Are All Outdoor Furniture Cushions Waterproof?

Outdoor furniture cushions are the perfect way to add comfort, style and color to any patio, deck or outdoor seating arrangement. But are all outdoor furniture cushions waterproof? The answer is both yes and no.

The short answer is that not all outdoor furniture cushions are waterproof. In general, however, most outdoor cushions made out of synthetic materials such as Sunbrella® fabric or polyester will be waterproof.

These fabrics are treated with a durable water repellent finish that resists water and fading from the sun.

On the other hand, outdoor cushions made from natural materials such as cotton or leather may not be waterproof. While they will still provide comfort and style to your space, they may not hold up as well against inclement weather conditions. If you plan to leave your outdoor furniture cushions outside for long periods of time in wet weather, it’s best to invest in a cushion made from a synthetic material that is designed for use in wet conditions.

Conclusion: In conclusion, not all outdoor furniture cushions are waterproof but most synthetic materials such as Sunbrella® fabric or polyester will provide protection against water and fading from the sun.
