reticulated foam for outdoor

Why Reticulated Foam Belongs Outside

If your patio cushions stay soggy for days after a storm, reticulated foam for outdoor seating is the upgrade you need. Unlike standard upholstery foam, which soaks up water like a sponge, reticulated foam has a very open-cell structure that lets rain and moisture drain straight through. Air moves freely inside it too, so cushions dry quickly and are less likely to trap the dampness that leads to mildew and odors.

Where to Use It

This quick dry foam is a smart choice anywhere seating gets wet:

• Patio chairs, chaise lounges and outdoor sofas
• Boat seats and marine cushions
• Poolside loungers and deck benches
• Porch swings and garden furniture

What to Look For

Thickness and Firmness

Match thickness to the job: thicker pieces suit deep seat cushions, while thinner cuts work for backs and pads. Consider how firm you want the seat to feel.

Pair It With the Right Fabric

For the best results, cover your outdoor cushion foam with breathable, water-resistant outdoor fabric so water can escape rather than pool inside.
