      My brain is frazzled, I'm going to the pub, when I get back I would love it if one of you unbelievably kind gentlemen could tell me the best way of modelling this seat cushion(s) for this chair: http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture_item_zoom.php?id=553040&view=1

      I know it's pretty elementary stuff but I'm not that experienced with these sort of shapes.

      Any help, really, really appreciated. Thanks!

        Since no one else has replied, I gave it a quick go. Does this work for you?

        I just drew a square and extruded it up to the thickness of the seat. Then I drew a curve (I used a Bezier curve) on the edge and Follow Me to create the top curve. I put a small radius on the bottom edges though it doesn't really show.

        This is with all the softened edges exposed.

          Thanks Dave, really appreciate it. Sometimes I get these bloackages that are only awoken by beer. I've not just got back in from the pub though! Thanks again.
