For your outdoor space, deck, or screened-in porch to be peaceful and comfortable, high-quality patio cushions are a must. We’ll walk you through choosing the appropriate size and kind, as well as how to take care of them to extend their lifespan.
Selecting the Correct Size
If your current patio cushions or covers are faded or worn out, or if you need a new style custom outdoor cushions or colour, you must first measure.
- Take an arm-to-arm measurement of the breadth of your patio furniture.
- Next, measure the seat’s depth from front to back.
- Lastly, measure the distance in height between the top of the backrest and the bottom of the seat top.
Cushions in One Piece
To get the overall length, add one inch for a good fit and mix the backrest height and seat depth.
Two-Piece Cushions
Measure the seat’s depth and width before purchasing a seat cushion. Measure the width and back height of the seat.

Additional Things to Think About
Remember to add toss pillows, lumbar pillows, and bolsters once you buy the appropriate patio cushions for your furniture. These little decorative throws are the ideal complement to give your porch, deck, or patio some colour, pattern, and texture.
Design and elements
When the seasons shift and people start spending more time outside, you’ll want to make sure your outdoor area matches the inside decor of your house in terms of style and comfort. Modern interiors look fantastic with clean lines and inviting neutral colours. Patterns like flowers, stripes, damask, ikat, or animal prints in different tones of blue, green, and red may add a welcoming atmosphere to traditional or transitional settings.
Features
Whatever your design, there are a few things to consider that might prolong the life of your patio cushions.
Water-Resistant
Investing in patio cushions with a water-resistant covering can help keep them safe from the weather.
Fade or UV Sturdy
Patio cushions with fade or UV resistance will last longer and retain their colour, providing years of enjoyment.
Mildew-Resistant
Your replacement or patio cushions’ mildew-resistant fabric keeps them from becoming mouldy, musty, and odorous.
Resistance to stains
Over time, dirt, trash, food particles, paw prints, and fallen leaves accumulate on your outdoor cushions, giving them a worn-out, unclean appearance. Seek out cushions that are easier to clean and resistant to stains.
Reversible
A lot of custom outdoor cushions are only made of ornamental fabric on one side, making it impossible to turn them over. With reversible cushions, you get twice as much use because they have covers on both sides.
Additional Things to Think About
Tufted patio cushions are a good option if you like a more conventional design. Look for patio cushions with ties that will fasten them to your outdoor furniture to keep your cushions in place.
