Patio Cushion Fabrics

After picking the right cushion style, it’s time to consider your cushion fabric options. Each of our patio cushions is UV-treated for enhanced fade resistance, and the filling is composed of everLUXE® polyester, which helps them keep their shape and stand up to the elements.

Here are some of the materials available:

  • Acrylic: Fade-resistant fabric durable enough for outdoor use. Bleach-friendly, easy-care, and soft to the touch.
  • Prints: Durable and water-repellent polyester fabric that is easy to clean.
  • Solid Weave: Easy-clean and exceptionally durable Olefin fabric. Dries twice as fast as printed cushions.

Pro Tip

To clean your cushions, mix 1 gallon of water with 2 capfuls of dish soap. Apply with a sponge, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry.
