Choosing outdoor furniture and cushions is one of the finishing touches you’ll put on your outdoor living area. When you’re choosing outdoor cushions, you want to make smart decisions so that your purchases will last. According to Fixr, 33% of people say comfortable couches are growing as the most popular outdoor furniture trend. Let’s look at a few facts you should consider when shopping for outdoor cushions and pillows.

1. Color Scheme Matters

You’ll want to plan out your color scheme early on. This can help you to narrow down different options. There are so many outdoor furniture and cushion products, so you can get easily overwhelmed if you don’t narrow down the choices early on. Your color scheme will be one of the first things you decide on, and this will help you stay focused on products that will work for you.

2. Comfort Matters

Your outdoor living area should be a comfortable space that you want to spend time in. The comfort of this space is far more important than anything else. When it comes to comfort, this should be a priority over appearance or aesthetics. Look for plush cushions with multiple layers of padding.

3. Quality Matters

You should consider your outdoor furniture to be an investment. Buying cushions made with quality fabric will ensure that your purchase lasts a long time. Your outdoor cushions and pillows will be exposed to the elements and weather, so they must be made from quality materials that can stand up to this exposure. In our experience, you should consider fabric manufactured to be performance fabric or all-weather fabric. These are specifically made to stand up to rain and UV exposure.

4. Convenience Matters

You will also want to find outdoor furniture and cushion options that are easy to maintain. You should research the care and maintenance requirements for the pieces you’re considering. You don’t want to get stuck with items that require more care than you’re willing to provide. If the pieces are easy to care for, you’ll be able to keep them in better shape over the long run.

These are just a few things to consider when you’re buying outdoor cushions and pillows for your outdoor spaces. If you’re looking for cushion options, please contact Paradise Cushions today or check out our inventory. We look forward to hearing from you!
