I was always told me they were 'time out' rooms - which is kind of ironic, with as much fun I had in them.

A padded cell is a cell in a mental hospital with cushions lining the walls; this is done for the patients who want to commit suicide. The pads prevent the patients from hurting themselves by hitting their heads on the hard cement walls.

A padded cell is sometimes colloquially known as a 'rubber room'.


Sometimes they are Sensory deprivation chambers' or 'Isolation tanks'

Reminds me of story....

I was in college when my grandmother had passed on and the funeral director had come to my parent's house to help my mother arrange the funeral. They were looking through the coffin catalog and my mom asked me if I thought the one she had picked out was suitable. It was a light blue steel coffin with the padding and a beautiful sunrise print on the underside of the lid. Being the tactful lad that I still am to this day I asked if there was going to be a light in the coffin. She ended up picking a different one. I got very black looks from the salesman.
