Outdoor cushions add comfort and colour to garden seating, and this collection features waterproof seat and chair cushion sets built for life outside. Designed to resist rain and everyday use, they let you soften hard chairs and benches without rushing to bring them in at the first shower.
Water-resistant fabrics shed light rain and wipe clean, while filled pads provide support underneath and behind you. Sets cover multiple chairs at once, making it easy to coordinate the look across a dining set or lounge suite.
Whether you are refreshing tired furniture or adding cushioning to a new set, weatherproof outdoor cushions help you stay comfortable through longer spells in the garden.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.
The covers use water-resistant coated fabric that repels showers and wipes clean easily, so brief rain will not soak straight through. They are shower-proof rather than fully submersible, however, so for heavy or prolonged rain it is still best to bring them indoors or store them in a cushion box. Standing water should be shaken off promptly to protect the filling.
Many outdoor seat and chair cushion sets include fabric ties or straps that secure them to the chair frame, stopping them slipping or blowing off in a breeze. This keeps seating tidy and comfortable, particularly on exposed patios and balconies. Check the product details for tie placement, and fasten them to the chair back or legs so the cushions stay put.
Measure your seat depth, width and, for backrest pads, the height before ordering, then compare against the cushion dimensions listed. Standard seat pads suit most typical garden and bistro chairs, but sizes vary, so checking avoids overhang or gaps. If your chairs are an unusual shape, a slightly generous fit held on with ties usually looks and feels better than one too small.
Water-resistant cushions can cope with light overnight dew and the occasional shower, but leaving them out constantly shortens their life through damp, dew and UV fading. The best routine is to store them in a waterproof cushion box or bring them indoors when not in use, especially over winter. This keeps them fresh, dry and comfortable for far longer.
Wipe the coated covers with warm soapy water and a sponge for everyday marks, rinsing off residue and letting them air dry fully before use. Some covers unzip for washing, so check the care label first. Avoid harsh solvents that can strip the water-resistant finish. Storing them dry between uses prevents mildew and keeps the fabric looking clean throughout the season.
