$125.00 CAD
This luxurious 100% merino wool felt seat pad is handmade by braiding 12 strips together. It is durable, soft to the touch, and provides the right level of comfort to every seat. It is ideal for seats made of wood, plastic, leather or metal, such as a wooden dining chair, leather sofa or leather car seats. Particularly in cold weather, these seat surfaces tend to feel cold and therefore unpleasant, so a chair cushion made from wool felt will provide you with pleasant warmth, while setting great accents to your interior, whether it is your dining room, living room, office, or your car.
The chair cushion is also suitable for use in warm weather, because wool is naturally breathable and its fibers are inherently active fibers, meaning they react to changes in body temperature and moisture vapor. For example, imagine sitting for a few minutes on a plastic, wooden or leather seating surface on a hot summer day. Not surprisingly, you will notice sweat/ moisture forming as well as heat building up between your buttocks and the seating surface. Now compare this with sitting on wool felt: You will notice not only considerably less sweat/ moisture, but also less heat build-up and a cooling effect. This is, because the wool fibers of the felt have a natural ability to regulate moisture and balance temperature. That`s why by the way, sheep feel comfortable with their long, dense layers of hair in all seasons! So, a wool felt seat pad definitely helps you stay warm, when the environment is cold, and definitely feel pleasant, when the environment is hot!
The seat pad comes with an anti-slip underlay. When the pad is used on non-fabric surfaces (such as for example wood, plastic, leather), place the underlay under the pad to reduce shifting and slippage.

We would like to give you some useful tips about how to care for your wool felt products. Wool felt can be:
vacuumed
spot cleaned
dry cleaned. If stains cannot be removed with spot cleaning, you can use a professional dry cleaner, who has experience with wool.
Do NOT machine-wash, put in the dryer, steam clean, or use steam. This might partially shrink and deform the wool felt product.
DUST, CRUMBS, OTHER DRY PARTICLES
Vacuum gently with small soft and clean brush and/or use lint roller or duct tape (a loop around your fingers) and stroke the surface and edges of felt product, until particles are removed.
WATER SPILLS
1. Lay felt product flat on a surface like a kitchen counter or table.
2. Take an absorbent dry cloth and press the affected spot with it a few times by applying some pressure, until the cloth has reabsorbed most of the water from the felt.
3. Leave felt product lying flat and allow it to dry. Done!
OTHER SPILLS, STAINS (e.g. tea, wine, ketchup)
1. Use paper towel to absorb the spilled liquid (or if it`s a thick liquid, scoop it up with a spoon).
2. Wet the stain with lukewarm water under faucet and lightly massage spot with fingertips (don’t rub or scratch) to remove coarse dirt.
3. Lay felt product flat on a surface like a kitchen counter or table. Apply small amount of mild soap (like hand soap, shampoo) to the spot and with fingertips massage the spot until foam starts forming and stain is loosened up.
4. Press the soapy spot a few times with fingertips, so that the water and soap penetrate the felt and start coming through on the other side of the felt. This will further loosen up any stain particles between wool fibers. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
5. Rinse the soapy spot under faucet by repeatedly pressing the felt (where the soapy spot is) with your fingertips until the water runs clear and no soap remains in the felt. (Optional: Alternatively, you can lightly rinse the spot with fingertips under the faucet, then lay the felt product on a flat surface, take a wet small soft sponge, and press the affected spot with the wet sponge repeatedly until the water from the sponge transfers into the felt and comes through on the other side of the felt. Keep making the sponge wet and repeat the step, until the soap is flushed out from the wool fibers of the felt.)
6. Lay felt product flat. Take an absorbent dry cloth and press the spot with it a few times by applying some pressure, until the cloth has reabsorbed most of the water from the felt.
7. Leave felt product lying flat and allow it to dry. Done!
