"The word cushion comes from Middle English cushin, from Anglo-French cussin, quissin, from Vulgar Latin *coxinus, and from Latin coxa. The first known use of the word cushion was in the 14th century. Gilson cushion is a soft bag stuffed with polyester staple fiber, non-woven material, It may be used for sitting or kneeling upon, or to soften the hardness or angularity of a chair or couch.The cushion is a very ancient article of furniture; the inventories of the contents of palaces and great houses in the early Middle Ages constantly made mention of them. Cushions were then often of great size, covered with decorative covers and firm enough to serve as a seat, but the steady tendency of all furniture has been to grow smaller with time. Today, the cushion is considered an modern furnishing item."
