When you've put a lot of money into your home furnishings, it can be really hard to say goodbye. This is particularly true out on the patio, where you may have only been using your furniture seasonally instead of year round. As such, you think there's more useful life left to your cushions than there really is.

Thankfully, replacement patio furniture cushions are easy to get and knowing when it's time to order replacement patio furniture cushions can keep your outdoor spaces inviting and welcoming for years to come.

First, look at your existing cushions. If they don't spring back or look flat, it could be time to replace them. Even the best patio furniture cushions last only 7 to 10 years. The elements can really wear them down, even if you take good care of them. If they look flat or the edges are round when they should be square, it's time to get replacement patio furniture cushions.

If you take good care of your cushions, clean them regularly and store them inside in the off season, keeping them out of the elements, then they should remain mold and mildew free. If mold and mildew creeps in somehow, give them a thorough cleaning. If it's still a problem, especially in the padding, it may be time to get rid of the cushions. Just be sure the new cushions are mold and mildew resistant. Some bargain replacement patio furniture cushions won't be.

Your cushions could look just fine but they may have become a dumping ground for allergens, from pet dander to fungal spores, soil and dust. Some flame retardants can also trigger allergic reactions, especially in older foam products that used PBDEs. If your furniture was purchased before 2006 and someone in your family is having allergic reactions, you may want to get replacement patio furniture cushions.

Over the years, your cushions may show signs of natural wear and tear. Even the highest quality cushions will eventually hold onto stains no matter what you do and begin to show signs of the fabric wearing through, becoming thin or unraveling. If this is the case, you don't have many options expect to replace the cushions as the fabric has outlived its life expectancy.

Often, your cushions may just need to be replaced because you want a new look. As you know, patio furniture can be a sizable investment. Instead of replacing the furnishings themselves, you can order replacement patio furniture cushions to give your patio, deck or balcony an entirely new look.

Many retailers, especially those online, allow you to choose from a wide range of fabrics and colors, even patterns when ordering replacement patio furniture cushions. In some cases you can even order custom replacement cushions, especially if your particular furnishings appear to have odd measurements or shapes. That said, you may be surprised to find a wide variety of choices out in the market already, if not at your nearby store then online, where selection is wide and year round.

Replacement patio furniture cushions may be just what you needed to give a tired looking outdoor space a lively new look that will reconnect with the great outdoors and your patio furniture in the process.

Just be sure that when you shop for replacement patio furniture cushions you make sure they are of good quality. Don't be tempted to buy cushions that have foam padding inside or are made of a fabric that either won't last or won't keep the water out. Nothing puts a damper on a party outdoors than sopping wet cushions. Invest in the best cushions you can afford and make sure they are water and stain resistant.
