A cushion is usually placed on top of this seat which can be fitted with a variety of covers. Even though papasan chairs are of far eastern origin they became a part of the mainstream furniture market with their growing popularity in the US during the 1970s. Over time these chairs have become synonymous with comfort, convenience and affordability.
