with your current decor).

With these ideas in mind, you're well on your way to finding the perfect papasan chair. And with our vast selection at PapasanChairShop.com, you won't have to look any further - everything you need is right here.
