I've noticed that in lots of builds, you have to imagine sitting down. I think that a seat/cushion would be really cool, because it would allow you to actually sit down in a car, or in an office, etc. It would be made out of 3 wool, and it could be colored. When you right click it, it sits you down like a minecart. They would be very thin blocks, like pressure plates. Imagine building a wooden couch. It looks cool in your house, but you cant use it. Then imagine your wooden couch with a blue little pad on the top, and you could actually sit in it. Thoughts?
While a "cushion" block like the one proposed would be a more elegant solution than a dedicated chair entity, I can't imagine it would be a very satisfactory one. If these were implemented to be placed like a pressure plate, they wouldn't be able to go on stairs or slabs, the only blocks that people generally employ for ersatz seating. The only seats that could be made are those which are simply single blocks.

Yes, yes I am. A pessimist is always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

That would be ideal, but I doubt Mojang would implement something like that. I'm unsure how they would code it. The only way that comes to mind is to make the cushion check what block was under it, and if it was stairs/slab, it would render itself in a way that made it look like it was on the block. Since two blocks can't share a space, and the unholy number of data values they'd probably have to use for such a thing would be enormous, that would probably be the most elegant solution. I don't have any coding skills, though, so I wouldn't know.
