Floor cushions

Relax on the ground

If you use to sit on the ground while you rest or you read a book in the living room, you are in good company. Sit, work and conduct business on the ground is a common practice that dates back to antiquity. There are many primitive people who used to sit and even to sleep on the floor using a layer of skin or a mat flat. Numerous pieces of furniture, very low, are date back to the Egyptian and greek period, used just to sit on the ground.

Today the use of floor cushions is very popular among children, but also in public places, especially during summer. We have already spoken of bean bags and how often these unusual chairs solve the problem of seating without necessarily keep label and form.

Even in the world of floor cushions are many proposals, interesting and curious, often colorful, for outdoor use.

Outdoor floor cushions

The way to live outdoors has changed over time. By now the garden furniture are real pieces of furniture, characterized by high-strength and high-tech materials, but with practical details that fit perfectly indoors.

The same applies to the floor cushions: pillows, often large, that enrich a terrace, patio or pool, often made with many innovative materials, ultra weather resistant.

Some examples are the pillows Marie Sophie Brand Jaqui. 100% removable vinyl covers, washable and waterproof, which makes these floor cushions versatile and functional. Despite resistance, are also very soft, thanks to the filling with EPS, or polystyrene, which are contained in a bag made of nonwoven fabric, which allows to avoid the dispersion when it proceeds to remove it.. Soft and comfortable, since precisely this filling allows an optimal adaptation to the shape of the body that hovers above, with a very soft support.

They are perfect for outdoor Paola Lenti's floor cushions. Also in this case we are in the presence of products completely removable, which can also be used to completion of sessions outdoor or indoor.

The padding of these floor cushions is made in polyester fiber or polyurethane foam, while the coating, removable cover, is made in felt, with the possibility of personalization, also present in the collection of carpets from outside.

The floor cushions line Float by Paola Lenti, for example, which also includes armchair and chaise longue, are constituted by a filling into spheres of polystyrene and polyester fabric spaced, but are coated with the technological fabrics typical company, Rope or Aquatech, the combination of which allows the strong water drainage even if you left them outdoor.

Indoor and outdoor cushions

Beautiful and practical, modern floor cushions can be used easily even at home, for relaxing with a good book or watching TV. Many proposals also dedicated to eco and recycling, as Sabossa Cojin, a product of the historic Spanish company Nanimarquina. A pillow shaped retro coordinated with an ottoman, all made with a tricot polyester yarn recycled, highly water-resistant, but perfect in the various rooms of the house.

This pillow is actually a remake of the vintage model released in 1968, again by the Barcelona characterized by a 100% filling in the form of expanded polypropylene beads, which integrates the collection, along with comfortable and practical carpets, shapes and different colors.

Remember instead of the s-axis giant floor cushions in the collection Livingstone Lana, of Smarin.

I'm talking about Pillow, Fat Boy, a collection of body pillows, characterized by excellent coatings and decorations and special colors, recognizable to the seams. The interior is made of non-deformable foam which allows a comfortable seat, while the exterior is declined in 8 different models, which differ in fantasy and coating color.

Mound of Rounds is a collection of cushions to sit on the floor, made in such a way as to be easily stacked. Comfortable and practical, they are also very decorative, thanks to the many colors in which they are made.
