Comparison: Best U Shaped Wicker Chair Cushions (Updated | Nov 9th)

Measure the inner dimensions of the seat from side to side and front to back, then compare them to the cushion specifications. Most cushions range from 18″ to 22″ square, with thicknesses between 3.9″ and 6″. For a snug fit, select a cushion whose dimensions are slightly smaller than the seat opening, allowing the straps to secure it without excess bulk.

Sunbrella‑covered cushions (e.g., the RSH Decor Sunbrella set) use solution‑dyed acrylic that resists fading, water, and mildew for up to five years. Polyester‑based cushions, like those from Wadser and most RSH Decor models, offer good water resistance and colorfastness but may fade faster under intense sun. For the harshest outdoor conditions, Sunbrella is the premium choice, while polyester provides solid performance at a lower price.

Thickness and fill type are key; cushions with a 6‑inch thickness and hypoallergenic hospitality‑grade fiberfill (found in the RSH Decor and Sunbrella sets) deliver deep cushioning and orthopedic support. The Jaysydd cushions use a 4.5‑inch tufted PP cotton that is also plush but slightly thinner. If maximum softness is a priority, opt for the 6‑inch thick, fiber‑filled options.

All listed cushions are spot‑cleanable with mild soap and water; the Sunbrella and polyester fabrics dry quickly and resist stains. The Tesica and Eoieov models also mention easy wipe‑down cleaning, while Jaysydd highlights a simple damp‑cloth wipe. For the best longevity, store or cover cushions during heavy rain and avoid machine washing.

Most cushions include full‑length straps or adjustable ties that attach to the chair frame, preventing slipping. Wadser specifically notes non‑slip design, and Jaysydd emphasizes reinforced ties for windy days. Choosing a cushion with sturdy straps and ensuring they are properly fastened will keep the cushion secure.

Sunbrella‑covered cushions command a higher price due to their superior UV resistance and five‑year warranty, offering long‑term value for exposed patios. Polyester options like Wadser and RSH Decor provide a balance of durability and affordability, suitable for seasonal use. Budget‑friendly sets such as Tesica and Eoieov still deliver comfort and basic weather resistance but may require more frequent replacement.

Yes, most cushions are versatile enough for indoor use; the Tesica and Eoieov models explicitly market themselves as indoor‑outdoor. However, indoor use may expose them to less harsh conditions, extending their lifespan. Just be aware that cushions with heavy water‑resistant fabrics may feel slightly stiffer indoors until they are fully aired out.

All cushions are shipped compressed to reduce packaging size, so they may appear flat and feel less fluffy initially. Allow 2‑3 days (or up to a week for thicker fills) for the foam to expand fully, and lightly pat or sun‑expose them to speed up recovery. Once fully expanded, the cushions will regain their intended thickness and softness.
