Improves the livability of your cushion especially after exposure to moisture . The foam will dry almost immediately after exposure to rain, washing, melting snow, morning dew, salt spray or any other form of moisture. The large open pores allow maximum water drainage and air circulation so your cushions will dry faster, stay fresher and helps guard against mold and mildew growth.

This option works especially well when combined with a Mesh Bottom.

Provides an escape route for water and enables air circulation to keep cushions fresh.

Today's best performing outdoor fabrics are more water repellent than ever before. However once water gets into a cushion it must come out to enable drying and prevent molding. In the past you used to stand outdoor cushions up on end to allow water to drain out of the seams. However this is no longer necessary with a mesh bottom.

This option works especially well when combined with Dry Fast Foam.

Keeps Fabric From Fraying!

An unseen inside detail that extends the life of the cushion and keeps the fabric from fraying even if machine washed. The inside raw edges are sewn with an overlock stitch to keep the fabric from fraying. Please note: we do not normally recommend washing the casing because it is very difficult for the “do-it-yourselfer” to get the finished look that we obtain. However, if you do wish to machine wash your cushion, you MUST have the inner edges serged or the fabric will fail.

For Seams That Last A Lifetime!

Today's outdoor fabrics are lasting longer than ever before. In fact, when cushions fail, the first thing to go is usually the thread. The culprit is the inexpensive polyester threads or worse cotton threads that most manufacturers use. Over and Under, Inc. uses PTFE sewing threads. PTFE Sewing threads have two advantages over other threads:

1. They last a very long time even with exposure to UV sunlight, cleaning agents, saltwater and extreme weather.
2. They do not absorb dirt so they are very cleanable. If the thread looks dirty on your outdoor cushions you can be sure it is not PTFE.

W.L. Gore TENARA™ Sewing Thread is from the same manufacturers of GORTEX (well known for quality protective fabrics). TENARA is a branded PTFE sewing thread and it comes with a LIFETIME warranty guaranteed to outlast the fabric in which it is used. If you want a warranty against thread failure, against the first thing to fail, then choose this option. To prove your cushions are sewn with TENARA, each cushion will have a label of authenticity sewn in.

Provides an added layer of dryness protection.

The Sta-Dry Liner works in two ways: it facilitates fast drying by keeping water at the surface and prevents water moisture from “still wet” cushions from coming back through, similar to a disposable baby diaper. If you have ever felt a cushion on the surface that seemed dry only to find out after you sat on it that you were wrong, then you will appreciate the benefit of the Sta-Dri Liner.

ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS: If your cushion will be in an area that receives a lot of moisture AND very little air circulation or in constant shade we do not recommend the STA-DRY LINER as it difficult to get dry and will actually enable mold growth. In all other circumstances, the STA-DRY LINER will improve drying performance.

NOTE: If you order the optional Mesh Bottom and the Sta-Dry Liner we will sew the mesh into the Sta-Dry Liner as well as the cushion fabric at no additional charge.

Keeps your cushion looking new and feeling plush for the long run!

Most high quality cushions are manufactured with polyurethane foam wrapped with polyester fiber. The polyester fiber rounds out the edges, fills in the fabric cover and provides a more finished look. However, after only one season of normal use the polyester fiber will flatten and leave the cushion with wrinkles on the top surface fabric and an indentation where it has been compressed.

Replacing the polyester fiber with a Memory Foam topper will keep your cushion looking and feeling fresh and new for years to come. Because memory foam can absorb water, we only offer it with the STA-DRI LINER. To provide additional protection we include an extra layer of protective fabric between the STA-DRI LINER and the Memory Foam

Choose this option if your goal is LONG LASTING LUXURY.
