Creating a stylish space with comfortable furniture means making the effort to choose the very best pieces for the job. Whether you’re working on a patio set, chaise lounge or hallway bench, there are a few key features you should look for in a good set of deep seat cushions.
When you invest in a set of custom deep seat outdoor cushions, they should be made to last. Even with heavy regular use, a good cushion made with outdoor performance fabrics stays functional and beautiful for a long time. Strong, synthetic materials resist all kinds of wear and tear, whether it’s inside the house or out on the front porch. This means less worrying about kids and pets climbing onto the furniture, too.
Another extremely important feature for any outdoor deep seat cushion is the ability to resist stains. Cushions should be made with high-performance materials like vinyl or solution-dyed acrylic fabric, which can’t be penetrated and discolored by things like dirt or food spills. It’s also helpful for cushion fabrics to be treated with specialized coatings that add extra stain protection.
Stain resistance is important both for outdoor and indoor use. No matter where you’re sitting, your furniture should be able to face everything from grass stains to uncapped markers.
Some materials, like those made from dyed natural fiber, tend to fade more quickly than others. Whether your furniture will be sitting in the backyard sun or next to a bedroom window, it’s important that the seat and back cushions stay vibrant for as long as possible.
Synthetic fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic actually incorporate the color into the material itself, which means it can’t just be bleached out or separated from the fiber. Coatings can also be added to increase resistance to UV rays, further preventing fading or damage from sun exposure.
Easy cleaning is a must, especially for outdoor furniture. When your cushions get splashed with mud, splattered with food or “christened” by the birds, you should be able to wash them without using harsh cleaners or worrying about damage. Custom outdoor cushions made with heavy-duty fabrics can be easily wiped and washed without stressing the materials.

Outdoor performance fabrics are special, heavy-duty materials designed to withstand the elements. They’re usually woven from synthetic fibers with properties that make them naturally resistant to things like moisture, fading, and tearing. Although they’re especially good for outdoor furniture, these comfortable, resilient fabrics are also popular for indoor use.
Because we use quality outdoor fabrics to craft our custom products, they’re very easy to clean and maintain. First, wipe off any spills and brush away any dried debris with a soft-bristled brush. Next, scrub the cushions with a mild solution of soap and water. Rinse thoroughly, then let your cushions dry fully in a clean area before storing or using them again.
Although the fabrics we use are tough, you should never use any harsh cleaners or chemicals on your cushions. It’s also always a good idea to double check the instructions on your cushions’ tags before cleaning, in case the materials require any other special care.
Custom cushion orders are non-refundable and non-returnable, but we always want you to be satisfied. If you experience any problems that fall under a warranty, let us know. We’ll arrange to have it fixed or provide outdoor deep cushion replacements as necessary.
Yes! All of the features that make for good outdoor cushions are also beneficial indoors. If you’re worried about muddy dog paws and toddler spills, cushions made with outdoor performance fabrics easily outperform typical indoor-only materials.
Our deep seat outdoor couch cushions aren’t stiff or uncomfortable like the ones you’ll find on some department store shelves. We always use soft, high-quality fabrics that feel just as supple and comfortable against the skin as natural fibers.
