This replacement cushion uses solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic -- the fabric is colored before the fiber is spun, so the pigment runs all the way through and resists fading even under relentless sun. The Select Sunbrella cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The high-density polyester fill holds its shape season after season and sheds water instead of soaking it up.
How Does Sunbrella Fabric Hold Up Against Rain and Sun?
Sunbrella's solution-dyed acrylic laughs off what kills ordinary outdoor fabric. Because the color is locked into the fiber before weaving, UV rays can't bleach it out the way they do with surface-dyed cloth. The tight weave repels water -- rain beads up and rolls off instead of soaking through to the fill. The fabric also resists mildew, so a humid summer or a surprise rainstorm won't leave you with dark spots and musty cushions. You're looking at fabric engineered specifically to live outside.
Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?
You don't have to, but you'll extend the cushion's life if you do. Sunbrella can handle cold and damp, but months of sitting in pooled snowmelt or under ice will eventually wear on the seams and the fill. If you're in a mild climate or your patio has a roof, leaving it out is fine -- just stand it on edge so water drains off. In snow country, store it in a deck box or a dry garage once the season ends. A quick spot-clean before you put it away keeps dirt from setting in over the off months.
Where Does This Cushion Fit Best on Your Deck or Patio?
It's built for any seat that sees real weather -- lounge chairs in full sun, deep-seating sofas on a covered porch, dining chairs that get caught in afternoon rain. If your old cushions have faded to a ghost of their original color or flattened into pancakes, a Sunbrella replacement brings the comfort back without the annual replacement cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the cushions water resistant?
- Yes -- Sunbrella's tight weave repels water so rain beads up and rolls off instead of soaking through. The fill is polyester fiber that dries quickly if it does get damp.
- Will the color fade in direct sun?
- Sunbrella is solution-dyed, meaning the pigment is part of the fiber itself, so it resists UV fade far better than surface-dyed fabrics. You'll see little to no color loss even after years of full sun.
- Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?
- The covers are not removable on this cushion. Spot clean with mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry -- Sunbrella releases dirt easily and doesn't need machine washing.
- Can this stay outside all year?
- It can survive outdoor storage, but bringing it in or covering it during winter -- especially in snow and ice -- will extend its life by protecting the seams and fill from prolonged exposure to standing water.
- How do I store it over winter?
- Store it clean and dry in a deck box, garage, or shed. Stand it on edge so any residual moisture drains off, and make sure air can circulate around it to prevent mildew during storage.
- Is assembly required, and what does shipping include?
- No assembly is needed -- the cushion ships ready to use. Free standard curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; white-glove or in-room placement is available for an additional fee upon request.
