Sunbrella cushions are a perfect choice for extending your design or adding comfort to seats, chairs and benches! Cushions Cushion offers many options for cushions such as: Sunbrella chair seat cushions, Sunbrella bench cushions, Sunbrella window seat cushions, Sunbrella chaise cushions and Sunbrella throw pillows.
Sunbrella cushions are not only functional and ideal for outdoors but they come in an assortment of gorgeous designer fabrics that allow them to be used perfectly indoors as well. Sunbrella fabrics are made from 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic yarns. Solution-dying is the process of adding color to acrylic fibers during manufacturing while they are in a liquid state.
Depending on your Sunbrella cushion selection, your cushions can be filled with cumulus or foam. Cumulus is layered polyester designed for outdoor Sunbrella cushions. It resists mildew and does not retain water. Foam is polyurethane dense upholstery foam designed primarily for indoor Sunbrella cushions and holds its shape longer than cumulus.

Sunbrella fabric is water repellent not water proof. This means that during the finishing process, a water-repellent finish is applied to the fabric. Normal wear and usage will reduce the effectiveness of this finish, as will cleaning the fabric. We suggest that after Sunbrella fabrics are cleaned, and if they remain exposed to the elements constantly, that you re-treat your Sunbrella cushions with a water-repellent treatment such as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard, which can be purchased online or at local awning and marine shops.
This characteristic of acrylic fabrics is the key to locking in color, easy cleaning and long life. For this reason, acrylic fabric offers incredible resistance to stains, weather and wear in any application. Awning grade acrylic fabric carries a 10-year warranty against loss of color and strength. Furniture grade acrylic fabric carries a 5-year warranty against loss of color and strength.
Sunbrella fabrics, if kept clean, will not mildew. An inherent characteristic of acrylic fiber is that it will not support the growth of mildew as a natural fiber will. Mildew can grow on any surface that is dirty, so to keep your Sunbrella cushions from mildewing, you must keep your fabrics clean. If mildew growth becomes a problem, please refer to our care and cleaning instructions.
Sunbrella fabrics do not absorb water and are designed to air-dry very quickly - usually within a matter of minutes. We recommend that you do not machine wash or machine dry your Sunbrella fabric- this will often overheat and shrink the fabric.
