That is why it needs paddings or cushions in order to be enjoyed right, and that is a great designing advantage. You can use different colors for the paddings, and also use as many of them as you like. One great idea is having different paddings and cushions for every season like white for winter, green for spring, yellow for summer and brown for autumn.
