If you are looking for a comfortable, stylish chair for a casual living room, great room, family room or bedroom, consider a papasan chair. A papasan chair is deep, comfortable and snuggly, a good seating option for reading or watching movies. The papasan usually consists of a large, round cushion and a round, double-ended rattan base. It is available in a multitude of fabrics and finishes and is easy to assemble. Assembling a papasan chair Your new papasan chair will come in three, or possibly four, pieces: the base, the cushion basket, the large round cushion and possibly a separate cushion cover. The base will have two round openings on either end, one larger than the other. Place the narrower end on the floor, the wider end facing up. Many catalogs and online retailers show their papasan chairs with improper base placement. Put the basket in the wider end so the chair does not flip over. Place the basket on the base so the wide end is holding the underside of the basket, which should be positioned like a soup bowl.
If you have a cushion cover, wrap your cushion with it. Place the cushion within the bowl of the basket. Adjust the basket and cushion to a position that makes it easy for you to get in and out of the papasan chair. Accessorize your chair with a throw pillow or lap blanket.

You can personalize it even more with a few pillows and a comfy throw.The Papasan Chair ReconsideredThe maligned chair had a moment, once. Really, over a decade-long stretch; yet now you can barely give one away (we see at least one on the street weekly). A quick perusal of Craigslist New York brings up about forty of the chairs, all posted within the last two weeks, almost all under $50.
As our friend Chelsea put put it, they are "the Stair Master of furniture". Not that it requires an introduction, but according to Pier 1 Imports, the company that initially imported the chairs from the Philippines, "The Papasan Chair, also known as a dish or moon chair, is a perennially popular choice for those furnishing their first dorm rooms, apartments and other spaces. This chair features a sturdy rattan frame that sits atop a durable base and a removable decorative cushion. Papasan Chairs have been a favorite for so many years because they are extremely comfortable, making them a great place to hang out while watching TV, reading, gaming or talking to friends." This photo from Domino, while we're not crazy about the interior, illustrates that the Papasan can be worked into more modern environments We're not arguing for any kind of papasan renaissance here, but wondering if perhaps, in the right context, these chairs could be aesthetically salvaged. There is something McGuire-ish about all that caning.
We're picturing a pair with simple, white cushions (no prints; the chair is busy enough on its own, without the aid of a pattern.) in a spare but layered space. White floors, lots of books, not too much color, paired with other classic pieces, like Thonet bentwood chairs. We could even be sold on painting the wood itself, as Truman Capote did here. What do you think? Is the chair worth revisiting?

All of which is just another way of saying, "Ahhh."Edit ArticleHow to Make a Papasan Chair Cushion Do you have an old papasan or "satellite dish" chair with a ratty (or entirely missing!) cushion?
There's no need to buy a new one! You can replace it by making a new one out of a few old bed pillows and some heavy cloth. See Step 1 to get started. Acquire a papasan chair frame if you don't already have one. Dig all those old pillows out of your closet or garage and launder them. Remove the pillow slips and pillow covers. Cut the pillows diagonally to form wedges. Place 6-8 of your half-pillow wedges on the chair seat, arranging them until all of the rattan frame is thickly covered. Lay the wedges on two large pieces of cloth for the cover. (You should cut both sides at the same time, as they'll be sewn together later to make the cover.) Be certain your area is flat. The floor works well. Trim the edges of the wedges to make the outer edge smooth and round. Cut the two layers of material around the pillow wedges, leaving approximately a two inch margin. Fold the resulting circles in half, and then in half again and once again to get one eighth of a circle.
Sew the perimeters of the two cloth circles together, leaving two feet of opening for stuffing. Turn and stuff by placing your pillow wedges snugly inside. Sew through the entire thickness and tie off snugly approximately every 12 inches (30.5 cm). Hand baste the opening closed with raw edges to the inside of the pillow. Machine stitch the opening closed and voilà! A "new" cushion for your papasan that cost you little or nothing in "out of pocket" expense! You can make a slipcover out of heavy cloth for easy cleaning. You may or may not choose to use buttons on each side of the cushion as you tie off, but using buttons helps prevent the cover from tearing. These covers attract dust very quickly, so take caution if you have allergies. Do not use feather-stuffed pillows: when you cut these open, instead of getting a lump of cushion material you can cut diagonally, you get a large cloud of downy feathers! Scissors and needles are sharp. Handle them with care.
