Tufted Outdoor Chair Cushion

A long polyester seat pad at 45 x 85 cm, tufted through so the filling stays evenly distributed rather than migrating to one end. That tufting is what keeps a cushion comfortable after a season rather than collapsing into a thin pad at the back of the chair.

The length covers both the seat and the back of most patio and dining chairs in one piece, which means no separate back cushion to slide out of place. Polyester handles damp better than cotton, so an evening shower does not put the cushion out of action for two days. The tufting also stops the pad sliding around inside its cover, so it keeps its shape through a season of being sat on and stacked away rather than bunching at one end.

Six colours. Grey and light brown are the neutrals. Brown is the warmest. Green, blue and yellow read as a deliberate colour choice on a plain chair. It works equally well indoors on a dining chair or an office chair, where the extra padding makes a hard seat usable for longer. Bring cushions in over winter rather than leaving them out. Grey and light brown are the easiest to match against most outdoor furniture, since they read as neutral rather than as a colour choice in their own right.
