QUALITY UPGRADES

Custom outdoor cushions and replacement outdoor cushions start with Sunbrella® fabric. Yet quality outdoor cushions go beyond Sunbrella® outdoor cushion material.

Your highest priced outdoor cushions are not always the best. During our 30 years in business, we've always taken the time to point out quality features, so here goes....

QUALITY OUTDOOR CUSHIONS 101:
Quality goes beyond fabric & fit!
Most customers focus on fabric selection and fit. Foundation and construction of an outdoor cushion should never be ignored. You don't put expensive carpet on a cheap pad. You don't put sunbrella fabric on cheap fill material. Moreover, you don't sew an outdoor cushion like a sack of potatoes.

Most websites focus on fabric selection and dimensions -- Quality outdoor cushions involve:
• Will my outdoor cushion be comfortable?
• Will my outdoor cushion last?
• Will my outdoor cushion look good / professional?

Quality upgrades involve Sew Pattern, Specialty Fabrics, Removable (hidden) Ties, Reticulated Foam, Piping (cording), Better Foam, Thicker Cushions, Firmness Options, Headrests, Buttons - - We Do It All!

These upgrade options are included on the order form.

COMFORT
How do you know that the outdoor cushion you're ordering won't be "rock hard" or marshmallow soft? A comfortable outdoor cushion has multi-layers of high density outdoor foam with a final wrap of fiber. Cumulus fill (alone) can be very hard if it's going to provide adequate support. Cheap foam (alone) will feel "spongy", absorb water and "bottom-out". The proper combination of high density foam & fiber will provide the firmness/comfort level you desire. We offer 5 options.

DURABILITY
Multi layer foam provides reflex so your outdoor cushion will hold its shape for years. Cumulus fill breaks down/sags over time. Don't settle for anything less than high density outdoor foam.

CONSTRUCTION
Sew pattern is a critical quality factor. Look at the cushions of a quality outdoor furniture manufacturer such as: www.owlee.com (click here). Notice that most of their outdoor cushions are bullnose. Bullnose uses a continuous piece of fabric for top and bottom of seat. (No seams @ front to break or tear). We prefer this pattern and don't upcharge for it. We do upcharge for box & welt because more labor is involved (because a box cushion has more seams). Box & welt is a stylistic
factor, not a quality factor. (P.S. some cushion manufacturers sew "box" with a single side seam; you sew a sack of potatoes this way -- not a quality outdoor cushion). Finally, quality thread must be used. Our thread is made in USA. Over the years, we've re-sewn hundreds of Sunbrella® cushions where another cushion manufacturer used imported thread. These cushions usually "fall apart" in less than 2 years.

VALUE
Quality is never cheap. Shopping online for outdoor cushions should save you money -- unless quality standards are subordinated. We don't use superlatives to describe our quality. We simply set the standard & invite you to go shopping/compare.

We guarantee the lowest price for the same quality standards -- that's value. You can easily find higher prices on-line. Ironically, you're frequently paying more money for mediocre quality. Sometimes you don't get what you pay for.

THE ULTIMATE CUSHION

Customer Request: "Steamer Chair" Cushions for Cruise Ship Line

REQUIREMENTS	SOLUTION
• Withstand Salt Air, Blazing Sun	• Sunbrella Fabric
• Drain/Dry Out Fast	• Reticulated Foam
• Extremely Durable	• Bullnose Sew Pattern
• Stay Cool in Sun	• Lighter Color Fabric; Add Fiber for Airation
• Hide Stains	• Use Stripe; Not Solid Fabric (Sunbrella® is stain resistant)
• Reduce Replacement Costs	• Make 2 Piece - Replace One; Keep Other
• Ultimate Comfort	• Reticulated Foam - Multi Layer; Add Headrest / Pillow

Reticulated foam is "HONEY-COMB" with holes for comfort & drainage. It's very expensive (adds 50% to cushion cost), but in this case it paid for itself. We don't dare include this option in our general pricing, but for those who desire the ultimate in quality we can clearly accomodate - - you get what you pay for; when you know what you're getting. Sunbrella® fabric is a good start, but sew pattern, type of fill material, and construction options are critical quality features that should never be ignored.
