Is it good to cover outdoor sofa cushions? Is it waterproof and mildew resistant

It's outdoor fabric and seems like it would hold up for sure. I am using it in a bathroom. So far, no problems.

Yes, but it's a tight fit. My husband worried that they might mildew over the winter, so I store my cushions in a closet.

Even though this Poly-fil is machine washable, I think that you would want it encased in a water resistant fabric to prevent it from becoming water saturated, creating a medium for mold if it is not dried out promptly and thoroughly. Fairfield sells such a cushion with its Poly-fil being encased in a water resistant "shell" - Fairfield Weather Soft - but most are in the form of throw pillow sizes not necessarily outdoor furniture sizes....They can be found on Amazon.com or Fabric.com - Fairfieldworld.com-joann.com

Mine is destroyed after 2 years - kept inside in the winter, but not covered in the summer - I'm guessing UV is the culprit, but that hardly makes the sofa "all-weather" then does it...

Yes as far as i have found the water runs off the cushion in droplets, and stains so far have done the same thing with a quick rub of a damp cloth. There must be a weatherproof/spillproof coating on the cushion already..

Ours has been in many rainstorms. There has been only a very minimal amount of water that got in (teaspoons), and it was during a very heavy rainstorm. I have not had it in the winter yet, but plan or storing the cushions there.

Should work if the fading is because of water - not sure if it helps with UV fading from sunlight. I have used it on a backpack and it works well as a water proofing. However, there is a lingering vinegar smell that takes about a week to dissipate, so you will need to time the application to a time when you have 7 - 10 days where you won't need the cushions.

Yes it can. The water drains out. I did buy a cover though for winter and long stretches when I don't use it. But all materials seem to be made to withstand the elements. I also bought a storage trunk to put the cushions in on the deck. You can definetly leave them out but I figure they will last longer this way.

The cover has a vinyl backing which is probably water resistant but the outside feels more like heavy duty fabric and it repels water. I keep my patio furniture under our patio cover and I wouldn't expose it to the elements (e.g. rain) for too long:)

Yes chairs are a resin wicker which is water proof but the cushions are "weather resistant". You cant consider them water proof unless they don't retain any water when fully submerged.

They seem to be, yes. But with consistent rain and soaking, anything would get wet eventually. Just add a water repellant to the cushions every year. I bought covers from Home Depot and cover wen not in use bc we have so much pollen in the mid-Atlantic region.

Stephen, yes they are waterproof, tested many times this summer on the rainy east coast and not a drop of water on my new patio furniture cushions. They will fade in the sun, no big deal. After a few years you can discard and replace.

The covers are waterproof.I had no problem with it over the summer.I am not leaving it out for the winter so I'm not sure if it will crack or not.

Not sure but I would think it would be great for any outdoor furniture to repel water. I would stick to a fabric guard product for rugs such as Scotch Guard.

I bought this for my mom. I think she used it on cushions. I know she used it on an indoor rug with great success. Took the rug outside, washed it and let it dry in the sun. Now it's as good as new.
