Fabrics
Do you sell fabric by the yard?
Yes. You can go to our fabric by the yard page to view our entire listing of fabrics. Because the differences in computer monitors can change the appearance of fabric colors, we suggest ordering fabric swatches/samples before purchasing your fabric.

Our fabric is 54″ wide.

I received my fabric samples, but one of the fabrics isn’t listed on the website anymore. What happened to it?
If a fabric is no longer listed on our website, it is because that fabric is currently out of stock and is no longer available for orders.
The fabric doesn’t match the one that I see on the website… What’s wrong?
Because every computer monitor may present the fabric in a different way, we highly suggest that you order fabric samples so that you may see exactly what it looks like prior to ordering.
How do I find matching or coordinating fabrics?
We have several fabrics that coordinate with one another. You can click on the tab labeled “Coordinating fabrics” once you are in the product page for a fabric, but this may not completely list all of the fabrics that coordinate, as there are so many different variations that it would be very difficult to list them all. We suggest that you look through the entire list of fabrics, and order swatches to compare the coordinating colors yourself.
What is the difference in fabric materials?
All of the fabric on cushionconnection.com is designed for outdoor use. It is mold and mildew resistant, as well as uv resistant. However, there are differences in the quality of each fabric, and not all fabrics are suitable for every geographic region. The material types are further explained below:
Solution dyed acrylic (sunbrella & outdura fabrics)
Sunbrella and outdura are the name brands for the most durable and popular outdoor fabrics. They are constructed from solution dyed acrylic yarn and have a 5-year fade warranty. Solution dying is the process of adding color to the fabric while it is in a liquid state. The fabric is soft to the touch, and feels like canvas. This fabric is suitable for use in all geographic areas, and is the best value.
Solution dyed polyester
These fabrics are extremely durable, easy to clean and fade-resistant. The eight solid colors that we offer in this construction are exclusively sourced by cushionconnection.Com and offer a great value. This fabric is soft to the touch and you can expect these fabrics to resist fading very well. If you are looking for a basic color at a great price, this is the fabric for you.
Solution dyed jacquard
A jacquard is a fabric with an intricately woven pattern, as opposed to a pattern that is printed onto the fabric. Solution dyed polyester jacquards provide all of the benefits as solution dyed polyester fabrics, but in a beautifully woven design. These fabrics look and feel like indoor fabrics, but have the ability to withstand the sun.
Polyester/olefin jacquard
These woven patterns are created using polyester and olefin yarns, and provide both beauty and durability. They are easy to clean and will hold up well to the sun.
Printed polyester
These fabrics provide vibrant colors and design at an affordable price point. The fabric is printed with uv-repellant dyes on top of a durable polyester base. Depending on the level of sun exposure, these fabrics will fade quicker than solution dyed fabrics. Printed polyester fabrics are recommended for covered areas, sunrooms or for customers who will bring in their cushions when they are not in use.

I was absolutely delighted when I received my “carousel confetti” cushion for my Smith and Hawken teak bench. The cushion is very high quality material, easy to clean and is simply beautiful. It matches perfectly with the rest of the decor on my balcony, picking up some of the colors of other items I have on the balcony. I shopped for a very long time before choosing this cushion, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
