The traditional papasan chair made of rattan seems to be a staple in many households, even to this day, which is already more than 50 years since the rattan chairs became an international rage in interior design.
Today, there are many new versions of the original papasan that have been invented so you can definitely enjoy the comfort and luxury of these incredible chairs in more ways than one. There are, for instance, the double papasans that are also called mamasan chairs, which can seat two or even more people. There are also much smaller papasan chairs that can be enjoyed by young kids, as well as matching footstools and tables built in a similar design as the original papasan chair.
Of all the different variations of the papasan chair that are in existence today, one of those that stand out the most is the swivel rocker that is made of rattan, just like a real papasan chair. It has a circular base just like a regular papasan chair but the seat frame is quite different.
Instead of the bowl-shaped seat of the typical papasan chair, the swivel rocker has a high back and arm rests just like a regular recliner, if you will, but the entire frame is still made of rattan just like a papasan chair. It also has a thick padding that makes it a really comfortable piece of furniture for sitting, and it can be rotated around the base by means of a special swivel mechanism.
The best-selling varieties of these swivel rattan chairs are those that can also rock back and forth on its base, just like a regular rocking chair. These kinds of chairs are excellent for doing so many things, from watching television to reading a book or even taking a nap. In fact, some people find these swivel rocker papasans so comfortable that they are able to sleep in it for an entire night!
The cushion of the swivel rocker is attached to the chair using nifty ties that are fastened onto the back of the chair to keep it from sliding down. If you buy a new swivel rocker, it’s very likely that there will be a cushion to go along with it but you can also buy the cushion separately if the original one gets worn out.
A swivel rocker papasan would certainly be a valuable addition to your home. In addition to boosting the aesthetic value of your space, it will also give you and your family hours and hours of comfort that you won’t be able to get from any other chair out there.
