When is custom-made an option?
With custom-made seat cushions you can make almost any piece of furniture in the garden and on the balcony more comfortable. But are tailor-made seat and lounger cushions always the better choice? For garden furniture in standard sizes, custom-made production is actually not absolutely necessary. When it comes to sun loungers, among other things, it is worth first taking a look at the ready-made cushions on offer, as their dimensions usually match. However, if it is furniture for outdoor seating such as a sofa, armchair or bench, then using a cushion configurator can save you time and effort.
Which material is suitable for seat cushions?
For a seat cushion, not only the cover but also the filling is important. While the former ensures the appearance and protection from the weather, the latter determines the comfort of sitting or lying down. Most cushion pads have a foam core that can be of different thicknesses depending on use and desire. As a rule, seat cushions for chairs are slightly thinner than those for loungers. However, if you order the cushions to measure, you can adjust the thickness to suit your individual needs.
Dralon is best suited as a cover material for seat cushions, as this material is particularly durable. It can perfectly repel water and dirt and at the same time does not lose its color and appearance due to UV rays and other weather conditions. Other suitable materials are polyester and cotton.
