This replacement cushion is built around Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic fabric, which resists UV fade and repels moisture without a spray-on treatment that wears off after a season. The Select Sunbrella Cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You're replacing a worn-out cushion because the last one couldn't handle full sun or a rainstorm -- this one addresses both.

How Does Sunbrella Fabric Hold Up Against Rain and Sun?

Sunbrella embeds the color into the acrylic fiber before it's woven, so the dye can't wash out or bleach away from the surface. The fabric sheds water rather than soaking it up, and the high-density foam core inside dries quickly after a storm. You'll see fading eventually -- every outdoor textile does -- but solution-dyed acrylic takes years to show it where a printed polyester cushion goes pale in one summer. The fabric is also engineered to resist mildew, which matters if the cushion sits in a shaded corner or stays damp overnight. If you're furnishing a [south-facing deck](/collections/outdoor-replacement-cushions) or a poolside chair that gets splashed daily, this material tolerates both.

Can You Leave It Outside All Season, or Do You Need to Bring It In?

You can leave it out through spring and summer without worry, and it'll handle an unexpected downpour. Most people store cushions indoors during winter or cover them when they're not in use for weeks at a time -- Sunbrella resists weather, but sitting under snow or in standing water for months still degrades the foam and stresses the seams. If you have a covered porch or a deck box, that's enough. The covers unzip and go into a washing machine when they need it, which keeps the fabric looking clean season after season.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

This cushion fits any outdoor chair or bench that needs a durable replacement -- lounge chairs, dining seats, deep-seating frames. If you're matching a set or refreshing worn [outdoor replacement cushions](/collections/outdoor-replacement-cushions) one at a time, Sunbrella is stocked in enough colors that you can usually find a close match. It works on exposed decks, under pergolas, or around pools where chlorine and salt spray would wreck a cheaper fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the cushions water resistant?

Yes -- the Sunbrella fabric repels water, and the foam core is designed to dry quickly after rain. The cushion isn't waterproof, so it will absorb some moisture in a heavy storm, but it won't stay soaked the way untreated cotton does.

Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?

Yes, the covers unzip and are machine-washable in cold water. Air-dry them flat -- don't put them in a dryer, which can shrink the fabric or weaken the seams.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle spring through fall without issue, but most people store cushions indoors or in a deck box during winter to protect the foam and extend the life of the seams. Sunbrella resists mildew and fading, but months of snow and ice sitting on any cushion will break it down faster.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

Eventually, yes -- but far more slowly than printed or dyed-surface fabrics. Sunbrella's solution-dyed acrylic embeds color into the fiber, so it takes years of UV exposure to show noticeable fading rather than one season.

How is this shipped, and is setup included?

The cushion ships free via standard curbside delivery to the continental USA. It arrives ready to use -- no assembly required.

How do I store it over winter?

Clean the cover, let it dry completely, then store it in a dry indoor space or a weatherproof deck box. Avoid leaving it in a damp garage or shed where mildew can form, even on Sunbrella.
