FAQs
Are these cushions waterproof?
The Rackhams Garden Cushions are water-resistant due to their 180g polyester material, meaning they can repel light rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and may become saturated in heavy or prolonged downpours. It is best to dry them thoroughly after exposure to significant moisture.
How do I clean the cushions?
Cleaning is simple: use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for most dirt and spills. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Always allow the cushions to air dry completely.
What does 'D Pad' mean for compatibility?
'D Pad' typically refers to the shape of the cushion, designed to fit chairs that have a distinct back and seat, often resembling a 'D' shape when viewed from the side. They are generally suitable for standard garden chairs and dining sets.
Can I leave these cushions outside all year round?
The cushions are designed for outdoor use and are resistant to rot and fading. However, for maximum longevity, it is advisable to store them in a dry, protected place during harsh winter weather or extended periods of non-use.
What material are the cushions made of?
The cushions are crafted from 180g polyester, which provides excellent resistance to rot, fading, and stains.
Does this purchase include one cushion or a set?
This purchase includes a set of two Rackhams Garden Cushions.
Can I buy individual cushions if I only need one?
These cushions are sold exclusively as a set of two.
Troubleshooting
Cushions appear faded after some use.
While the material is fade-resistant, prolonged direct sun exposure can eventually cause some fading. Rotating cushions or storing them when not in use can help minimize this.
Water seems to be soaking through the cushion.
The fabric is water-resistant, not waterproof. Heavy or prolonged rain may saturate the cushion filling. Ensure cushions are dried thoroughly after heavy downpours.
Dirt or stains are difficult to remove.
For stubborn stains, try a mild solution of soap and water applied with a soft cloth. Gently scrub the affected area and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry fully.
Piping on the edge is fraying.
Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully with scissors. If significant fraying occurs, it may indicate wear and tear that cannot be easily repaired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These cushions require no assembly. Simply place them on your desired outdoor seating. Ensure the seating surface is dry before placing the cushions to prevent moisture trapping.
Compatibility: The "D Pad" designation suggests they are best suited for chairs with a distinct back and seat shape, often found in dining sets or individual armchairs. They are designed to fit standard outdoor furniture dimensions but always check your furniture's specific shape.
Care: To maintain the cushions, regularly dust them off. For spills or dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the fabric. Allow cushions to air dry completely before use or storage. It is recommended to store them in a dry, protected place during prolonged periods of non-use or harsh weather to maximize their lifespan.
