If you've shopped for patio furniture then you know that there are two types of patio furniture cushions. Those are those that are an integral part of the furniture you've selected, much like the furniture in your home, and then there are cushions that can be purchased after market that can either replace your existing cushions or be added to a piece of furniture that didn't originally have them.
If you're shopping for patio furniture that has cushions, you may want to start your search online. While local home improvement and patio furniture stores may have fewer than a half dozen options to choose from, online stores often have greater selection, not only of styles, but of fabric colors for your patio furniture cushions.
Most of the patio furniture cushions today have an acrylic or acrylic/polyester blend fabric. This allows them to repel water and resist fading under normal use. Cushions can also be covered with a canvas-like material or cloth as well, especially with more expensive pieces of outdoor furniture. The best quality padding is polyester because it dries more quickly if it gets wet.
Thanks to innovative manufacturing techniques, these fabrics won't have that plastic feel of less expensive furniture. The feel is more like spun cotton: soft, smooth and very welcoming.
The nice thing about these types of cushions is that they are easy to maintain. When they start to look a bit dingy, simply hose them off or use a mix of water and mild detergent to remove tougher stains.
If you're looking for furniture with furniture cushions already integrated into their design, the selection is fabulous.
When shopping for furniture with cushions, you may be amazed at the rainbow of colors available these days, particularly online. Many furniture sellers stock a wide range of traditional and fashion colors as well as patterns, so you can create just the look you've been searching for. Many pieces can even be custom manufactured, allowing you to specify the color of the patio furniture cushions as well as the color of the furniture itself.
The thickness of the cushions may also come into play in your decision-making. Some people find it difficult to get out of overly thick patio furniture cushions. You may want to go with something that is of medium thickness so that you can enjoy long hours relaxing and entertaining outside without getting sore. If the patio furniture cushions are too thin, you may find they're not comfortable and that the hard surface of the chair, sofa or loveseat can be felt.
When you're shopping for cushions for existing pieces of furniture, pay close attention to the specifications, including the height, width and depth. You want to make sure they will fit on the piece of furniture. The old rule of "measure twice, order once" is sage advice.
If you have traditional Adirondack furniture, you can even get cushions for them. They come in a variety of fabrics too, from solid colors to stripes and patterns. These patio furniture cushions can give your patio, porch, balcony or garden area an entirely new look. You can mix and match colors or styles, or go with a single selection to tie the entire furniture collection together.
If you're worried about the cost of shipping, don't. Some online furniture stores offer free shipping on your order so you don't have to worry about paying a lot for shipping and handling, especially if you're placing an order for a lot of patio furniture cushions in a customized pattern or color.
One thing's for sure. The right style and color of cushions can really transform your outdoor spaces, creating an oasis of relaxation right in your own back yard.
