Uses

The primary use of outdoor cushion covers is to protect your cushions from the sun, rain, wind and other outdoor elements. They prevent your cushions from getting wet from pool-day splashes and fading through sunny seasons. Cushion covers add a layer of defense against dirt, dust and other elements of Mother Nature that can damage your cushions over time. Additionally, cushion covers can be used to add a decorative touch to your outdoor furniture that expresses your unique style. They come in a wide range of colors and patterns, so you can easily find the perfect cushion cover to complement your outdoor furniture, elevate your decor and create a hub for relaxing open-air hosting.

Features

Outdoor cushion covers come with several features that make them convenient to use. Most covers have zippered closures that make it easy to remove and clean. Some also feature ties or straps that can be used to secure the cushions to the furniture, ensuring they stay in place even on windy days. Consider the size and shape of your existing seat cushions when choosing outdoor cushion covers. While you can use a generic size cover if you're in a pinch, you will get a tailored fit if you purchase cushion covers custom made for your furniture, like the ones we offer at World Market. Top it all off with coordinating throw pillows, an umbrella and string lights to transform any space into an outdoor oasis.

When selecting outdoor cushion covers, consider your typical weather conditions and choose a durable fabric that can withstand them. As you look at fabrics and features to find the perfect option for your outdoor decor, keep in mind covers with convenient features like zip closures and ties or straps for a secure fit. With proper care and maintenance, outdoor cushion covers can last for years to come and keep any outdoor seating furniture fresh, fashionable and comfortable.
