If your balcony receives direct afternoon sun, the cushions on your urban outdoor furniture can indeed become uncomfortably hot to sit on. Dark-colored fabrics and certain materials like vinyl or low-quality foam absorb and retain significant heat. However, solutions exist. Opt for cushions made with breathable, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics or those with a mesh backing for better airflow. Light colors like beige, light grey, or white reflect more sunlight and stay cooler. For existing furniture, consider using a removable cover or storing cushions during peak sun hours. Adding a sun sail or umbrella can provide direct shade, significantly reducing heat absorption. With thoughtful material choices and simple shading strategies, you can enjoy your outdoor oasis even on the sunniest afternoons.
