“What fabric should you use for outdoor cushions?” is a question everyone is starting to think of as a preparation for the infamous and short, UK’s summer!

Outdoor cushions play an important role in creating a cozy atmosphere in your patio or back garden which means, choosing the right fabric is essential.

In this blog post, we will help you choose the fabric for your outdoor cushions!

 

What Makes a Great Outdoor Fabric

 

Water Repellency

For us living in the UK, the most important is, outdoor fabrics should be waterproof or water-repellent!

 

UV Resistance

It needs to have some UV resistance to protect colors and maintain the fabric’s integrity when left outside.

 

Durability

Outdoor fabrics do suffer more wear and tear than indoor fabrics, due to wind, rain, debris and animals. It is important to look for materials that are tough and can withstand constant use.

 

Easy Maintenance

Sometimes neglected but very important! They should be easy to clean, wash and easy to maintain.
