Poshti (furniture)

Poshti is a backrest cushion upholstered with rug fragments. It is a traditional piece of furniture and part of the Iranian culture. Similar in appearance to a pillow but sturdier in material, poshti can have a square or rectangular shape. It is most commonly a one-piece item placed against the wall, but can come in two identical pieces as well, with one item placed on the floor as a mattress.
