Consider Durability: When choosing fabric for your custom cushions, durability should be a top priority, especially if your cushions will be exposed to outdoor elements or heavy use. For example, most fabrics are not made to withstand the rigors of constant sunlight exposure and will fade quicker than others. Our top recommendation for indoor/outdoor fabric is Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic fabrics and our performance vegan faux leather for indoor applications. Unsurprising to those in the know, Sunbrella acrylic fabrics are renowned for their exceptional durability, making them perfect for outdoor cushions that need to withstand sun, rain, and everyday wear and tear. If you want quality and durability, Sunbrella is a safe option you likely won’t regret.
Evaluate Cleanability: Spills and stains are inevitable, especially if your cushions are placed in high-traffic areas or outdoor spaces. That’s why it’s essential to choose a fabric that is easy to clean and maintain. Cottons and linens tend to absorb stains making them some of the hardest to clean. On the other hand, acrylic, polyesters, and leathers are the easiest to clean with acrylics taking the cake as the best because of their ability to be bleach-cleaned. If the cushion material is going to be used in a high-traffic area, go with the latter. If it’s purely for looks, this cleanability is not as important as fade resistance.
Prioritize Quality: Seems obvious, but quality matters when it comes to selecting fabric for your custom cushions. There’s the old saying of buy it nice or buy it twice, which applies to this. Investing in high-quality fabrics ensures that your cushions will stand the test of time, maintaining their appearance and comfort for years to come this is the primary reason why Sunbrella acrylics are so highly regarded.
Explore Style Options: While durability and quality are paramount, don’t forget to consider the aesthetic appeal of the fabric. We offer a wide range of stylish designs, patterns, and colors to suit any taste or design preference. If we don’t stock it, we can always order it.

Many of us have outdoor furniture that we would like to keep clean, stain free and well maintained. This can be a little challenging, especially with the many different kinds of fabrics on the market today. Outdoor fabrics have similar requirements as indoor upholstery fabric. They need to be soft, durable, and able to withstand washing. Here are some tips for choosing the right outdoor fabric for you.
If shopping for outdoor fabric, there are a few things to keep in mind. All fabrics will be affected by UV light, but some fabrics hold up better than others. Look for fabrics that have been tested by the manufacturer and certified to withstand the UV rays of your region.
Moisture is another factor when choosing outdoor fabric. If you live in a rainy climate or area with high humidity, it’s important to choose a material that is waterproof but breathable so air can circulate through it a prevent mold from forming on the surface of your cushion. Outdoor upholstery fabric should also be able to withstand frequent washing without fading or shrinking.
There are several ways to make outdoor fabric, from laminating two layers of different fabrics to adding a waterproofing treatment. The process of laminating involves two layers of fabric together with a layer of plastic between them. This results in the surface becoming smooth and durable and will resist wear better than an untreated fabric. However, this process can make the fabric more tough to clean if it gets dirty.
Outdoor fabrics are giving a flame-retardancy rating. The higher the rating, the more fire resistant the fabric. Flame retardant fabrics are made of synthetic fibers, which have a higher resistance to heat than natural fibers. Fabrics are given a flame-retardancy rating based on the type of fabric and its weight (more specifically, its average density). The higher the rating, the more fire resistant it is- so while your outdoor cushions might be safe from burning at first glance, they’ll be even safer if you spend some time considering their material properties before purchasing them!
We hope that this article has given you a good understanding of how to choose the right fabric for your outdoor cushions. If you still have questions about the care of your cushions, give us a call or us and we would be happy to help!
