Sunbrella cushions: Can they stand up to rain? archived

We purchased patio furniture with Sunbrella fabric last year. The cushions are thick like indoor furniture. It did get rained on a couple of times and the cushions and fabric held up well...however, the foam core of the cushions held a ton of water that I had to squeeze out and it took forever to dry. We got covers for the furniture that are easy enough to throw over when not in use or when we know its going to rain. I would imagine that over time you might have problems with mold in the foam if they were repeatedly exposed to the rain. Just get the covers and you should be fine.

Copied from their website-

"From the baking sun to endless rain, furniture featuring Sunbrella fabric looks great in any season, and is backed by the best limited warranty in the business."

fyi The fabric will hold up just like they say...It's the insides of the cushions you need to be concerned with. Check what "they" stuff it with.

Thanks so much for your comments.
