Choosing the right outdoor fabric can make all the difference in the comfort, appearance, and longevity of your patio furniture. Here's a quick comparison of our four options.
Olefin is an affordable, solution-dyed synthetic fabric known for its resistance to moisture, mildew, and fading. It's lightweight, easy to clean, and a great choice for everyday outdoor cushions in covered or moderately exposed spaces.
Supercrylic offers a premium feel with exceptional softness and color retention. Like acrylic fabrics, it's highly UV resistant, breathable, and designed to withstand years of outdoor use while maintaining its vibrant appearance. It's an excellent option for those seeking both comfort and durability.
Sunbrella® is widely regarded as the industry standard for outdoor performance fabrics. Made from solution-dyed acrylic fibers, it provides outstanding resistance to fading, stains, mold, and mildew. Sunbrella fabrics are breathable, comfortable, and backed by an excellent reputation for long-term performance, making them ideal for outdoor seating, umbrellas, and marine applications.
Sunbrella Rain® builds on the performance of traditional Sunbrella by adding a waterproof backing. This makes it perfect for cushions that remain outdoors year-round or in rainy climates, as it prevents water from soaking through while still offering the same UV and fade resistance. However, because it's less breathable than standard Sunbrella, it's best suited for applications where water protection is the highest priority.
No matter which fabric you choose, our Rainshield® cushion's quick-dry construction helps prevent the foam from becoming waterlogged so you never have to worry about soggy cushions. The best choice comes down to your budget, local climate, and how your outdoor furniture will be used. By selecting the fabric that best fits your needs, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting outdoor cushions and furnishings for years to come - all worry-free with Rainshield™ cushions.
