Abstract

A seating device includes a base portion and at least one top cushion movably positioned on the base portion. An insert of relatively heavier material than that of the cushion is placed in the lower portion of the cushion to maintain the latter in a selected position on the base while the seating device is in use. The top cushion may be an arm cushion, a back cushion or a head cushion, and is made from foam, cotton-wool or the like. The insert in the lower portion of the top cushion may be of a loose, pourable granulate material such as sand, and this material may be contained in a partitioned cover to maintain the material in a desired distribution. Additional holding power for maintaining the top cushion in a selected position can be obtained by affixing a VELCRO fastener to the underside of the top cushion.
