When you fall in love with a beautiful swing bed, it’s easy to focus on the bed frame itself—the design, the finish, the curves. But once it's hanging, you'll quickly realize something else plays a starring role: the cushions. And if you’ve started shopping for outdoor bed cushions or swing bed cushions, you’ve likely done a double take at the price.
Yes, premium outdoor cushions can sometimes cost as much as the bed. But there's a very good reason for that. Let’s break it down.
Not Just a Pretty Cover: What You're Really Paying For
At Easy Breezy Porch Swings, we know firsthand that cushions aren’t just decorative—they are the heart of your comfort. Unlike indoor cushions, outdoor cushions must stand up to the elements: sun, rain, wind, spills, pollen, and even mildew.
That’s why we use Sunbrella fabric, the gold standard in outdoor textiles. It’s:
- UV-resistant (no fading, even in blazing sun),
- Mildew-resistant (even in humid climates),
- Water-repellent and fast-drying,
- Stain-resistant and easy to clean (even red wine wipes off with a cloth),
- And most importantly, it holds its shape and softness for years.
That longevity translates directly into value—because you’re not replacing these cushions every season.
The Anatomy of Premium Swing Bed Cushions
Think of your swing bed like a high-end mattress: the experience isn’t complete without the right top layer.
Our swing bed cushions are handcrafted to match your bed dimensions, offering:
- Generous thickness for plush support
- High-density foam cores that won’t flatten over time
- Carefully tailored covers with strong stitching for durability
- Optional matching pillows and bolsters to finish the look
And because we believe comfort should be beautiful too, you can choose from dozens of Sunbrella fabric options to match your style and space.
Why Cheaper Alternatives End Up Costing More
Sure, you can find lower-priced outdoor cushions online. But there’s a reason they come with disclaimers like “not for direct sunlight” or “store indoors when not in use.”
Cheaper fabrics often:
- Fade within months
- Absorb water and grow mold (which smells terrible and is bad for your health)
- Develop hard, compacted foam
- Tear at seams or lose shape quickly
All of which means you'll likely replace them again—and again. That’s money (and time) better spent on something made to last.
The Real ROI: Daily Joy and Long-Term Savings
Buying a swing bed is a decision to slow down and enjoy life outdoors. Investing in top-quality outdoor bed cushions ensures that experience is as comfortable as it is stylish, year after year.
Imagine this: warm afternoons curled up with a book. Lazy weekend naps. Guests lounging and admiring your beautiful porch setup. It’s all possible—if your cushions invite you to linger.
