Tips for Buying Replacement Cushions for Lawn Furniture
The most important thing to do when buying replacement cushions for outdoor furniture is to get ones that are specifically made for outdoor use. Having cushions made out of an outdoor fabric like Sunbrella will ensure that your cushions don't fade or break down for a significant period of time. Sunbrella is made to withstand the elements and is fade, moisture, and UV-resistant. In addition:
- Test out the cushions and make sure they're comfortable. Long nights spent dining al fresco become less pleasurable when you're sitting in an uncomfortable chair. Make sure the cushions you choose are comfortable and offer the proper support so you and your guests can stay out in the nice weather as long as possible.
- Try to get pillows that have Velcro or string ties to attach them to the chairs or benches. This will make sure that the pillows stay in place when you sit down, but it also makes it easier to remove and clean them when necessary.
- Check the manufacturer's warranty. While many of us only think about warranties for items like electronics and appliances, it's important to check them out for other items as well. Outdoor pillows should have at least a one-year warranty (hopefully longer). It's a good indicator that the manufacturer has faith in the product.
- Don't forget to think about color and style. The cushions you choose should complement the décor and either blend in or stand out depending on your personal style. Consider the other colors you have in your outdoor space. What colors do you have in the garden? What color is the house or other structure they'll be near? All the colors should work together to create a pretty and stylish outdoor space.
Quality First
When buying replacement cushions for lawn chairs, you don't need to buy the most expensive ones on the market, but try not to get the cheapest either. Like anything else, always weigh the quality versus the cost. A cheap cushion will likely break down faster than one of a better quality. Remember this before you buy and try to find something that will last for many seasons to come.
