Outdoor Cushions & Pillows
Luxury in your outdoor space is no further away than purchasing cushions and pillows for your outdoor seating. Keep your comfort as the main priority when enjoying your porch, patio, balcony, or any other outdoor space. While you should cover or take in most cushions and pillows in the case of inclement weather, your main concern is simply mitigating how wet they can get when exposed to the elements. In a range of materials, colors, and designs, you can find a perfect fit for your outdoor furniture.
Outdoor Cushions
Our outdoor cushions are so comfortable, they'll transport you to a realm of pure relaxation. Side effects may include losing track of time, increased appreciation for sunshine and an unexplained urge to wear Hawaiian shirts.
What's the Best Way to Choose Outdoor Cushions?
The perfect cushion for the outdoors blends function, style and comfort. Here are four tips for picking pillows to create a cozy, welcoming outdoor haven.
1. Pick Your Color Scheme
Your cushions can tie your outdoor decor together. Whether you prefer a polished look or an eclectic mix, color makes all the difference. A few of your options are:
- Neutrals: Muted tones like beige or tan will whisper rather than shout. These shades complement Mother Nature, letting vivid greens and flower-power hues shine.
- Naturals: Create harmony with a nature-inspired palette. Think earthy browns, forest greens and soft sky blues. These colors can add a sense of tranquility to your outdoor space, encouraging relaxation.
- Bold and bright: Make a statement with pops of yellow, purple, turquoise or red. You can mix vibrant colors with neutrals or monochromatic shades for some contrast.
- Monochrome: Speaking of monochromatic, black, white and shades of gray invoke understated elegance. They stand well on their own or create a base for those bold accent colors.
2. Combine Comfort With Style
The way your outdoor living or dining space feels is as important as how it looks. Think about where you'll use each cushion. While plush and fluffy options will enhance the enjoyment of outdoor sofas, dining chairs might need more support. The ideal cushions have dense filling that keeps their shape even after hours of lounging.
3. Find the Perfect Fabric
Unlike indoor cushions, outdoor pillows must stand up against the elements. Steer clear of fabrics that attract every stray leaf, bird feather and neighborhood cat hair. You want a material that feels soft while acting tough. Popular options include acrylic and polyester. Keep an eye out for UV, water and fade-resistant fabrics.
Easy-care fabrics will save you time, money and the embarrassment of explaining your patio mishaps to a professional cleaner. A top tip is to choose removable covers for simple cleaning.
4. Keep Your Eyes on the Size
Take note of this handy guide for measuring your outdoor furniture for cushions:
- Measure the width: For chairs, measure from the inside of one arm to the other. For armless chairs or benches, measure the full width of the seat.
- Determine the depth: Measure from the front edge of the seat to the back.
- Figure out the seat back height: Start at the top of the seat and measure to the top of the chair's back. Throw in a few extra inches for cushions that wrap over the top of the chair.
- Calculate the thickness: If you have existing cushions that you love, use these as a guide. If not, around 4 inches to 5.5 inches is a comfort sweet spot.
