Wicker Patio Cushions

Once again, it is that most favored time of the year for many people – patio season. Friends and family will gather for barbecues, visit over cold glasses of iced tea or just drop by for a chat on a warm summer evening – and your wicker patio furniture will provide the perfect setting every time. It is also a good time to look at your old patio cushions and decide if they need cleaning, repair or replacement.

Wicker is one of the most popular styles of outdoor furniture to ever sit next to a barbecue grill or outdoor drinks trolley and wicker patio cushions add a comfortable finishing touch to the furniture. The selection of patterns and colors to choose from are endless and they do not have to be expensive to own, especially if you choose to buy patio cushions online. Some patio owners even buy more than one set of cushions in order to change up the décor, depending on the backyard occasion or the seasonal colors that go with spring, summer or fall.
Like everything else; you will get what you pay for, so select your cushions carefully and keep in mind that they will be exposed to the weather – from frequent summer showers to the hot summer sun. Of course, patio furniture covers can be an effective way to protect your furniture, including your cushions, preserving their beauty and giving them a much longer long life.

Buying patio cushions online can be a real money saver, but you still face the problem of not being able touch and closely inspect the cushions personally. One way around that would be to visit a patio or backyard furniture store and find exactly what you’re looking for and take down the manufacturer’s information. You can then go online and order your cushions with confidence, having done a comparison to get the best price. Sites which offer free shipping are particularly attractive with a heavy bulky item like patio cushions, so watch out for that, and make your calculations based on the total price of your order for wicker cushions, rather than the advertised price of a single cushion excluding shipping.

Sunbrella Cushions

Sunbrella cushions are some of the best you can buy for your patio furniture. They have a great reputation and for good reason. The secret is in the fabric itself which makes the patio cushions withstand the rigors of constant use in your garden.

Sunbrella Fabric

The fabric used in Sunbrella seat cushions is particularly suited to outdoors. It is made from acrylic, which has been solution dyed. This means that the dye is added while the fabric is still in liquid form and it therefore permeates the fibers to a much greater degree. As a result, Sunbrella fabrics are so resistant to fading in the sun and rain that they are used for all kinds of tough jobs such as patio awnings and even convertible car tops. Although you can order Sunbrella outdoor fabric by the yard on a number of web sites, when you are looking for outdoor cushions you will probably buy these already covered in the fabric or you can choose to go the custom route and buy your seat cushions to order.

Other Reasons to Choose

Apart from being resistant to fading, Sunbrella fabric cushions are also treated with a fluorocarbon finish which is water repellent. This means that it does not matter if your cushions get soaked in a sudden down pour and you can also leave them outside all summer if you prefer, although all cushions benefit from being stored away from the elements when not in use. This finish gives them a certain degree of stain and mildew resistance too, although any spills and spots should be cleaned as soon as they occur to keep your cushions looking good.

Care of Sunbrella Patio Cushions

A little maintenance can keep your Sunbrella chair cushions looking great throughout the season. All you need to do is hose them down with clean water ever month or so and make sure any stains and spots are taken care of. Use the gentlest treatment you can to remove each stain.

There is help on this on the Sunbrella website. When more thorough cleaning is necessary, check the label of your cushions. Many Sunbrella cushion covers can be removed for washing in the washing machine but you should wash on a cool or lukewarm cycle and use soap flakes rather than detergent. If you prefer you can clean your cushions while still on your furniture with a soap solution and a soft bristle brush. This is how you can clean sun umbrellas and awnings too. Make sure to rinse the fabric thoroughly and to air dry it as Sunbrella fabric should never be subjected to the extreme heat of a tumble dryer. After any thorough cleaning (as opposed to hosing down) Sunbrella outdoor cushions should be treated with two applications of a water repellent spray such as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard to keep them water resistant.

All Types of Furniture Cushions

You can get every type of cushion with this fabric from Sunbrella chaise cushions to throw pillows to decorate your outdoor furniture. Consider Sunbrella for indoor furniture too. They are especially appropriate in a conservatory or sun room where fabrics may be subject to a lot of fading.

Where to Buy

You can buy Sunbrella cushions at garden centers, which sell patio furniture or look for them online. You will find a good selection of Sunbrella cushions for sale HERE, everything from bench cushions, steamer chair cushions to decorative outdoor pillows. Many of the cushions here have good discounts and often free shipping (which can mount up on items which are big and bulky like patio cushions, so watch out for that).
