Listings use several fill types: polyurethane foams (including high-density and 28D foam), polyester-based fills (100% polyester fiber or polyester foam), natural/cotton blends (e.g., 95% cotton), and in one case olefin listed as the fill. Foam and polyester are the most common options.
Cover fabrics include olefin, cotton, acrylic, polyester, and recycled polyester. Several listings specify 100% Olefin, 95% Cotton, 100% Acrylic, 100% Polyester, or 100% Recycled Polyester.
Common protective features are water-resistant or waterproof fabrics, UV- and fade-resistance, and general 'all‑weather' or 'intended for outdoor use' labeling. Some listings still advise keeping cushions away from prolonged rain exposure.
Options include zippered, removable covers (allowing cover removal for cleaning) and sewn-seam, non-removable cushions. Several listings explicitly note a zipper for cover removal; others are sold as fixed, sewn cushions.
Available thicknesses span from slim 2" cushions to medium 3"–4" options and thicker styles around 5.75"–6" for a plush feel. Examples in the listings include 2", ~3–3.25", 4", 5.75", and 6".
Many cushions include attachment features such as tied corners, attached ties, or back ties. Bench pads can list multiple ties (for example, six ties) to secure the cushion to the furniture frame.
Cushions are sold as single pieces and in multi-piece sets. Common 'Number of Pieces' options shown include 1-piece, 2-piece, 3-piece, and 6-piece sets.
Several listings note vacuum-compression packaging. After unpacking, cushions typically need around 2 hours or more to recover their shape; some descriptions suggest using a hair dryer to speed the process.
