What is a Papasan Cradle?
Papasan furniture is meant to be both relaxing and stylish. Traditionally, it is a large wicker chair with a circular base and a plush pillow-like cover over it. The padding is thick, providing an extremely comfortable place to rest. Papasan furniture includes chairs, gliders, ottomans, loveseats, and, most recently, cradles. A papasan cradle is a baby swing. It usually can swing both back and forth and left and right. Many have many different speeds and play soothing songs. Some also vibrate in a soothing way. Most have brightly colored objects that spin slowly in circles, entertaining the infant as he or she sits in the chair.
