HOW TO CHOOSE OUTDOOR CUSHIONS
At Cush Living, we believe outdoor living areas should be as luxurious and inviting as your interior space. We strive to help our clients create comfortable living quarters that look amazing and require little maintenance.
Here are a few important things to consider when choosing outdoor cushions:
- FOAM – If your outdoor cushions are going to be directly exposed to sunlight and changing temperature and moisture conditions, it’s best to use foam specifically designed for outdoor use, such as Dri-Fast®, a polyurethane foam that allows moisture to drain through for quick drying. If your seating area is covered, or if your space is protected from the natural elements, our standard foam is a suitable choice. Ask your sales representative about our Bellbloc® fabric liner, that can be used in conjunction with outdoor fabric and can extend the life of your cushions up to 10 years!
- FABRIC – The material you select for your outdoor cushions & pillows is one of the MOST IMPORTANT factors in ensuring long lasting enjoyment. We encourage all of our clients to start with a fabrics made from 100% solution dyed acrylic, which will not only help keep colors looking vibrant, but also keep mold/mildew from engulfing your cushions, which will eventually lead to the erosion of the inner foam. We offer over 1,300 fabrics online, which come with a 3-6 year warranty against fading, mold & mildew. If you don’t see what your looking for online, contact one of our experts today and explore the endless possibilities from premium designers such as Perennials, Schumacher, Missoni, Thibaut and more!
- FREQUENCY OF USE – If your space endures high volume traffic or receives heavy use (e.g., in commercial settings), it’s important to choose fabrics made with high double rubs. At minimum, we recommend 30,000 double rubs for any seating that is used regularly, to avoid rips or tears over time. Talk to your sales rep and explain the use of your space to ensure the correct recommendations are made.
Our expert team will work closely with you to choose the best materials for your project, based on your goals and design preferences.

Outdoor cushions should be filled with a material that is made to weather the elements. One of the most popular options is Dri-Fast®, a polyurethane foam designed for outdoor use.
Cushion filler material comes in a variety of densities, from soft to very firm. Our team will work with you to determine the best filler option for your situation and preferences.
For outdoor cushions, choose a cover material specifically designed to withstand exposure to the elements and resist fading, mold, and mildew.
Sunbrella® is an excellent choice. The company offers hundreds of different fabric designs, and their products are durable and long-lasting. We also work with other top-quality brands, including Perennials®, Schumacher, Thibaut, and Maria Flora.

Turnaround times for smaller residential projects are approximately 6-8 weeks depending on the fabric availability. For example, recovering a set of 4-6 chairs for a backyard dining table might take 4 weeks. Larger commercial projects (for a hotel or restaurant, for example) may take anywhere from 12-16 weeks.
We also specialize in high-volume contract cutting and sewing for a range of textile-related products. Call us to inquire about project timelines.
Water-resistant material is tightly woven, making it hard for water to get through; but some moisture can still penetrate the surface.
Waterproof material, on the other hand, provides a complete barrier to water. If you live in a damp region or an area that gets a lot of rain, waterproof fabric is the best choice.
Outdoor fabrics are almost always specially treated to resist water, UV rays, mold, and mildew. This doesn’t make the fabrics indestructible, but there are things you can do to extend the life of your new cushions.
In the warmer months, consider installing a sunshade over a seating area to protect your cushions from UV rays and fading. Store your cushions when not in use to protect them from the damaging effects of the sun.
Also store your cushions in the winter when not in use to protect them from wind, rain, snow, and ice. If your cushions get wet, shake them out as soon as possible and let them dry completely.
Cleaning outdoor cushions is easy. First, remove any surface debris. Next, wash with mild soap and water and allow the cushions to dry completely.
