Most outdoor cushions definitely look like ‘outdoor cushions’ – practical, forgettable, vaguely sporting goods-esque. These are different. Water-resistant polyester canvas, 50 x 50 cm, double-sided with two different prints, machine washable, and bold enough to make a deck chair or alfresco setting feel as inspired as your living room.
They’re water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. This means they’ll handle a light shower or a splash without issue, but they’re not designed to sit in sustained rain or remain wet for extended periods. Bringing them in or storing them undercover when the weather turns will keep them looking their best for longer.
Yes. These are machine washable on a cold cycle, which is one of the main advantages over foam or filling-only outdoor cushions. The insert is removable, so you can wash the cover separately.
Keeping them out of direct sun when not in use will extend the life of the prints considerably. These cushions are designed for outdoor use, but like anything with a printed surface in the harsh Australian sun, prolonged UV exposure will affect the colours over time. Storing them inside or undercover between uses is the simplest way to keep them vivid.
