Outdoor Cushions Durability: Yes, outdoor cushions are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, while they are built to endure outdoor stressors, we advise against leaving them exposed all year round. When not in use, it's best to cover or store them to maintain their quality and extend their lifespan.
Impact of Rain: Leaving outdoor cushions exposed to rain can result in water absorption, leading to sogginess. This moisture creates an environment conducive to mold and mildew growth, potentially damaging the cushion material and reducing its longevity.
Water-Resistance Quality: While many outdoor cushion brands claim water resistance, the quality varies among manufacturers. Poor-quality outdoor cushions may retain water in their foam filling, leading to prolonged drying times and potential mold issues. Opt for reputable brands known for their water-resistant materials.
We make custom cushions and covers for settings of all kinds — Benches, Caravans, Windows Seats, Sofas and many more!
Securing Cushions: Use hook-and-loop tape, such as Velcro, to secure cushions and pillows to the base of outdoor seating. This prevents them from shifting or blowing away in windy conditions, providing added convenience and stability.
Maintenance Tips: After washing your outdoor cushions at the beginning of each season, apply water sealer and/or fabric protector to enhance their durability and weather resistance. Keeping them dry and properly maintained ensures they remain in optimal condition for outdoor use.
Proper Storage Advice: To maintain the longevity of your outdoor cushions, store them correctly indoors in a breathable outdoor cushion bag when not in use. While our cushions are waterproof and can withstand summer conditions, it's advisable to prevent prolonged exposure to the elements by storing them appropriately.
Summer-Proof Design: Our cushions are designed to withstand summer conditions, featuring breathable vents for quicker drying after exposure to moisture. While they can endure occasional summer downpours, storing them away when not in use helps preserve their pristine appearance.
Additional Protection: For added protection against sun and water damage, consider using Scotchguard Sun and Water Shield on your outdoor cushions, pillows, and umbrellas. This spray provides odor-free, water-repellent, and fade-resistant properties to enhance the durability of your outdoor furnishings.
Preventing Mold and Mildew: To prevent mold and mildew growth on outdoor furnishings, ensure they are completely dry after rains or cleaning before storing them away. Opt for mold-resistant fabrics like acrylic and olefin for cushions and umbrellas to minimize the risk of fungal growth.
Quality Materials Matter: The materials used in outdoor cushions vary significantly, with cheap covers lacking water-resistant properties and prone to mold, mildew, and color fading. Invest in high-quality, mold-resistant fabrics to ensure your outdoor cushions maintain their appearance and durability over multiple seasons.
Extreme Weather Precautions: While our cushions can withstand light drizzles, it's advisable to bring them indoors during extreme weather or heavy rain to prevent damage. Similarly, storing your outdoor furniture during inclement weather helps prolong its lifespan and maintains its quality for years to come.
Most other companies import their products from outside of the UK, which is the reason they cannot make custom sizes and only offer a few colour options.Most are imported from China and are poorly made. Our cushions are manufactured right herein the UK, with much higher quality filling and materials.We stand by our products as being the best on the market.
