What do outdoor sofa cushions provide?
Cushions are accessories that can add value to a garden or terrace. They are pieces that delve into the feeling of warmth that the outdoor space must offer. In addition, they contribute things like the following.
Comfort
Outdoor sofa cushions multiply the comfort offered by the sofa itself. These are soft and fluffy pieces that offer a padded surface to support the head, legs or arms. In addition, in an outdoor environment such as a garden or terrace it seems that relaxation is even more accentuated.
Decoration
Without a doubt, outdoor sofa cushions always provide a very interesting aesthetic plus. In an outdoor area such as the garden, you can play with colours that connect even more with the natural environment.
It is also possible to provide a sense of continuity including. cushions similar to those in the interior room. Prints, stripes, or plain colors will always benefit a light-filled outdoor environment.
Warmth
The garden sofa is one of those places where it is always a pleasure to sit. After a day’s work, you always feel like recharging your batteries sitting in the garden. And if we add cushions to that feeling of welcoming, the environment becomes even more friendly and hospitable.
Functionality.
Finally, we do not want to miss the most practical aspect of outdoor sofa cushions. They are ideal for supporting the book we are reading or for leaving a plate with the 4 cookies for the snack. In addition, as they are for outdoor use, they are usually resistant in case something spills.
Fabrics and fillings
At Defora Home we give great importance to the fabrics and fillings of outdoor sofa cushions. First of all, we always work with materials of national origin and the manufacture is carried out by expert hands. The in-house manufacture of our cushions is one of our great commitments.
Fabrics. It is not lost on anyone that fabrics for outdoor sofa cushions must be resistant. They must withstand adverse weather and not deteriorate under rain, heat or wind. In addition, it is important that the covers are removable and can be easily washed in the washing machine. As they are placed on a garden furniture, they can be easily stained and that is why it is important that they can be easily sanitized.
Of course, outdoor fabrics must be pleasant to the touch. Ideally, they should be soft, light and provide elegance and style.
Fillings. For the cushion fillings for outdoor sofas, at Defora Home we use recycled polyester fibre. It is a sustainable material that also provides comfortable support. It is important that they maintain the structure and do not deform with use or the passage of time.
Shapes and colors
Outdoor cushions can be rectangular, square or round. There are also roll-shaped models that are perfect for the sides of the sofa. If the garden has a classic and traditional decoration it is a good idea to place cushions of the same size. In addition, if they all have the same color, that academic environment is even more emphasized. However, if you want to have a bolder environment, you want to place cushions of different colors and sizes. Of course, it is advisable not to abuse the chromatic range. The best thing is to combine, at most, 3 different colors.
On the other hand, if the outdoor sofa has a neutral color, you can add a touch of color with brightly colored cushions. On the other hand, if it is a green, red or yellow sofa, the ideal is to place cushions in a neutral tone. Remember that this is an outdoor sofa and the cushions can be linked to the natural environment. Green tones that refer to the freshness of plants or blues that refer to the water, the pool or the sea. Finally, ochres connect with that particular light of sunset.

Placing the cushions for outdoor sofa
Finally, we want to give you a hand on 2 eternal doubts. How to put the cushions on the sofa? and How many cushions to put up?
It’s simple. The number of cushions should always exceed the number of seats on the sofa by 1 or 2. When you place them, always start from the ends towards the center. If you put cushions in the corners and leave the center free, the sofa will look bigger. This will enhance the feeling of spaciousness of your garden. You can also put them in order from highest to lowest. The largest pieces at the back and the smaller ones at the front. In the center of the sofa also put the smaller cushions.
