Outdoor Cushions

Bring Comfort Outside With Outdoor Cushions from Amart

Why should your outdoor seating feel any less inviting than your lounge inside? With the right outdoor cushions, comfort follows you out the door.

At Amart, we offer some of the highest-quality outdoor accessories in Australia. Our outdoor cushions are designed to handle real weather while keeping your space stylish, making us a trusted choice for durable comfort that looks good too.

Why your outdoor setting feels better with cushions

Cushions aren’t just a finishing touch. They change how your outdoor living space feels the moment you sit down. Consider how these benefits transform your space and daily routine:

• All-day comfort: Outdoor seat cushions offer gentle support, perfect for long lunches or evening chats.
• Better posture: Thicker padding helps reduce strain and encourages better seating position.
• Weather resistance: Quality fabrics are made to handle sun, rain, and regular use without losing their shape.
• Cohesive styling: Match your cushions with planters, rugs, and furniture for a balanced outdoor look.

Best materials that cope with the Australian weather

Australia’s climate can be tough on outdoor furniture, which is why material choice matters. The right fabric keeps your outdoor area looking great without constant upkeep.

At Amart, many of our outdoor cushions feature polyester covers that are water-resistant, durable, and built to handle sun exposure. This high-quality, low-maintenance fabric holds its shape and colour, so your setup stays fresh through the seasons.

What should you look for in outdoor cushions?

Getting the right outdoor cushions starts with knowing what works for your furniture and how you use the space. It’s about comfort, but also the way everything fits together visually.

Think about these simple details before you choose:

• Correct sizing: Cushions should sit neatly on a bench, chair, or daybed without overhang or gaps.
• Style match: Pair structured cushions with an outdoor sofa and softer styles with a sun lounger or recliner.
• Colour balance: Pick tones that work with your furniture and suit the overall mood of your outdoor space.

Which outdoor cushion types suit your needs?

Amart’s outdoor cushions are designed to suit a wide range of seating. With two key shapes to choose from, it’s easy to style your space with comfort in mind.

• Square cushion: Ideal for outdoor chairs, single armchairs or layered on lounges for extra support.
• Rectangular cushion: A practical choice for longer seats and can double as an outdoor bench cushion to soften firm surfaces.

Both options offer a simple way to update your space with new cushions that feel good and look right.

Colours and patterns that brighten your outdoors

Colour and pattern can shape the whole mood of your outdoor setting. Whether your furniture is bold or neutral, the right outdoor cushion cover can bring it all together.

From classic shades to playful designs, there's something for every taste:

• Colours: Pink, beige, sage green, and navy blue create a timeless Hamptons feel.
• Geometric cushions: Check, plaid, and diamond patterns add structure and interest.
• Tropical prints: Pineapples, palms, and botanicals bring a vibrant touch.
• Textural details: Fringed or tasselled edges offer extra charm.

What thickness works best for outdoor cushions?

Thickness plays a big role in how outdoor cushions feel and how well they hold up over time. Too thin, and they wear out quickly or feel flat. Too thick, and they may not sit right on certain furniture.

Most lounge cushions sit in the 5cm to 15cm range, which gives a good balance of comfort and support. High-quality cushion inserts help maintain shape, making them a smarter pick for long-term outdoor use.

Can outdoor cushions be left in the rain?

Outdoor cushions can handle light rain, but they’re not built to stay wet for long. Most covers are water-resistant, not waterproof, so moisture can eventually seep in.

To protect back cushions and chair pads, bring them undercover during heavy rain or store them in a dry space when not in use. Using furniture covers or storage boxes can also help extend their life and keep them looking good.

How to clean outdoor cushions

Even the best outdoor chair cushions need a little care to stay fresh. Weather, food, and the occasional bird drop can leave marks if left too long. With the right cleaning approach, your cushions can look good season after season.

Quick fixes for cushion stains

For small messes, a fast clean-up can prevent stains from setting. Use a soft cloth, warm water, and a bit of mild soap to gently blot the area. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this can wear the surface of your outdoor chair cushions.

Hand washing vs. machine washing cushions

If the cushion covers are removable, you can wash them on a gentle machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always skip bleach and fabric softeners.

For cushions with fixed covers or delicate finishes, stick to hand washing with a sponge and bucket to help protect the fabric.

Tackling mould and mildew

Cushions stored while damp can trap moisture and grow mould. Keep them dry and well-aired when not in use.

If mould does appear, apply white vinegar or a sprinkle of baking soda, let it sit briefly, then scrub lightly and rinse. Full sun drying can help prevent future build-up.
