Determining cushion comfort before purchasing outdoor furniture requires careful evaluation of several factors. Start by examining the cushion filling density - high-density foam typically offers better support and longevity than low-density alternatives. When possible, perform a simple sit test in stores to assess firmness and support. Check the cushion thickness; generally, 4-6 inch thick cushions provide optimal comfort for seating. Consider the core materials: quick-dry foam, polyester fiberfill, and recycled plastic fillings each have different comfort characteristics and weather resistance. Look for cushions with multiple layers of different materials, as these often provide superior comfort through combined support and softness. Don't forget to evaluate the fabric - outdoor-rated textiles should feel comfortable against skin while offering durability. Research the cushion's recovery time after compression, as this indicates how well it will maintain shape over time. Remember that cushion covers affect both comfort and maintenance; removable, machine-washable covers are practical for long-term use. Consider your climate when selecting materials, as humidity and temperature variations impact both comfort and durability. Reading detailed product specifications about foam density (measured in weight per cubic foot) can reveal much about expected comfort levels. If shopping online, look for customer reviews specifically mentioning comfort over time, not just initial impressions.
