This replacement cushion uses Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic fabric engineered to handle direct sun and moisture without fading or peeling the way printed outdoor fabrics do. The Select Sunbrella Cushion is a replacement cushion available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The cover removes for machine washing when pollen or dirt builds up.

Why Does Sunbrella Fabric Resist Fading Better Than Standard Outdoor Fabric?

Because the color is dyed into the acrylic fiber before it's woven, not printed on afterward. Solution-dyeing locks pigment all the way through the strand, so sun can't strip the surface color the way it does with topical coatings. Sunbrella acrylic is also engineered to resist water penetration and mildew growth, which means the cushion dries faster after rain and won't develop the musty smell that traps moisture in untreated fabrics. It's not waterproof -- water will bead on the surface but can soak through in a downpour -- so the core fill still benefits from being brought in during heavy storms or covered when not in use.

Can You Leave This Cushion Outside All Summer, or Does It Need to Come In Every Night?

It's built for season-long outdoor use, so you don't need to haul it inside every evening. Sunbrella fabric resists UV damage and repels light rain, which makes it practical for weeks of patio use without constant cover-and-uncover cycles. For the longest life, pull it under a roof or into storage during heavy rain, winter, or long stretches when the furniture isn't in use -- water resistance buys you flexibility, not immunity, and keeping the fill dry between seasons prevents mildew from taking hold in the core.

How Do You Clean It When Pollen or Spills Build Up?

Unzip the cover, pull it off, and run it through the washing machine on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air-dry it completely before putting it back on the fill -- heat from a dryer can stress the fabric and hardware. For spot cleaning without removing the cover, wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and a few drops of dish soap, rinse with clean water, and let it air-dry in the sun. Brush off loose dirt and pollen weekly so it doesn't work into the weave; buildup left too long will grind into the fibers and make deep cleaning harder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the cushions water-resistant?

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic fabric resists water penetration and dries quickly, though it's not waterproof and can soak through in prolonged downpours. Light rain beads off; for heavier storms, bring the cushion under cover or inside.

Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?

Yes, the covers are removable and machine-washable on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air-dry them completely before putting them back on the fill to prevent mildew.

Can this stay outside all year?

It's built for outdoor seasonal use, but storing it indoors or under weatherproof cover during winter and heavy rain extends its life significantly. Keeping the fill dry between seasons prevents mildew and compression damage.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic is engineered to resist UV fade far better than surface-printed fabrics, since the color is locked into the fiber itself. Fading over years of exposure is minimal compared to untreated outdoor textiles.

How should I store it over winter?

Clean the cover, let it dry completely, then store the cushion in a dry indoor space or a ventilated outdoor storage box. Keeping it out of freezing rain and snow prevents the fill from staying wet and developing mildew.

Does it ship fully assembled, or is white-glove delivery included?

Standard free curbside delivery brings it to your door ready to use. White-glove delivery, in-room placement, and packaging removal are available upon request for an additional fee.
