Outdoor Cushions

{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Are outdoor cushions waterproof or water resistant?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Furniture Gallery outdoor cushions use water-resistant fabrics that repel moisture on contact. Our Bossima range uses a polyester blend treated with water and stain guard, ideal for covered alfresco areas and patios. For poolside or coastal use, choose our waterproof outdoor cushion range which uses Sunbrella acrylic or vinyl-coated fabrics. We recommend bringing all cushions under cover during extended heavy rain to maximise their lifespan." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the best fabric for outdoor cushions in Australia?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "For Australian conditions — high UV exposure, summer storms, and coastal humidity — Sunbrella acrylic and solution-dyed olefin fabrics perform best. They resist UV fading, dry quickly after rain, and resist mould. Our Bossima cushions use high-grade polyester with UV stabilisers, which suits most covered or semi-exposed Australian settings. For permanent outdoor or poolside use, our Sunbrella fabric options offer a 5-year fade guarantee." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can outdoor cushions be left outside in the rain?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Our water-resistant outdoor cushions handle light rain without soaking through. For heavy or prolonged rain, we recommend moving cushions under cover or into a dry area to prevent mildew forming in the fill. Most Furniture Gallery cushion covers are removable and machine washable, making it easy to freshen them up after wet weather." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What size outdoor cushion do I need?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Measure the seat width and depth of your furniture before ordering. For standard outdoor dining chairs, most seats suit a 45cm x 45cm seat pad. For outdoor benches, our most popular sizes are 120cm and 150cm lengths. For lounge and deep seat furniture, our sets include both a seat pad and a backrest cushion. Contact us with your measurements and we will match you to the right product." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I clean outdoor cushions?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Brush off loose dirt and spot clean with mild soap and cool water, then rinse thoroughly and air dry. Most Furniture Gallery cushion covers are removable for machine washing on a gentle cold cycle. Avoid bleach on coloured fabrics and never use a dryer as heat breaks down the water-resistant coating. For stubborn mould or salt residue, a diluted white vinegar solution works well on most outdoor fabric types." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you ship outdoor cushions across Australia?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — Furniture Gallery ships Australia-wide from our Australian warehouse. Most orders are dispatched within 1-3 business days. Delivery to most metro areas takes 3-7 business days." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the difference between Sunbrella and standard polyester outdoor cushions?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Sunbrella is a premium solution-dyed acrylic fabric with a 5-year fade guarantee — the colour is baked into the fibre during manufacturing, not applied to the surface. It dries faster and resists mould and mildew better than standard polyester. Standard polyester cushions like our Bossima range perform well in covered or semi-sheltered areas at a lower price point. For permanent outdoor exposure, poolside, coastal homes, or commercial use, Sunbrella is the better long-term investment." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I get outdoor cushions for commercial or hospitality use?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Our Bossima and Sunbrella cushion range is used in cafes, restaurants, resorts, and alfresco venues across Australia. For bulk orders, trade pricing, or interior designer enquiries, contact us directly. Our waterproof and Sunbrella options are particularly well-suited to high-use commercial settings." } } ] }
