The last thing that I can think of as it relates to patio furniture cushions is flashiness.  But, you know how it is.  You browse online or go looking at the local home improvement store and there are all sorts of cushions to choose from. You think you have to get these ones because they have this particular type of pattern or that one because of the custom piping around the edges.

These can all be great qualities to look for in custom cushions, just don’t forget about the feel.  These things should feel great on your rear end and back when you sit on them.  I know, sounds obvious, but you would be surprised how often fashion takes precedence over function with a lot of outdoor patio accessories.  Don’t be fooled, always go for function first and fashion second.  You never know when a style will go out of fashion, but comfort never does.
