1. Fit, thickness and ties
Match length and depth to the bench top. Thicker foam feels plush; thinner pads suit slim metal benches. Use ties or grippy backs in windy courtyards.
2. Fabric and foam for UV and rain
Choose outdoor-rated covers and quick-dry foam. Dark colours hide dirt; lighter tones stay cooler in full sun. Removable zips simplify washing.
3. Benches, swings and storage seats
Garden benches, canopy swings and storage benches all use cushions differently. Confirm whether the listing includes cushions or sells frames only.
4. Care through wet seasons
Shake off water, dry in shade, and store cushions indoors during storms. Spot-clean spills promptly so mould does not set in seams.
