Select Sunbrella Cushion

Details at a Glance

Fabric	Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic
Country of Origin	USA

This replacement cushion is built around solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic, the fabric engineered to hold color through years of UV exposure and resist mildew even in humid climates. The Select Sunbrella Cushion delivers full-season outdoor performance and is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You're replacing worn fabric with material proven against the two forces that destroy most cushions: sunlight and moisture.

How Does Solution-Dyed Sunbrella Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

Color is locked into the acrylic fiber before the yarn is spun, so UV rays can't strip pigment the way they fade printed or surface-dyed fabrics. Sunbrella acrylic dries quickly after rain, breathes to prevent trapped moisture, and resists mildew growth that turns cushions musty by mid-summer. It won't rot, and the fabric maintains tension season after season. This is the material commercial marinas and resort pools use when fade-out isn't acceptable.

Can You Leave This Cushion Outside All Season?

Yes -- Sunbrella is engineered for months of outdoor exposure without needing to be brought in after every storm. Rain drains and dries; the fabric won't mildew if it stays damp for a few days. For winter storage in freezing climates, bring cushions inside or store them in a dry shed to extend their lifespan. Leaving them out through snow and ice isn't required by the fabric, but long-term freeze-thaw cycles can stress seams and fill over the years.

How Do You Clean Sunbrella When It Gets Dirty?

Hose off surface dust and pollen weekly during heavy pollen season. For deeper cleaning, scrub with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and air-dry. Sunbrella resists stains, but sunscreen, tree sap, and food oils should be spot-treated promptly before they set. The fabric can handle bleach solution for mold or stubborn stains -- one cup bleach to one gallon water, then rinse completely. Never machine-wash unless the care tag explicitly allows it, and never put cushions in a dryer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the cushions water resistant?

Sunbrella acrylic is water-repellent and dries quickly, but it is not waterproof -- rain will wet the surface and the fill inside. The fabric resists mildew even when damp, so occasional rain exposure won't ruin the cushion.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed Sunbrella is engineered to resist UV fade far longer than printed or surface-dyed fabrics. Years of full sun will cause gradual softening of color, but it won't bleach out in one season the way untreated fabric does.

Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?

That depends on the cushion construction, which is not specified in the product details. If covers are removable, check the care tag for washing instructions before putting them in a machine.

Can this stay outside all year?

Sunbrella handles months outdoors through rain and heat, but for winter in freezing climates, store cushions inside or in a dry shed to protect seams and fill from freeze-thaw stress.

How do I store it over winter?

Clean and fully dry the cushion, then store it in a breathable bag or bin in a dry space -- garage, shed, basement. Avoid sealed plastic containers that trap residual moisture and can cause mildew during storage.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, this cushion ships ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; white-glove setup or in-room placement is available for an additional fee upon request.
