Hey there, patio lovers! We all know that feeling when you step outside, and your outdoor space just sings with style. Your new cushions? They’re the cherry on top. But as much as we wish they could fend for themselves, a little cushion savvy goes a long way to keep them perky and party-ready. So let’s chat about keeping your cozy companions looking as fresh as the day you brought them home.
Outdoor Living, Cushion Caring
Can you leave your cushions out all the time? Well, here’s the scoop: they’re tough, but they’re not superheroes. They need a break from the elements now and then. We're all for outdoor living, but think twice before you leave your cushions to battle the weather on their own.
The durable Capri™ 5 Piece Club Chair & Ottoman Furniture Cover Set is ready to protect your furniture investment.
Sunbathing: Not Always Fun for Your Cushions
We love a good sun-soaked day, and your cushions can handle a bit of it, too. But just like us, they need protection from those UV rays to avoid the dreaded fade. Slide them under a cover or pop them into a storage box when you’re not soaking up the sun together. And for the love of lounging, keep them out of the heat when the sun clocks out.
Rain Check for Cushion Safety
Sure, your cushions can shake off a sprinkle but don’t push their limits when the rain pours. A quick cover-up with water-resistant gear will help them shrug off the occasional drizzle. Caught in a downpour? Bring them in for a dry spell before they become a bug’s favorite water park.
Morning Dew: Not as Innocent as It Looks
A little dew on the lawn is lovely, but on your cushions? Not so much. It might look harmless, but trust us, it’s the silent type that leaves a mark. Tuck your cushions away at night, and they’ll thank you with dry, snuggle-worthy surfaces at sunrise.

Winter Weather: Time for a Cushion Vacation
When the temperature drops, it’s time for your cushions to hibernate. No one wants to chill on a block of ice, right? If you’re not cuddling up outdoors, keep your cushions out of the winter woes and somewhere snug and dry.
Spotless Storage: Cushion Cleaning 101
Before you store, clean those beauties like you’re expecting a visit from the Queen. Check the tags for a how-to, give them a scrub, and let them air out to dodge the mildew and mold. And hey, if the sun’s out, why not catch some rays while they dry?
Storing with Style (and Smarts)
Airtight is all right for a quick fix, but when it comes to the long haul, breathable is better. Use garment bags or let them hang out in a cool, indoor place. Got a last-minute weather switch-up? A deck box is your go-to for keeping your cushions close and cozy.
