This replacement cushion is upholstered in solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic -- the fabric that holds color because the pigment is locked into the fiber before it's woven, not printed on afterward. The Select Sunbrella outdoor replacement cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The fill is high-resiliency polyester fiber that drains quickly and resists clumping after rain.

How Does Sunbrella Fabric Hold Up to Full Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed acrylic resists UV fade far longer than polyester or cotton because the color is part of the fiber itself, not a surface treatment that sun can bleach out. Sunbrella is engineered to repel water rather than absorb it, so the fabric dries faster and resists mildew in humid climates. You'll still see surface moisture after a downpour, but the weave doesn't wick water into the cushion core the way untreated fabrics do. Salt air won't degrade the fiber, which makes this material a go-to for coastal patios.

Can You Leave This Cushion Outside All Year?

You can leave Sunbrella cushions out through spring and summer without issue -- the fabric and fill both handle moisture and UV. For winter storage, bring the cushions inside or stow them in a deck box if you live where snow and ice sit for weeks; prolonged freeze-thaw cycles can stress the seams and zipper over time. In mild climates that stay above freezing, leaving them on covered furniture is fine. Brush off leaves and debris before long storage so organic matter doesn't sit against the fabric.

Where Does a Replacement Cushion Fit on Your Patio Setup?

This cushion swaps onto any chair, bench, or lounger where the original has faded or flattened. Pair it with other pieces from our [outdoor replacement cushions](/collections/outdoor-replacement-cushions) collection to refresh a full seating set without replacing the frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the cushions water resistant?

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic is water-repellent, so rain beads on the surface rather than soaking through. The fabric dries quickly, though you should still tip cushions on edge after heavy rain to let any trapped moisture drain from the fill.

Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?

Yes, the covers unzip and are machine washable in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air-dry them fully before putting them back on -- never use a hot dryer, which can shrink the fabric or weaken the zipper.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

Sunbrella resists UV fade because the dye is part of the fiber, not a coating. You'll see minor lightening over years of full-sun exposure, but it's far slower than standard outdoor fabric.

Does the fill hold its shape after rain?

High-resiliency polyester fiber springs back after compression and drains quickly when wet. You may need to fluff the cushion by hand after a long soak, but it won't mat or clump like low-grade foam.

How do I store it over winter?

Store cushions in a dry, ventilated space -- a garage, shed, or deck box. Make sure they're completely dry before stacking them, and leave a small gap for air circulation so mildew doesn't form during months of storage.

Is assembly or delivery included?

Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free. White-glove services like in-room placement or packaging removal are available for an additional fee upon request.
