How to Install Seat Cushions on Wood Chairs

Seat cushions for wood chairs provide soft and supportive seating for otherwise hard surfaces. Wood chairs such as kitchen table chairs or rocking chairs commonly come with seat cushions. You can change a seat cushion to something that more appropriately matches your room's decor or to a cushion that is more durable. Installing a seat cushion on a wooden chair is a simple process.
