Patio Furniture Outdoor Cushions

Whether it’s a quiet early morning cup of coffee, catching some sun during the day by the pool, or unwinding on a cool summer evening, patio furniture can provide some of the most enjoyable and relaxing moments during warmer months. Not all patio furniture is created equal though, and a rigid surface covered with thin, low-quality or old furniture foam can send you back inside on even the nicest day.

Outdoor foam, with a quick-drying cellular structure is perfect for a patio furniture cushion. Water drains out of these porous forms and air passes through and dries them. When covered with the right aerating material, like Phifertex or Sunbrella Cushions, they can be left outside, with the only upkeep needed being an occasional rinse with a hose. If you want to enjoy your time outdoors, picking your patio furniture with the same standards you would living room furniture is important.

When we sit on a couch in our living room, we notice the comfort because we’re only doing one or two things. In the patio or backyard, we’re grilling, watching the kids, tossing the ball and getting in and out of the pool. When we get the chance to take a breath and sit down for the sake of sitting down is when we notice the comfort. Choosing high quality padding materials that are durable against both use and the elements is what will make the difference between that moment being relaxing or a disappointment.
