Patio pillows & toss cushions(1000+)

When choosing outdoor toss cushions and pillows, look for fabrics designed to withstand Canada’s varied weather. Polyester, olefin, and acrylic materials are top picks, they resist fading, moisture, and mildew while staying soft and durable. Avoid untreated cotton or linen, as they tend to absorb water, fade quickly, and develop mould or odours over time. Also, select cushions with UV-resistant coatings and quick-dry fillings to extend their life. Durable stitching and removable, zippered covers make seasonal upkeep much easier. The right materials will keep your outdoor seating area looking fresh and inviting season after season.

To clean outdoor toss cushions and pillows, start by brushing off loose dirt or debris. Most removable covers can be machine-washed in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent, always check the care label first. For non-removable covers, mix a mild soap solution and scrub gently with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with a hose. Let cushions air-dry completely in a shaded area to prevent fading or mildew. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or power washing, which can damage fabric coatings. For regular maintenance, spot-clean spills promptly and store cushions indoors or in a dry container when not in use. Keeping them clean throughout the season helps extend their life and keeps your outdoor space feeling fresh and comfortable.

Prevent outdoor toss cushions and pillows from blowing away by using non-slip pads, cushion clips, or tie-down straps to secure them to furniture. Some designs come with built-in ties or Velcro fasteners for extra hold. You can also use weighted inserts or grip mats underneath to keep cushions in place on windy days. If strong winds are expected, it’s best to store them indoors or in a deck box when not in use. Choosing slightly heavier cushions or moisture-resistant fills can also help reduce movement. Regularly checking attachments and repositioning cushions ensures they stay put and maintain your patio’s tidy, stylish look, even when the weather shifts.
