The short answer is: it's best to bring them in. While many modern outdoor cushions are designed to be weather-resistant, they are not fully waterproof or immune to long-term damage from consistent moisture. Leaving cushions out in the rain can lead to several issues. The inner foam filling can absorb water, becoming heavy and slow to dry, which promotes mold and mildew growth. Persistent wetness can also break down the foam, causing it to lose its shape and support. Furthermore, constant exposure to UV rays and water can fade fabrics and weaken fibers over time. For true longevity, store cushions in a dry place or use a dedicated waterproof storage box when rain is forecast. If you must leave them outside, invest in high-quality, quick-dry cushions with removable covers and always use a fitted, waterproof furniture cover designed for your specific set. Regularly cleaning and thoroughly air-drying cushions after any exposure is also crucial for maintaining their appearance and hygiene.
