Abstract
An article of furniture which has a cover of a flexible material having strength generally only in tension which defines a closed cushion chamber therein filled with ground flakes of expanded plastic material mixed with shredded particles of foam rubber. The cover may be made of an elongate generally rectangular piece of flexible material folded back over itself midway its length with the opposed side edges of the material overlying each other seamed together and the overlying ends of the material attached together so that the opposed side seams overlie each other at the overlying ends to form a chair. The cover may also be made in the form of a generally rectilinear seat cushion with a front edge, a generally parallel rear edge and a pair of end edges connecting the front and rear edges, and an elongate bolster having a length approximately equal to the sum of the lengths of the rear edge and both ends of the seat cushion with the opposite ends of the bolster attached to the seat cushion at the opposite ends of the front edge so that the bolster forms the back and arms of a couch. The disclosure also contemplates the method of manufacture of the furniture.
