Outdoor Cushions

About

Your outdoor setting looks a little bare, and the seats are hard to relax on. Last season's outdoor cushions may have faded or gone flat in the sun. Early Settler's outdoor cushions change that. Our collection adds comfort and colour to the deck or a sunny spot by the pool. Each one is easy to sink into and built to live outside. Types of outdoor cushions and where they work Outdoor cushions, also known as outdoor pillows, split into two groups. Decorative cushions add comfort and colour, and seat pads soften a hard chair. The shape you pick depends on where it sits and what it needs to do. Match the shape to the spot before you start layering: Square outdoor cushions, usually 45 by 45 centimetres, are the all-rounder for outdoor sofas , chairs and benches. Rectangular outdoor cushions, around 35 by 55 centimetres, add contrast and double as a back cushion on chairs and lounges. Lumbar outdoor cushions are long and slim, around 70 by 35 centimetres, and work as a bench cushion with lower-back support. Outdoor seat cushions or seat pads are the second type. They sit on the chair base to soften a hard seat, and some are shaped to fit. Our range is in stock and ready to deliver, so you can refresh your outdoor living space before the first warm weekend. Are outdoor cushions waterproof and weather resistant? Most outdoor cushions are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. They handle light rain, splashes and morning dew, but they are not made to sit through steady, heavy rain. A quick shower will not ruin them, though it helps to bring them undercover when the weather turns. Sun is the harder test in Australian conditions, so fabrics with good UV resistance hold their colour for much longer. We select high-performance outdoor fabrics built for our climate, so your cushions handle sun, damp and everyday use season after season. What are outdoor cushions made from? Outdoor cushions are usually made from tough synthetic fabrics like olefin, polyester or acrylic. The fill,
