Gardenista Garden Bench Pad Review
The Gardenista Garden Bench Pad is a simple and stylish bench cushion available in a huge range of colours to any style of garden. Choose from black, blue, pink, purple, stone and so much more. It adds a traditional and comfortable finish to a 2 seater garden bench.
This cushion is water resistant so can withstand spillages and a few drops of rain. However, it will need to be taken inside during rain storms. It’s fire retardant and machine washable, retaining its bright colour even after multiple washes.

Pillow Perfect Outdoor Wicker Loveseat Cushion Review
The Pillow Perfect Loveseat Cushion comes in a gorgeous blue and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. These cushions won’t fade in bright sunlight and have a comfortable fill that you can sit on for hours.
Easy to care for, this cushion can be lightly spot cleaned or hand washed with a mild detergent, then allowed to air dry. The cushion is fully hand crafted and is exceptional quality, but should be looked after to elongate its lifespan.
How to Choose The Best Outdoor Bench Cushion
A bench is a garden staple but if you’re going to appreciate it in all its glory, you need the best outdoor bench cushions. There’s a huge range on the market, but choosing the most comfortable and long lasting cushions can be tricky. Outdoor cushions need to be durable, weather resistant and comfortable to sit on. Here’s what to look for.
Design
Bench cushions are available in a range of designs and colours to suit any garden. Thick handmade cushions will be more expensive but comfortable, while cheaper cushions may be easier to care for but basic in design.
Comfort
Garden benches aren’t the most comfortable of furniture, but a comfortable cushion can make them a lot nicer to sit on. Look for a thick foam or polyester cushion that won’t flatten over time.
Material Quality
Great quality fabric is essential, as this will ensure your cushion lasts for longer. Go for a cushion that’s either water resistant or fully waterproof like the iStyle Mode Outdoor Bench Cushion, as well as one that won’t fade in bright sunlight. Most cushions will need to be brought inside during heavy rainstorms.
Ease of Cleaning
Machine washable cushions are easy to care for, but hand made cushions like Pillow Perfect Loveseat Cushion may need to be spot cleaned and air dried. If you’re expecting a few spillages (for example if you have kids around!) a machine washable cushion is essential.
Conclusion
A good outdoor bench cushion can add a lot to the look of your garden, as well as providing you with a comfortable spot to sit and read. The Gardenista Garden Bench Pad is our top choice, thanks to the lightweight design, ease of cleaning and range of bright colours available.
