Wooden chairs - seat pads or not? (Flash)

I would say deffo yes. Numb bums are not good. x

I'm a numb bum sufferer too and would definitely appreciate a seat pad! Because I've got short legs (4ft 11 and a half) and my feet never touch the ground when I sit properly on a chair, the whole weight of my body is on my bum and thighs and it hurts like hell If they are slippy wood, then the pads with ties on may be best as just a pad may keep slipping off as people are shuffling around.

People will be required to sit still for 2 hours right? I don't think you need to take responsibility for the comfort of their posteriors .. Unless you have lots of money to spare .. In which case as a guest I'd expect nothing less than NASA quality memory foam covered in mink.

I would, it's not only numb bums if you have any guest with joint problems it will be really painful.

if I sat on these chairs for two hours I wouldn't be able to walk for the rest of the day.

Maybe you could do every other one and make sure them who needed them got them?

Haha chairs are one of my biggest annoyances over the wedding! I think those chairs look a bit unfinished without seat pads. I'd ask the venue what the deal with them is, and if people usually hire in seat pads (and where from!). You could buy plain cream tie on seat pads (IKEA etc.) and try and sell them to the venue after!

I come with plenty padding on my own on my backside, so would probably be ok, but I know lots would find them uncomfortable.

I could probably just about sit still for two hours but I certainly wouldn't want to be limited to a wooden chair for the whole day and possibly evening though. I would have to get up and walk about a lot or wander off and find a comfy sofa somewhere to recover. I also think that older people with joint problems would find it very uncomfortable too.

Thanks for the opinions! I think seat pads it is...the only ones I found to hire though were a different shape to the chairs so dont think theyd fit... I will ask the venue if they know of any hire places. To me they dont look unfinished, I really like the look of them, and all the wedding photos Ive seen of the place theres never been any seat pads/chair covers on them so its obviously something most people havent thought about (or if they have, ahve decided it doesnt matter), but I guess I dont want my guests to have uncomfy backsides while theyre eating! If I cant find any reasonably priced to hire I might consider purchasing some if they were cheap enough but dont want loads of leftover cushions after the day (dont think the venue would buy them, although I havnt actually asked I just cant see it, if theyve not provided seat cushions for the last 6-7 ish years with no complaints not sure theyd be fussed! but you never know...) I could do the every other chair having one thing but then possibly cue the sad faces of the people who dont get one! maybe a big basket of them somewhere for those who think they'll need one....I'll look into it!

Cheers!

PS only my sweet tushy would get mink covered memory foam!! lol ?
