Furniture Gallery's water-resistant and waterproof outdoor cushion range is built for Australian conditions, resisting moisture, UV fading, and mildew year-round. Choose from our Bossima water-resistant range for covered alfresco areas, or our Sunbrella waterproof options for full outdoor and poolside exposure.
Outdoor Cushion Covers — Waterproof & UV Resistant
Our cushion covers use solution-dyed acrylic and UV-stabilised polyester fabrics that resist water on contact. Most covers are removable and machine washable for easy maintenance. Available in two levels of protection:
Water Resistant Outdoor Cushions (Bossima)
Ideal for covered patios, pergolas, and alfresco dining areas. Repels light rain and resists staining. UV-stable for Australian sun exposure. Recommended for furniture under a roof or a shade sail.
Fully Waterproof Outdoor Cushions (Sunbrella)
Sunbrella acrylic fabric — the highest-performance outdoor cushion fabric available. Suitable for exposed poolside, coastal homes, and high-humidity environments.
Waterproof Outdoor Cushions – Frequently Asked Questions

Sunbrella fabric carries a 5-year manufacturer fade guarantee and is specifically designed to resist the high UV levels found in Australia. Our Bossima range also uses UV stabilisers designed for Australian conditions.
