Enjoy Your Patio with Outdoor Cushions

Whether you enjoy a quiet cup of tea or coffee first thing in the morning, sunning during the day by the pool, or unwinding on a cool summer evening, patio furniture can give you some of your most relaxing and enjoyable moments throughout the day. All patio furniture is not created the same however, and rigid surfaces covered with low-quality materials or worn-out furniture furnishings can force you back inside on even the nicest days due to discomfort.

A material designed to be used outdoors, featuring a self-drying cellular structure, is the perfect material for a patio furniture cushion, and that exists in the form of dry-fast foam. Water drains through the material and air is able to pass through and help dry the cushion. When covered in an aerating fabric such as Phifertex or Sunbrella Cushions, they can be left outside in all conditions, with the only real upkeep being an occasional rinse with a hose. If you want to maximize your outdoor enjoyment, selecting patio furniture that meets the same comfort requirements as your living room furniture is vital.

When we sit on the couch in our living room, the comfort is noticeable because we’re only focused on one or two things, with the primary goal being comfortable relaxation. On the patio or in the yard we’re grilling, keeping an eye on the kids and pets, tossing around the ball and getting in and out of the pool. When we’re finally able to whittle down our responsibilities is when we finally sit down to relax and take note of the chair’s comfort. Selecting high quality padding materials that can hold up to use without being uncomfortable, all while resisting the elements, is what will make that moment a relaxing one instead of a disappointment.
