So here comes the bench cushion. Cushions can also help in prolonging the life of the bench itself. Choosing to place a cushion on a bench involves several factors. It is a matter of choosing the right cushion for the bench in the right place. It is practical to place a cushion on outdoor benches because this is perhaps where you would sit the longest compared to the other benches around the house.

For outdoor benches, the cushion should be resistant to the elements - wind, sunlight, rain, dust, and even to insects. One good material for the cushion of an outdoor bench is the Sunbrella fabric. Outdoor cushions should be the most durable among the bench cushions that you buy.

If you already have a bench outside that is made of metal, the bench cushion can help in minimizing the heat on the seat, especially if you plan to use it at noontime. In the case of indoor benches, the factor of comfort and style supersedes that of durability. In general, nowadays, bench cushions are manufactured according to where it will be used.
