Outdoor chair cushions transform patio furniture into stylish yet comfortable home decor pieces, while also helping keep you healthy by reducing mold and mildew growth caused by organic substances such as dirt and pollen.
Our patio chair seat cushions come in both All-Weather Spun Polyester (SP) fabric for our base price option and premium Sunbrella and Outdura solution-dyed acrylic fabrics for increased price options. Fabric selection will change the cost of each cushion set.
Cushions for a variety of chair styles
Replacing chair cushions is an inexpensive and simple way to upgrade the comfort and style of patio furniture or older sets that could use some updating, providing comfort while increasing style. To ensure that you purchase the appropriate size replacement outdoor cushions, watch our video or read our Measuring Guide so you can accurately measure each lounge chair for proper fit – if using different fabric than existing cushions add an inch or two on either side for seam allowances.
Our lounge chair seat and back cushions feature water-repellent polyester fabric treated with UV protectors to keep them looking their best, filled with layers of high resiliency foam and fiber to provide a supportive yet comfortable seating solution for long days of lounging in the sun.
This seat cushion features an outer one-inch polyester Dacron wrap layer bonded to an inner solid urethane foam core for added durability. Additionally, this foam core helps support deep seating furniture by limiting wrinkles while offering support and providing support. Furthermore, its cover can easily be removed via zipper for machine washing and removal via zipper is easy.
Sunbrella acrylic fabrics provide fade-resistant outdoor cushion covers to complement your patio furniture, including solution dyed designs such as Rave Cherry with Tortoise Wicker for a lush aesthetic and Rave Kiwi with Mojave Wicker for an earthy atmosphere.
As part of your furniture makeover, consider selecting a back cushion with either tufts or buttons for maximum impact. Tufting connects the front and back panels for an eye-catching textured aesthetic while buttons add classic beauty. Both styles are durable enough for outdoor use but if you prefer an easier solution for washing replacement cushions – try selecting “No Tufts or Buttons With Zippered Removable Cover”.
Our chair back cushions come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different styles of lounge chairs on your porch or deck. If desired, custom-sized designs can even be ordered to perfectly complement your own lounge chair style.
Cushions for comfort
Seat cushions of patio furniture add an element of comfort when sitting or lounging, and your choice of fabric, welting, and filling can change its overall appearance. Many chair cushion sets include an inner foam pad for support as well as polyester Dacron wrap to prevent wrinkles; upgrade to premium Sunbrella or Outdura fabrics for extra durability and protection from UV rays from the sun.
Foam and gel-infused seat cushions offer the optimal combination of softness and support when it comes to sitting, alleviating stress on tailbone, lower back, hips and neck areas by evenly dispersing weight across seating area. Such cushions are especially helpful in long periods of sitting as they reduce back pain and spine issues.
Foam and gel-infused cushion cores come in various thicknesses to meet different preferences. Low-density memory foam quickly deforms over time while higher density options maintain their firmness for an ideal experience.
Select seat cushion fabric that complements your existing furniture, such as Rave Kiwi for outdoor chairs in Tortoise wicker or Rave Cherry to bring vibrancy into the room. Or go with solid-color fabrics for a modern and minimalist aesthetic.
Choose a chair with flat front corners for a cleaner appearance or round back corners to fit the traditional round design of most chair styles. Furthermore, customize its height by adding half-inch or full-inch extra padding for additional comfort.
Your seat and back cushions’ welting can range from plain to enhanced with sewn circles, squares, diamonds or tufts – creating unique aesthetics with its combination of sewn circles pinching together front and back of cushion with sewn circles creating depth to it; button tufting offers similar aesthetic without creating as textured appearance but leaves cushion with more consistent thickness; you could even opt for no welting altogether for an authentic traditional look!
Cushions for style
When purchasing patio furniture, people tend to focus on frame materials and sizes; however, another vital aspect that contributes to its comfort can often be overlooked: chair cushions can play an instrumental role in providing adequate outdoor seating comfort – it is therefore vitally important that when buying chair cushions both their thickness and style be considered carefully.
DIY chair cushions can be created in various ways and fabrics, giving you the power to customize the look of your patio seating. For instance, adding buttons and welts may give it an attractive aesthetic; if you own a sewing machine this project should be straightforward. Canvas or Sunbrella fabric would be an excellent choice to withstand repeated use as well as the elements.
Selecting the suitable filling material for chair cushions can be a difficult decision. When considering foam as filling material, it is important to decide if you want reversibility as well as what kind of support is desired. Foam cushions offer support while remaining firm but breathable – providing optimal conditions for staying cool in addition to providing support.
Foam cushions are waterproof, making them great for use outdoors or areas with frequent rain. When not in use, stand your foam cushions on their ends so the core water drains through to speed the drying process and reduce your risk.
Frontgate provides an expansive selection of premium outdoor cushions in various styles and sizes to make finding the ideal cushion for your patio chair easier than ever. Crafted to stand up against wear-and-tear for years with solution-dyed fabric resistant to fading and weathering as well as high-resilience foam that maintains its shape with use, Frontgate cushions can easily be cleaned using natural soap and water spot cleaning methods for quick cleanup!
Cushions for durability
Replace old patio furniture cushions to give it a facelift! Choose new fabrics and thicknesses to meet your individual needs and preferences, while replacement cushion covers protect seats from dust, dirt and grime that accumulates over time.
Foam cushion fillings are popular choices because of its long-term support and rigidity, but must also withstand outdoor conditions like rain, sun and snow. Foam that does not hold up well against humidity quickly deteriorates quickly and may no longer provide comfortable seating experiences.
Foam used in outdoor chair cushions should be made of polyurethane or latex to withstand weather elements and be coated with an acrylic fabric that resists moisture and mildew for increased longevity. Furthermore, outdoor cushions may need to be protected by waterproof membranes or treated with waterproof sealants that help increase its lifespan and ensure its longevity.
Outdoor acrylic fabrics come in various colors and styles, so you can easily customize their appearance to match the decor of any outdoor area. Some fade-resistant varieties also come equipped with tie or velcro straps for cushion attachment, as well as unzippers to easily unzip for cleaning purposes.
If you plan on making your own outdoor chair cushions, investing in some fabric scissors designed for smooth cuts and precision is highly recommended. A sewing pin will also come in handy to hold pieces together. Once the pattern is traced on the fabric backside, add another concentric circle approximately half an inch all around it to form a seam allowance and ensure proper stitching of seam allowance. This way, when stitching, each thread will line up correctly when stitched by machine or hand stitcher. Choose a zipper suitable for use with your cushion material. Water-resistant zippers may be more appropriate, while others can be coated with waterproof spray to make them watertight. If using non-waterproof zippers, polyester batting should be wrapped around their edges to prevent water absorption; with Dry Fast foam this may not be necessary as its porous open cell design allows water vaporization quickly.
