Sunbrella's solution-dyed acrylic holds color straight through the fiber, so rain and full sun won't bleach it the way surface-dyed fabrics fade after one season. The Select Sunbrella Cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, built to the dimensions you specify and upholstered in the Sunbrella pattern you choose from hundreds of solid and woven options.
Why Does Sunbrella Last So Much Longer Than Standard Outdoor Fabric?
The pigment is locked into the acrylic before the fiber is even spun -- that's solution-dyeing -- so UV can't strip the color out from the surface. Sunbrella resists fading for years in direct sun, sheds rain without soaking through, and won't support mildew growth even in humid climates. The high-resilience foam core inside rebounds season after season and drains moisture quickly if the cushion gets caught in a storm.
Can You Leave This Outside All Year?
Sunbrella fabric will take rain and sun without damage, but the foam core lasts longer if you bring cushions inside during prolonged wet weather or store them in a deck box when they're not in use for weeks at a time. In freezing climates, store cushions indoors or in a shed over winter -- repeated freeze-thaw cycles can shorten foam life. If the cushion does get soaked, stand it on edge in the sun so both sides dry completely before you put it back into service.
How Do You Clean Sunbrella When It Gets Dirty?
Brush off loose dirt, then wash the fabric with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and let it air-dry standing upright. For tougher stains -- pollen, tree sap, red wine -- Sunbrella publishes a stain-removal chart on its site with specific treatments for dozens of substances. Never use bleach on a pattern or woven fabric, and never machine-wash a foam-core cushion -- hand-clean the cover in place and let it dry outdoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the cushions water resistant?
- Yes -- Sunbrella fabric resists water penetration, and the foam core drains and dries quickly if the cushion gets wet.
- Will the fabric fade in direct sun?
- No -- solution-dyed acrylic holds color for years under full UV exposure because the pigment runs through the entire fiber, not just the surface.
- Can this stay outside all year?
- The fabric can, but you'll extend the foam's life by storing cushions indoors during long stretches of rain or over winter in freezing climates.
- Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?
- This cushion is upholstered with the fabric sewn directly over the foam core, so you clean it in place with soap and water rather than removing a zippered cover.
- How do I measure for a replacement cushion?
- Measure the length, width, and current thickness of your existing cushion in inches -- if you're replacing a worn piece, match those dimensions when you order.
- How is this shipped?
- Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; the cushion arrives rolled and vacuum-sealed, and the foam expands to full loft within 24 hours after you unpack it.
We recommend a simple and effective cleaning and care regimen for our products.
