Garden furniture with cushions

Think about cushion fill and fabric. Cushions with foam or memory foam cores provide structure, while fibre-fill cushions stay plump but are quick-drying. Look for removable, washable cushion covers in weatherproof fabrics like solution-dyed polyester or acrylic that resist fading from sun and resist mildew even in damp conditions.
Next, examine the frame material. Rattan and resin wicker offer classic outdoor style, aluminium keeps things light and corrosion-resistant, and teak or solid wood brings a natural warmth. Consider assembly requirements and ensure the size fits your space, balcony, or patio.
Also check weather protection features: water‑repellent cushion covers, fast-drying foams, UV protection, and whether the cushions are designed to stay outside year-round or require storage during harsher seasons.

Rattan or synthetic wicker sets with cushioned seating remain a favourite for their timeless look and comfort. Aluminium or powder-coated steel frames offer modern lines and weather resistance with lighter weight. Teak, acacia, or other hardwoods provide a premium feel and natural warmth, though may require more maintenance to protect against moisture and sun.
Cushion fabrics vary widely—opt for solution-dyed or performance fabrics that resist fading and mildew. Removable covers that can be machine-washed simplify care, while non-slip base pads and reinforced seams extend cushion life.

Regularly brush off dirt and debris, and spot-clean stains with mild soap and lukewarm water. Remove cushion covers when advised by the care label and wash on a gentle cycle. Air-dry completely before reusing to prevent mildew. Store cushions in a dry, ventilated space during heavy rain or winter months to extend their life.
If covers are not machine-washable, use a mild fabric cleaner and a soft brush, then rinse and dry in shade. Consider breathable storage bags or dedicated outdoor cushions boxes to protect cushions from the elements when not in use.

Many Wowcher listings include cushions as part of a complete dining or lounge set, while some offer modular pieces that let you add extra cushions later. Replacement cushions or extra cushion covers are often available separately, allowing you to refresh your look without buying a whole new set.
Check the product page for cushion specification (thickness, fill type, and cover material) and verify compatibility with your existing furniture. Pay attention to zip closures and tie-fasteners that keep cushions in place during windy days.

Measure your outdoor area and consider traffic flow around tables, loungers, and seating groups. If you have a small balcony, look for compact sets with two or three chairs and a corner bench with cushions to maximize seating without crowding.
For larger patios, opt for modular lounge sets that can be rearranged. Cushion depth and seat height influence comfort—aim for cushions around 10–15 cm thick and seats around 40–45 cm high for relaxed lounging and easy sitting down.

If you lack a dedicated shed, invest in a breathable fabric cover for rain protection and UV shielding. Store cushions indoors or in a ventilated storage box during winter or heavy rain periods to prevent mildew and color fading. Consider stackable frames or modular pieces that are easier to cover and stack when not in use.
Year-round care includes cleaning cushions before storage, inspecting for loose seams, and keeping cushions dry before sealing them away. This simple routine extends the life of both the fabric and the cushion filling, helping you enjoy outdoor comfort for many seasons.

Many Wowcher deals include standard delivery, with occasional free delivery promotions on qualifying orders. Some listings offer express delivery for faster arrival, while others provide click-and-collect options in select areas. Always check the listing for delivery windows, costs, and any regional restrictions.
Returns policies generally align with Wowcher’s standard terms and the retailer’s own policy. If cushions arrive with a defect or the furniture doesn’t fit your space, contact the seller or Wowcher support promptly to arrange a return, exchange, or credit. Keep packaging intact until the return is confirmed.

Fade is common with prolonged sun exposure on certain fabrics. To minimize it, choose fabrics with UV inhibitors and rotate cushions regularly so wear is even. Regular cleaning and storing cushions during the harshest sun hours can also help maintain color and texture over time.
If fading occurs, consider replenishing with fresh cushion covers or switching to darker shades that hide sun exposure more effectively. Always follow care labels to avoid damaging the fabric and maintain warranty coverage where applicable.
