Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bench Cushion
Choosing the perfect bench cushion can be tough. With so many options for color, size, and material, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We've put together some expert tips to help you find the ideal cushion that fits your space and needs.
Where to use outdoor bench cushions?
- Exposed to sunlight, we tend to choose lighter-colored cushions to minimize the impact of fading. Unfortunately, there is currently no fabric that can guarantee no fading at all under prolonged sun exposure.
- Resting area after outdoor activities: Choose cushions with zippered or removable covers for easy cleaning and replacement.
- For use in damp places like chair under shape: Ensure the cushions can maintain their performance in various weather conditions, including being mold-resistant, moisture-resistant, and cold-resistant.
- Long-term exposure to sunlight like Boat/outdoor furniture set: Select cushions with fade-resistant colors to ensure they remain vibrant after prolonged use.
How to choose the right bench cushion thickness?
Bench cushions typically range from 2" to 5" thick.
- Choose 2"-3" for decorative use or short sitting periods.
- Select 4"-5" for long-term comfort, especially for wooden or metal benches.
- Thicker cushions also add a more luxurious look but may require deeper seat dimensions.
Tips for choosing the right color
- The cushion color should complement your furniture.
- Coordinate the cushion color with your landscaping and outdoor decor.
- Darker colors can hide stains better.
Tips for choosing fabrics
Durability and ease of maintenance are key.
- Polyester: Affordable, water-resistant, and fade-resistant.
- Acrylic (e.g., Sunbrella): Premium choice with excellent UV resistance and soft texture.
- Olefin: Great balance of performance and price — mildew-resistant and colorfast.
Look for removable, machine-washable covers for easier cleaning.
Tips for size
- To ensure the best fit, measure your seat between the arms and from the base of the back to the top of the chair. Subtract 3” from the back measurements to account for the chaise chair cushion. NOTE: foam seat cushion may not fit properly in curved.
- Standard lengths are 42", 48", or 60", but custom sizes are available.
- For non-standard or curved benches, consider custom-fit cushions for a tailored look and better comfort.
When Aril from Canonsburg, PA reached out for custom cushion advice, we offered a personalized solution tailored to her front-yard setup. Surrounded by blooming white flowers and a light, airy setting, her seating area called for something vibrant yet balanced. We recommended high-saturation cool tones to brighten the space and reflect her energetic style.
The result? A transformed bench area that feels fresh, inviting, and uniquely hers — whether indoors or out.
Right dimension
This case originated from Jam in Bothell, WA, who contacted us seeking advice on sizing. For the bench cushion, We suggested adding 0.5-1 into the length and width of the cushion to allow for a snug fit. To prevent the cushion from bulging and appearing unsightly, we advised taking multiple measurements for the depth and averaging them.
This case involved Sammy from Georgetown, who reached out to us seeking color advice before purchasing. The centerpiece of the space was undoubtedly the patterned blue tablecloth, so to maintain a unified look, we recommended staying within the same blue color palette. However, considering the indoor setting, we wanted to avoid colors that were too vibrant and would draw attention away from the guests. Therefore, we suggested a lower saturation blue to create a sense of hierarchy and contrast with the tabletop.
Listen to the designer's advice
Each cushion is —crafted for comfort and tailored for you.
Ideal seat height
For optimal seating comfort, the top of seat cushions should typically be positioned between 18" and 21" from the floor. Heights exceeding this range may prevent some individuals from comfortably resting their feet on the ground. To achieve the desired seating height, construct the platform or bench 14" to 17" above the ground, accommodating a cushion thickness of 2" to 4". This configuration ensures that the final seating height falls within the ideal range of 18" to 22".
Choose Right Color
- For indoor cushion, we recommend choosing neutral tones like black, white, or gray. These low-saturation colors won’t draw unnecessary attention away from the rest of your decor when guests enter the room, unless your home's primary color scheme features a bold, saturated hue.
- For outdoor cushions, we suggest opting for natural tones such as blues, greens, or yellows, which will complement the surrounding natural beauty and seamlessly blend with your outdoor environment.
Allow Ample Time
- If you are ordering cushions for a special occasion, please place your order 2-3 weeks in advance. As each RULAER cushion is custom-made and handcrafted, additional time is required for production. Rest assured, you can cancel your order without any obligation before production begins. We are confident that any refund requests will be handled promptly and smoothly.

What Our Customers Say
Ali
Great experience all around!
We really thought about ordering this many times. We couldn’t find any cushions in stores that would fit our outdoor couch. We were scared to order out of the country. We are very very happy we finally ordered! It was easy to pick all the choices and the cushions shipped and got here super fast. The quality is amazing! It’s so comfortable!!! We wish we bought it a year ago when we needed it. A++
Karen H
Nice bench cushion
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this cushion is. Color is perfect and looks like it should hold up well. Quickly formed to it's shape out of the bag. The cover needed to be ironed. Not a fan of the tie straps underneath but otherwise good.
Meg Earhart
Absolutely perfect!
We built our bed swing and needed a good cushion in a custom size and cam across this product. The ordering was easy and the company immediately confirmed everything. This wonderful cushion arrived much sooner than I expected and the color and every feature was exactly as specified. It's very comfortable! (I got a 5" depth) and the measurements were spot on so it fit perfectly! I could not be more happy!
