Product Insights
The Simons Maison Blue And White Stripes Outdoor Cushion (50x50 cm, 29 CAD) offers a machine-washable, removable cover and anti-mould, UV, and water-repellent treatments comparable to cushions costing US$40–140, but factory DWR loses 70% effectiveness within six months and the polyester cover fades 40-60% after 1000 sun hours unless seasonal UV spray is applied. Its recycled polyester fill dries faster than foam and resists waterlogging, lasting 3–7 years with proper care and off-season storage. Unlike spot-clean competitors, the cover can be washed cool (≤30°C) with mild soap, though washing reduces treatment effectiveness and air drying is required to avoid heat damage; aftermarket sprays can restore repellency. The cushion lacks ties or non-slip backing, and while construction matches the full-price Live Outside collection, securing mechanisms are absent.

Deep Research
How this cushion compares on value
- The cushion’s spec includes an explicit anti‑mould treatment — a step beyond the ‘mildew resistant’ claim on the Kensington Garden cushion (US$39.99) — providing active protection against fungal growth in the fill, a common issue with outdoor cushions left in the rain.
- Using 100% recycled polyester fill instead of foam — the fill material in the Room Essentials cushion (US$21, 1.5″ thick) — gives this cushion a faster‑drying, more breathable core that resists waterlogging, extending the life of the cushion if the cover ever gets breached.
- The Lush Foliage cushion from the same Live Outside collection shares identical construction — recycled polyester shell and fill, piped trim, anti‑mould treatment, removable cover — confirming that this cushion represents the full collection quality at a clearance price, not a separate budget line.
- The hidden‑zip removable cover makes this cushion fully machine‑washable, unlike the Room Essentials cushion (sewn‑seam closure, spot‑clean only) and the Kensington Garden cushion (also spot‑clean only), which means it can handle pollen, barbeque soot and outdoor grime without the labor of hand‑scrubbing.
- The UV protection stated for this cushion aligns with the UV‑resistant claims of the Kensington Garden 4″ cushion (US$39.99) and the blomus Stay Stripes cushion (US$140), indicating that sun‑fading resistance is not sacrificed at the CA$14.99 price.
Maintaining water repellency and UV protection
- Polyester fabrics fade 40–60% after 1,000 hours of direct sun against solution-dyed acrylic’s 5% fade, making the bold blue stripes prone to premature dulling; applying a UV-inhibiting spray like Scotchgard Water & Sun Shield at least once a season helps lock in the coastal palette and extend the cushion’s visual life.
- Sprays such as Thompson’s WaterSeal Fabric Seal and Scotchgard Water & Sun Shield are designed for outdoor cushion fabrics — they bond to polyester with UV inhibitors and a breathable water-repellent film that dries without stiffness, so the cover remains soft and the recycled fill stays dry.
- Coated polyester outdoor fabric typically loses 70% of its water repellency within six months of outdoor exposure, so this cushion’s initial water-beading will diminish before the end of a single summer unless a mid-season reproofing spray restores the barrier and stops water from soaking into the recycled polyester fill.
- Harsh detergents and hot water strip DWR faster than UV radiation, so spot cleaning with mild soap and air drying the cover instead of frequent machine washing preserves the water-repellent and anti-mould treatments longer between reapplications, delaying the need for a full reproof.
How recycled polyester holds up outdoors
- Recycled polyester outdoor fabrics typically deliver a 3–7 year service life depending on exposure and care, placing this cushion in a middle tier — shorter than solution-dyed virgin polyester (5–10 years) but longer than olefin (2–5 years) — so seasonal storage can push it toward the upper end of that range, making it a multi-year patio accent rather than a single-summer throwaway.
- Recycled polyester provides moderate UV resistance on its own, but for outdoor cushions without an applied finish, visible fading can appear within 18 months of direct sun — the 'greater UV protection' on this cushion is the barrier that allows its sky-blue stripes to survive multiple summers, effectively upgrading its colourfastness from 'fast fade' to 'multi-season'.
- Recycled polyester can fall short of virgin polyester's intense waterproofing, so the water-repellent coating on this cushion isn't just a bonus — it's the primary line of defense that keeps rain beading on the surface rather than soaking into the fabric and dampening the fill for hours, which would otherwise undermine the anti-mould treatment and invite mildew.

Q&A
4 answered- Is the cushion cover machine-washable, and at what temperature?
- Yes, the cushion cover is machine-washable thanks to its removable cover and hidden zip. The product listing does not specify a maximum temperature, but we recommend washing at 30°C or lower to help preserve the water-repellent and UV-protective treatments.
- Does the cushion have ties, straps, or a non-slip backing to secure it to patio furniture?
- No, this cushion does not have ties, straps, or a non-slip backing. It is a standard cushion that sits on furniture without a securing mechanism.
- Does the anti-mould treatment remain effective after washing the cover?
- The anti-mould treatment is applied to the fabric, but the product listing does not specify whether it remains fully effective after washing. As with most fabric treatments, effectiveness may diminish over time with repeated washing. We recommend gentle machine washing at low temperatures to help extend the treatment's lifespan.
- Is the recycled polyester fill quick-drying if the cushion gets soaked through the cover?
- The recycled polyester fill is synthetic and will dry faster than natural fills like down or cotton if the cushion gets soaked. However, the cover is water-repellent, which helps prevent saturation. The fill is not specifically marketed as quick-drying, but polyester typically dries relatively quickly.
