Padding protective arrangement for furniture

Abstract

A padding protective arrangement for furniture includes an elastic connective member and a plurality of cushioning pads. The elastic connective member has first and second end connecting portions, and a connector provided on the first end connecting portions. Each of the cushioning pads has a thickness larger than that of the elastic connective member, and a through mounting slot formed on the cushioning pad, wherein the elastic connective member is arranged to penetrate the cushioning pads at the respective mounting slot in such a manner that the first and the second end connecting portions are detachably connecting with each other by the connector to define a cushioning loop within the elastic connective member and the cushioning pads, wherein the cushioning loop is arranged to fittedly encircle a rim portion of the furniture for providing a cushion effect to absorb shock when a user accidentally hits the rim of the furniture.
