Why do they make seat cushions like this? (sofas, furniture, pillow)

It's so bumpy. I bought one like this because it's the only one I could find. Maybe it gives you better traction?

A lot of people must like this type of seat. Expensive sofas etc. have bumpy seats like this. Also the backs.

The buttons and the tufting hold the stuffing in place so it doesn't lump up all at one end.

You should spend more time learning about the world around you.

It looks bumpy, but hardly ever *feels* bumpy when you sit on it.

Cushions like those tend to be firmer, not mushy, and the extra structure probably lengthens their useful life. The shape also allows a little more ventilation between the sitter and the seat. Nicer in hot weather.

OP tends to start "out there" posts. If you don't want to buy something - Don't!! There are many, many cushions available.

I think they also hold up better over time in terms of bootie support, whereas one giant cushion sags in the middle.

Unless the cushions are old and worn out or just very cheaply made you shouldn't 'feel' the tufts, no more than you 'feel' the tread patterns on the bottoms of your shoes.

I have a sofa like the one in the linked picture. It's called a Chesterfield and it's very comfortable. Our accent pillows are not button tufted. I find them overstuffed and in the way. They get tossed on one of the chairs.
