This cushion uses solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic fabric engineered to resist fading and mildew across seasons of sun, rain and humidity. The Select Sunbrella Cushion in Sunbrella all-weather fabric is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. High-density polyurethane foam fills the core for support that dries quickly after rain.

How Well Does Sunbrella Fabric Hold Up in Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic embeds color through the entire fiber -- not surface-applied -- so UV rays can't strip pigment the way they fade printed or topically dyed fabrics. You'll see minimal color shift even after years in direct sun. The acrylic fiber itself repels water and resists mildew, and the polyurethane foam core drains and dries fast after a downpour so you're not sitting on a sponge. Sunbrella won't stop every drop -- it's water-resistant, not waterproof -- but it handles the cycle of wet and dry far better than cotton or untreated polyester.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave Sunbrella cushions out through light frost and occasional winter rain, but storing them in a shed or covered bin during prolonged freezing, heavy snow or months of disuse will extend their life. The fabric resists mildew and UV year-round, but ice and standing moisture trapped under snow can stress seams and zippers over time. If you use your patio through the shoulder seasons, they'll handle it -- just brush off snow and let them dry between storms.

Can You Remove the Covers to Wash Them?

The covers unzip for machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air-dry them flat or line-dry -- never put Sunbrella in a hot dryer, which can shrink the fabric and damage the weave. For day-to-day spills and pollen, spot-clean with a soft brush, mild soap and water, then rinse and air-dry. Keeping dirt from embedding in the weave makes deep cleaning less frequent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the color fade after a summer in full sun?

Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic resists UV fade far better than surface-dyed fabrics -- expect minimal color shift even after years of direct sunlight.

Are the cushions waterproof or just water-resistant?

Water-resistant: the fabric repels rain and the foam drains quickly, but they're not sealed against submersion or prolonged heavy storms.

Can I leave this outside all year in a cold climate?

You can, but storing cushions indoors during heavy snow and prolonged freezing extends their lifespan by reducing stress on seams and zippers.

How do I clean mildew or stains from Sunbrella fabric?

Mix one cup bleach per gallon of water with mild soap, apply with a soft brush, let sit fifteen minutes, rinse thoroughly and air-dry -- Sunbrella's acrylic tolerates dilute bleach.

Does the foam core stay soggy after rain?

No -- high-density polyurethane foam drains and dries quickly, so you won't be sitting on a wet sponge an hour after a storm.

Is assembly required, and what does delivery include?

Cushions ship ready to use with free curbside delivery to the continental USA; no assembly needed.
