| Thai Triangle Cushions For Lounging, Reading, and Meditation |
| Home Accents |
| Traditionally, life in a Thai house was lived on the floor. Raised seating was reserved for royalty and monks. To make life on the floor more comfortable, the Thais ingeniously invented a seat that is functionally perfect while aesthetically pleasing — the triangular cushion, or maun kwan. Today this cushion is used both on the floor and in bed. Typically, the triangular cushion is positioned at the side as a support to the arm. It can also be positioned behind as a back or head rest. Seating pads are attached to the triangular cushions to prevent the cushion from sliding and also to insulate against hard cold floors. The three-fold format (triangle attached to a three- section seating pad) can be stacked to build an extra tall triangle, or folded for a double-thickness seat, or fully opened as a bed (or exotic chaise lounge). See photos of configuration options below. Each cushion is densely packed with kapok, a clean and safe cotton-like fiber. The cushions are very firm. The seat cushions are 3" thick. Triangle itself is approximately 12" tall, 20" wide. Length varies depending on the fold configuration: each of the three seat cushion sections is 17.5" long, and the triangle is 13" long. Available in two fabrics: Burgundy/Orange/Gold (SS01) and Black/Red/White with Elephants (SS03). |
