Make every chair the best seat in the house.

Hosting family and friends for a special occasion means that we have to ensure we have enough comfortable seats for everyone to sit on. This is where seat pads and chair cushions can really come in handy.

Whether you have an eclectic mix of chairs and stools that could do with some cushioning, or have bench-style seating that isn't always the most pleasant to sit on for long periods of time, we’ve handpicked 15 of the best seat pads and chair cushions to shop right now.

Seat pads are not just for giving dining chairs extra padding either – add one to your work-from-home office chair to make time spent at your desk feel that bit more pleasurable. Chair cushions are also a practical way to add colour, texture and pattern to your interior.

Stripes always look chic in a dining space and we really like the combination of cream and ochre yellow in this set of two cotton chair pads. These are suitable for both indoor and outdoor.

We love the all-over geometric, diamond pattern print that covers this set of two seat pads. It's a great way to introduce both pattern and colour into your space. The ties will keep these seat pads securely fastened to dining chairs.

One trend that we still can't get enough of is the tufted style; perfect for tapping into tactile textures. This seat cushion allows you to achieve a cosy look and feel in your dining space, with quilt knots to keep it in place.

This coral cotton velvet chair pad looks lovely and is perfect for adding comfort to a kitchen or dining room. It looks gorgeously plump and the pads have ties (which are also removable) to secure to a single chair.

If you're on a budget and looking for the most affordable seat cushion out there, let us introduce you to H&M Home's £3.99 round cushions, which are also great quality. Perfect for fans of all things neutral, it's available in grey, beige, greige and white colourways.

We always appreciate a reversible product, as you're essentially getting two different looks for the price of one, and this delightful set gives you the best of both worlds. On one side you'll find an evergreen eucalyptus print, and on the other you have a lovely striped design in accompanying shades of green and yellow.

This charming cushion is quilted to help it hold its shape and features chunky stripes for a striking look. The sweet pastel shades are on-trend, too.

Add some personality to your dining space with these fun and quirky matchbox-style seat pads from Graham & Green. We particularly adore the Palm Springs and Vegas options but if you're someone who loves to adorn their home in decor that reminds them of some of their favourite trips and travels, these could be ideal for you.

This long seat pad is designed for benches and can be used both inside the home and out in the garden, too. It's generously filled for extra comfort, and we think the rich green shade is perfect for adding colour to your home.

For real comfort or anyone who experiences aches or pains from sitting in one position for too long, here's a memory foam seat cushion as an option. Also ideal for taking with you on long car journeys, it's available in navy blue, white, red and black.

Great for indoor and outdoor seating, these seat pads from The White Company are great for dinner parties, garden parties and everything in between. The pure cotton covers are removable, so if you do happen to spill some drinks or get some food on them, you can pop it in the washing machine.

If you have little ones who can struggle to see up onto the dining table, this booster seat cushion is a great idea. The tartan fabric will add a spot of interest to your dining table all year round.

Give existing dining chairs a luxe and opulent update with these velvet seat pads from SO'HOME at La Redoute. The mellow yellow hue won't look out of place in your home, making it ideal for using all year round.

Great for more neutral interiors, this textured seat pad from John Lewis & Partner's ANYDAY range is a great price and fits a variety of different dining chairs. It's also available in different colourways, including blue and grey shades, along with a bright and cheery yellow.

Wooden or plastic dining chairs aren't the most comfortable to sit on at the best of times, so if you're looking for a bit more support when it comes to your back, as well as your bottom, try this padded seat cushion.
