Rattan cushions

First, measure your furniture to ensure a snug fit. Cushions that are too large or too small can look awkward and feel uncomfortable. Consider the seat depth and width, and whether you want loose back cushions or a firm, structured look.

Fabric quality matters. Look for covers made from weatherproof materials such as solution-dyed acrylic, polyester, or Olefin that resist fading and moisture. A removable, washable cover makes maintenance easy, while a non-slip backing keeps cushions in place in breezy conditions.

Filling options influence comfort and longevity. Quick-dry foam or high-density fibre provide support, retain shape, and dry quickly after rain. If you prefer a softer feel, look for a down-alternative fill that still dries efficiently and resists clumping in humid weather.

Weather resistance is crucial for UK gardens. Choose cushions with UV protection, fade resistance, and mildew-resistant fabrics. Windy days? Look for cushions with ties or screw-in clips to prevent them from blowing away.

The most common types include seat cushions for individual chairs, rectangular lounge cushions for settees, square back cushions, and lumbar cushions for extra support. Cushions with removable covers are ideal for seasonal changes, while integrated cushions on some rattan sofas create a cohesive look.

Many buyers pair rattan furniture cushions with protective outdoor cushions covers and storage solutions to protect from winter damp. Look for cushions designed for outdoor spaces that dry quickly and resist mould.

Regular maintenance extends the life of outdoor cushions. Brush off loose dirt, and spot clean stains with a mild soap solution and warm water. For removable covers, machine washing on a gentle cycle is often possible, check the care label for temperature limits and fabric considerations.

Dry the cushions completely before storing to prevent mildew. When not in use, store cushions in a dry, ventilated space or use breathable storage bags to protect from dust and weather. Rotating cushions helps even wear, keeping colour and shape uniform across the set.

Yes. Many rattan cushions feature weatherproof covers made from solution-dyed acrylic or high-performance polyester that repel moisture and resist fading from sun exposure. UV-resistant fabrics maintain vibrant colours, while quick-dry fillings reduce dampness after rain or dew.

For coastal or rainy areas, look for cushions with mildew-resistant finishes and non-slip backings or ties to keep them stable during breezy days. Weatherproof options let you enjoy outdoor living for longer seasons.

Start by measuring the seating area. For square or rectangular cushions, note width and depth; for curved or corner units, measure the longest and widest points, then compare with cushion dimensions. If possible, bring a tape measure outdoors to ensure accuracy in natural light.

Check seat depth: cushions should be slightly shallower than the seat to avoid overhang and to prevent tipping. If you need a back cushion, decide whether you want a tall lumbar support or a low-profile back to match the chair style.

When purchasing a full set, consider matching patterns or colours to create a cohesive look. Our Wowcher UK range includes a wide selection of sizes, so you’re likely to find cushions that fit your rattan furniture perfectly.

Mix textures and colours to evoke a personalised outdoor mood. Earthy neutrals pair well with natural looking rattan, while coastal blues or pastel tones can brighten a balcony. Look for striped, geometric, or botanical patterns to add interest without overwhelming the weave.

Coordinate with outdoor throws or blankets for cooler evenings, and use weatherproof storage for seasonal changes. A cohesive palette across garden cushions and patio cushions creates a polished look with minimal effort.

For long-lasting outdoor use, look for covers made from solution-dyed acrylic, polyester, or Olefin. These fabrics resist fading, repel moisture, and stay softer in sunlight. A tight weave and a good-quality zipper also contribute to durability. If you prioritise eco-friendly options, explore recycled polyester blends that still offer weather resistance.

Removable covers are often machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water. Always check the care label. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade the fabric. Air dry flat to maintain shape and avoid shrinking.

Many rattan cushions include removable covers for easy cleaning and seasonal changes. If you prefer a seamless look, you can also find fixed-cover cushions designed to last. Removable covers are especially handy for households with pets or little ones.

Outdoor cushions typically use quick-dry foam or high-density fibre for support and resilience. Quick-dry foam dries rapidly after rain, while fibre maintains a plush feel. Down-alternative fills offer a luxurious softness without the long-drying time of real down, making them suitable for damp climates.

Yes, if stored properly. Clean and completely dry cushions before packing them into a breathable bag or container. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from excessive moisture. Use breathable storage to prevent mould and keep colours vibrant for next season.
