One dilemma that many patio furniture owners face comes when their patio cushions need to be replaced. This decision comes at a crossroads that is more difficult to navigate than most people think. Many question whether buying expensive replacement cushions is worth the money, or if going with the cheaper ones is the better option. In most cases, the cheaper cushions are the ones that get called upon to do the job. However, this may not be the best decision. Here are a few reasons why you should avoid going too cheap on your patio furniture cushion replacement.
Uncomfortable
Relaxing outside in comfort is one of the main reasons why people have outdoor furniture in the first place. Replacing your old cushions with cheap ones eliminates this factor. Many cheap furniture cushions are hard, scratchy, and rough. This roughness and hardness may not seem too bad at first, but after a while you will feel more like you are sitting on a hard chair than a comfortable piece of patio furniture.
Less Likely to Match Patio Design
The cheaper patio cushions are, the less variability of design will be available. Most of the cheap cushion options come in generic colors and many come without fabric designs. By spending just a little bit more, your cushions will be able to look more in tune with the rest of your patio design.
Not Durable
The biggest reason not to go cheap with your cushions is that they are not durable! Cheaper cushions do not handle harsh weather too well. The sun, rain, or other weather elements can make these cushions crack, wear, and tear very easily. In order for patio cushions to be able to take the wear and tear of all kinds of weather elements, their fabrics need to be sturdy and fade resistant. It is also important though, to understand that patio cushions should never be left out in the harsh elements when they are not being used, or when the seasons change.
