quick dry foam cushion

A quick dry foam cushion is the easiest way to keep outdoor seating comfortable after a rainstorm, a pool splash or a day on the water. Unlike standard upholstery foam, which soaks up moisture like a sponge, quick dry foam has an open-cell structure that lets water drain straight through, so your cushions are ready to use again sooner.

Why Choose Quick Dry Foam Outdoors

Often called reticulated foam or open-cell foam, this material lets air move freely through the core. That airflow helps the cushion dry faster and helps discourage the musty smells that build up in foam that stays damp.

Where It Works Best

• Patio chairs, chaise lounges and outdoor sofas
• Boat seats and other marine cushions
• Poolside benches and daybeds
• Porch swings and window seats in humid rooms

What to Look For

Match the foam thickness and firmness to how the seat will be used, and pair it with a breathable outdoor fabric so water can escape through the cover too. Mesh panels or a drainage-friendly zipper side add even more airflow.
