Outdoor Cushions

Outdoor cushions are the essential comfort layer that transforms rigid patio furniture frames into genuinely comfortable seating. These specialized soft furnishings must balance plush comfort with extreme durability, featuring cores that dry quickly after rain, fabrics that resist UV fading and mildew, and construction that maintains its shape through years of outdoor exposure. The difference between indoor and outdoor cushions lies entirely in their engineered materials, not their comfort level. The outdoor cushion market has matured dramatically, now offering the same diversity of colors, patterns, and textures found in indoor upholstery. Solution-dyed acrylic fabrics from brands like Sunbrella maintain their vibrant colors for years because the pigment is embedded in the fiber itself rather than applied to the surface. Beneath the cover, reticulated or open-cell foam cores allow water to flow through rather than being absorbed, while some premium options use marine-grade closed-cell foam wrapped in polyester fiberfill for a plush feel that still sheds moisture efficiently.
