After years of relaxing on your lounge set in the garden, you may notice that the cushions have seen better days. Perhaps they have faded in the sun, lost their shape, or have stains and mould from unexpected rain showers. Familiar? Don't worry! In many cases, you don't need to buy a completely new lounge set straight away. By simply replacing the cushions, your lounge set can look like new again and last for many more years. In this blog, we give you handy tips and show you what to look out for when replacing your lounge cushions.
When is it time to replace your cushions?
Replacing your lounge cushions is a good idea if you encounter one or more of the following problems:
Damaged cushion covers: Tears, loose seams or fraying look untidy and reduce comfort.
Discolouration: If your cushions are often in the sun, they can lose their colour and look dull.
Sagging cushions: Have the cushions lost their elasticity and are they sagging? Time for new filling!
Stains and mould: Damp cushions can develop mould and stubborn stains that are difficult to remove.

How do you measure your lounge set for new cushions?
Before you order new cushions, it's important to take the correct measurements. This way you can be sure they will fit properly!
- Length and width: Measure the seating area of your lounge set from left to right and from front to back.
- Thickness: Also check the thickness of the current cushions for comparable comfort.
Write down these measurements so you can search for suitable cushions with purpose.

If your lounge set is from a well-known brand, you can often easily reorder new cushions or cushion covers. At Boender Outdoor Garden Furniture, we're happy to help. Contact our customer service to see what the options are!
