Very comfortable and sturdy. I have a papasan chair in my office that I love to sit and read in. I had to replace my old cushion after years and years of use had left it flat as a pancake and uncomfortable to curl up in. This cushion is beautiful! I ordered it in white and I was concerned about staining but even after months of use, frequent snacking, and becoming the favorite napping spot of our kitties, it looks pristine. It has also held its form very well, no sign of pancaking yet! In fact, it's so comfortable that I actually used the cushion as a makeshift bed for my 2 year old niece when she needed a nap while at my house--just took the cushion out of the chair, laid it flat on the floor, and tucked her in with a blanket.  Definitely worth the purchase if you're looking to replace an old cushion in your papasan chair.
