Choosing the Right Patio Cushions for you and your Patio Furniture

Being in the surroundings of the patio cushions, patio umbrellas and patio furniture market we have heard just about every concern that customers have when purchasing new items for their outdoor rooms. Some of the most frequently asked questions are fitting, comfort, and appearance. Often customers want us to tell them what size, color and style of patio cushions to purchase, but we can only make suggestions. It becomes a quest to find the perfect patio cushion that will suit your needs and desires.

The most important aspect in buying new outdoor furniture cushions is sizing. Most customers have had previous patio cushions and are now in the process of purchasing replacement cushions. Often, it is easiest to take the cushion off of the patio furniture and set it flat on the ground. By doing this, customers are able to get the total measurements of the patio cushion. Besides the length, width and thickness of the patio cushion, it is very important to know the break measurement or where the seat meets the back part of the cushion. If the cushion has a back and seat and is either hinged or two separate pieces, customers will need to know how new cushions are going to fit on their patio chairs. Often mistakes are made with not getting the break measurements and customers end up with cushions that are either too tall or too short once they are placed on there furniture. Getting the break measurement is easy as measuring the back height and seat depth.

Once you have collected all of your measurements, the fun part can begin. It is wise to compare your measurements to what is offered on the web site. The measurements do not have to be exact, but we suggest that you stay within an inch to a half inch margin. The reason for this is that when cushions are being produced, it is often difficult to get the measurements right down the exact 16th or fractions of inches. Most patio cushions are soft and will eventually take shape of the furniture that they are used in.

If you cannot locate a patio cushion online that fits your measurements, we suggest that you go with a custom option. Many times, the word “custom” scares customers away because of the fear of high pricing. But once customers check into all the options the custom patio cushions can offer, it ends up being the best choice. Custom cushion production teams are specialized in replicating cushions from rare patio furniture sets. Cutting specific angles are curves are difficult to do with outdoor fabrics, but when templates are provided by the customer, it makes it much easier for both parties.

Comfort is a critical issue to choosing replacement patio cushions. A key factor for customers to keep in mind is the style of outdoor furniture that they have. It is not wise to put a one inch thick cushion or a patio dining set that may have metal or wooden slats for seating. The thicker the cushion is, the less of a chance there is to actually feel the slats or bracing when sitting down on the furniture. Before choosing a very thick cushion, it is suggested that customers still pay attention to their overall measurements. The thicker the outdoor cushion is, the higher it may sit on the furniture and raise the back upwards. Layered poly fiber and blown poly fiber are a good choose as opposed to foam. Because foam has a tendency to wear down quickly and retain water, it is not recommended for use with patio cushions. Choose replacement cushions that are going to be comfortable as well as fit properly on the patio furniture.

Last and final decision to make is focused on outdoor fabrics. We only offer outdoor fabrics to our customers with their patio cushions. The outdoor fabric is exclusively designed for outdoor use and will be resistant to mildew, soil, liquid, stains and mother nature right out of the box. Choosing the best color and pattern is totally up the customer and is said to be the most enjoyable parts of selecting outdoor patio cushions. Because some computer monitors and settings cannot display colors accurately, we often suggest that customers request free fabric samples. By doing this, customers are able to touch and feel the fabric in person as well as view the colors on their patio furniture or surroundings in the outdoor rooms. Outdoor fashions can usually indicate what’s in style for the season, but again it is totally up to the customer to decide on which outdoor fabric they would like their patio cushions made in.

We hope this article helps you as a patio cushion customer find the best items for you and your patio furniture.
