Kitchen chair cushions--the wood part?

Question

I'm trying to figure out something but I have no idea how to key-word it for Google...and when I try it thinks I mean something else.

Okay, I have four kitchen chairs with NO bench, no wood...as in if I sat down on these chairs I would go right through it and get stuck. So, how can I remedy this? What could I use to set here so that THEN maybe I can make cushions. When I google this all I get is "how to make your own cushions" but right now I need a foundation for the cushions and I have no idea what I might could use to make the base I need. I know it needs to be hard...would plywood not be durable enough for people to sit on?

Answer 1

1/2" plywood is a more than suitable base for your cushions.  If you want to make them extra heavy duty, you can use 5/8".  Good luck.

Answer 2

Plywood should work fine. As far as covering then...very simple...you just need a piece of foam, material and a staple gun to cover the plywood.
