outdoor ottoman fabric
The right outdoor ottoman fabric can turn a tired patio footrest into a piece that looks fresh season after season. Ottomans take more wear than almost any other outdoor seat. They get used as footrests and extra seating, and sometimes as a spot to set down a drink. That means the fabric has to handle sun, moisture and constant rubbing without fading or tearing.
What to Look for in Patio Ottoman Fabric
Sun and Fade Resistance
Look for UV-resistant outdoor fabric, especially solution-dyed acrylic or polyester. In solution-dyed fabric, the color goes all the way through the fibers, so it holds up much better in direct sun.
Water and Mildew Protection
A water-repellent finish helps rain bead up and roll off. Choosing fabric that resists mildew also keeps cushions from developing musty spots in humid weather.
Durability and Easy Care
Medium- to heavy-weight outdoor upholstery fabric holds its shape on cushions and tufted tops. Many of these fabrics can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water.
