Seat Cushions in Wool Felt & Genuine Leather – comfortable & handmade

The felt seat cushion: warm, breathable and long-lasting

For our seat cushions we use 3 mm design felt made of 100% virgin wool, produced in Germany. You can tell it by its dense, even surface – the colours have depth, with a subtle mottled character. And you can feel it: warm and soft, it doesn't scratch and doesn't pill. Wool felt absorbs moisture and releases it again – so the seat stays dry and comfortable in summer and winter alike. On top of that, the felt is naturally flame-resistant, certified to OekoTex Standard 100, and leaves no microplastics behind.

Leather seat cushions: rugged, robust and full of character

Our leather is thick, natural and has a beautiful, coarse grain. It comes from the long-established tannery LEDER-FABRIK AUGUST RENZ KG in Tuttlingen, which vegetable-tans it for us: with tanning agents from bark and leaves, just as it has been done for centuries. Milling makes the cowhide supple. And it lives: scratches and traces of use become patina over the years – the leather doesn't age, it gets more beautiful, and you're sitting on a pure natural material that lasts for years. Read here why that matters to us.

The padding: firm foam for hours of comfortable sitting

Between the covers we place 20 mm of firm, permanently elastic comfort foam: it returns to its shape every time you get up. We tested various grades and deliberately chose this one – a good balance of comfort and stability. In total, the cushion is 26 mm thick; the foam gives slightly as you sit, so you sit about 2 cm higher than before.

Everything is sewn with extra-strong thread, colour-matched to the cover. Our seat pads need no edge binding: felt and leather are firm at the cut edges and won't fray.

Make your seat cushion non-slip!

Optionally, we coat the underside with natural latex, so the chair pads stay where they belong: on the chair, the stool or the bench. The latex is applied by hand and holds better and longer than many standard anti-slip coatings. Good to know: with the anti-slip coating, the cushion can only be used on one side – without it, it stays reversible.

Chair cushion shapes and sizes, made to your wishes

 

 

 

Then you design your cushion: you choose material and colour separately for the top and bottom – felt in many modern colours, fresh and vivid or subtle and muted, leather in black, brown or cognac. The result is a reversible cushion with two beautiful sides: simply flip it over whenever you fancy the other one. Once you order, we cut the cover and foam and sew your seat pad – whether for the chair in the dining room or the stool in the hallway.
