Waterproof Garden Cushions

The outer fabric is water-repellent and the filling is moisture-resistant, so rain, morning dew and accidental spills run off the surface instead of soaking into the cushion. They are built to be left outside through the day and to handle the showers a normal season throws at them. For maximum lifespan we still recommend storing them under cover or indoors during long periods of heavy rain, winter and frost, which keeps both the colour and the filling in top condition for far longer.

For a single night, or across a fine spell of weather, yes – the fabric handles dew and the occasional shower without trouble. The one habit worth keeping is to bring them in (or stash them in a storage box or under a cover) when persistent rain or storms are forecast. The cushions cope with water, but giving them a chance to dry fully between wettings is what keeps them fresh and extends their life over many seasons.

Most of the time a wipe with a damp cloth is enough. For tougher marks, use lukewarm water with a little mild soap, work gently with a soft brush or sponge, rinse with clean water and let the cushion air-dry completely before storing it. Avoid bleach and aggressive solvents, which can break down the water-repellent coating. Because the fabric does not absorb liquid, even drinks, sauce and sun-cream spills usually lift away without leaving a mark.

The range covers everything from compact chair pads to long bench cushions and generous floor cushions, so you can match the cushion to the furniture you already own rather than the other way round. Measure the seat or pallet you want to cover before ordering, and choose a slightly fuller cushion where you want a softer, more sink-in feel.
