Elizabeth had a question for us:
As our daughter becomes more mobile we would like to be able to spend floor time with her, but we would love to do it without being totally uncomfortable. I would love any recommendations for floor cushions that we can use for sitting, lunging, playing, cuddling, reading,etc. I've seen Fat Boy but we prefer something that is cleaner and more organized.
I am racking my brain trying to find a series of stackable cushions I saw previously. They were rectangular and could be stacked or used individually. does anyone out there know what i am talking about?
Thanks Elizabeth.
It's true, as parents, we spend a lot of time on the floor. You might be interested in a post we did on Lunella a while back. These look great, they're lightweight, and stackable.
These Flop Cushions (pictured above) might suit your clean taste more. They fold easily for storage or to lean against the wall. They kind of remind us of the sofa cushions from our college dorm,(well, they're a bit nicer) so maybe you could snag some of those from a flea market or thrift store.
Incase you haven't seen the Fatboy Island , it has a cleaner look than the regular Fatboy.
You might even think about plain floor cushions like the ones from Crate and Barrel. They're only $39.95 and could easily be stacked in a corner or under a sofa or coffee table. Pier 1 and Urban Outfitters also have a selection of these.
Actually, I have a similar problem...
I am looking for some matress-quilted square cushions covered in satin Asian fabrics for my daughter's room. I saw them in a UK design magazine several years ago, and have been hunting ever since (lost the original picture, so just have memory to serve me). They looked like little square mattresses made out of shiny embroidered satins (mostly pinks and reds).
Anybody seen anything like it anywhere?

Monika,
These are the right shape and color, but I think the feathery cording is a bit much:

These are not box cushions, but are tufted and have more sophistication:

If you live near a city with a little India neighborhood, you could probably find exactly what you're looking for. Maybe check an import shop?

Try PBTeen, too...

We've been puzzling over the same question. Urban Outfitters has some floor cushions, and we've considered getting just the cushion for an outdoor ottoman from Restoration Hardware (nice color selection but they're more expensive).

Thanks Avimom! Those are both along the lines of what I am looking for... Here in Geneva unfortunately there really aren't things like a China Town or Little India (are you in Toronto?)... I actually saw a mattres-tufted pillow in old Geneva the other day though, but it didn't have the Asian fabric, just beige linen...
