Spring is here and summer is right around the corner. Time to break out the patio furniture and get ready for a spring and summer of relaxation and entertaining in your backyard oasis. Luckily you packed away your patio furniture carefully so that nothing would get damaged.
Problem is, your outdoor furniture cushions didn’t make it through the damp and cold months very well.
Lots of older outdoor furniture cushions are made of foam. The problem with foam is that it retains moisture, loses its shape, as well as absorb odors and mold. Not what you want out of your furniture cushions. So while your deck furniture is still looking good and the colors are still sharp, your cushions aren’t really that appealing.
Who wants to sit on a moldy and smelly cushion?
Well luckily a lot of advances have been made in furniture cushions. These days you have the option polyester-filled cushions. Polyester is one of the most versatile and durable materials used for such types of furniture accessories. This material has been shown to be more durable, resistant to moisture, much more comfortable and most importantly – cushions made from polyester won’t mold or retain moisture.
Walk into any home store and you will see a complete range of outdoor furniture cushions available for purchase.
It used to be that if you didn’t like your cushions or had even lost or damaged a cushion, your only choice was to replace your entire patio furniture set. This is no longer the case. Now you can simply buy new cushions. In fact you can even order and design custom cushions for your outdoor furniture.
You can specify everything from the shape, the density, size, and cushion cover designs. You may be able to order custom cushions directly from your outdoor store but another good resource is the Internet.
A quick search will point you to a range of companies who can provide you with templates, custom-order forms, and lots of photos of previously designed cushions.
When choosing your new outdoor furniture cushions remember to pay attention to a few keys aspects: filler material, how the cushions will be used, will the cushions get wet, and how the cushions will be stored during the winter months.
Once you have this information sorted out, you can quickly and easily find yourself some new outdoor furniture cushions.
