Best Outdoor Pillows

Maybe you are not considering decorating your patio in the middle of winter, when it’s cold and getting dark much too early. However, you may want to rethink that, as many summer things can be found discounted in the winter time, and if you start now and plan ahead then you’ll be all set up for summer.

While pillows are going to be a must for the patio, you are also going to need to have a place to put the cushions on. You also want to have a comfy environment to entertain guests or relax, so you might want to start with some appropriate patio furniture.

Consider chairs, loungers and sofas to go out on the patio that can be coupled with a nice coffee table or even a full patio table. You can even have a porch swing outside to place cushions all over and keep you comfy.

You can use the cushions just for comfort or you can put a few more out there as throw pillows the same way that you would indoors. This will give your outdoor space a bit more of a cozy, filled feeling to it.

Special Considerations For Compiling This List

  • Comfortable: The pillows you purchase are supposed to be protecting you and your furniture both short term and in the long run. The cushion protects the seat from scratches, scraping and wear and the cushion protects you from the uncomfortable, stiff seating which means it should be comfortable, not just cute.
  • Sturdy: I personally prefer pillows that can hold up to a lot of uses over a long period of time so that I do not have to redecorate every few months. It’s best if they can handle a little water and sun, but i also chose ones that will handle a machine wash as well.
  • Affordable: I created this list only out of affordable outdoor cushions and nothing overly priced because I personally believe in a good deal for the quality. Just because the price tag may be a little low, but that does not mean it is lacking in the actual quality of the product.
  • Stylish: I know you want to use these pillows outdoor, which can mean a variety of things, but one of the main ones would be to use it on the patio. For this reason I chose pillows that are stylish or easy to cover so that they can be decorative as well as useful.
  • Versatile: As I was searching i began to notice a pattern in that the best quality outdoor pillows are also good for indoors as well. This way your pillows are versatile and if you need to, you can bring it inside and use it there.

Final Thoughts

When you’re enjoying the outdoors, whether it is from the patio, the front porch or in the mountains somewhere, it is important to be comfortable. The pillows selected specifically for this list are designed more for patio usage, though you could take them with you on a camping expedition.

Make sure to read the care instructions on the labels of the pillows you purchase in order to clean and dry them properly. You can choose your own cover or casing for the pillows to switch up the design and decoration to match whatever style you are going for.
