Here are some ideas on where you can purchase your next papasan chair cushion.
Buy Used Papasan Cushions on Craigslist
I'm a huge fan of bargain shopping and love getting almost brand new stuff on craigslist.org. Because papasan chairs are and were so popular there are a lot of used ones out there. When my husband and I relocated to Austin, the first place I went to get furniture was craigslist. I was specifically looking for a papasan chair and found four postings in my first search. Many times craigslist posters will include a picture and description so you can see the item before you buy. When dealing with craigslist it's always a good idea to ask how old the item is, the current condition, if there are any problems that need to be disclosed, the price, and of course to meet in a public place to handle any transactions.

If you would like to make your own cushion, then read detailed instructions on making a papasan cushion cover with items you probably already have in your house. Making a cushion is not very hard and it can help you save some money.
An Outdoor Papasan Cushion
Outdoor papasans are usually made from either plastic that has been molded to look like rattan or rattan that has been treated and sealed so that it can withstand temperature extremes as well as wet conditions. Of course, the cushions are now available in weather-resistant material as well. These cushions are designed to withstand some of the hottest, wettest weather around. If you've been looking for something a little different to add to your outdoor area, then the papasan may be for you.
The only real drawback to most papasans is the filling that's used in the cushions. Unlike most outdoor cushions which are filled with a solid foam, papasan cushions are still filled with shredded fibers. So over time you may notice that the cushion has become compressed - but don't worry, a quick fluffing will restore the cushion to its original appearance. Before you select a papasan cushion, make sure you compare not just the prices but the material used to fill the cushions as well - a high quality filler will last longer between fluffs.
