The customized seat cushions can be made for indoor or outdoor seats or benches. The outdoor cushions are constructed differently from the indoor ones with water-repellant and water-resistant fabrics that allow water to bead on the surface and slide off it instead of soaking through the fabric. The bottoms of the outdoor seat cushions are upholstered with breathable mesh fabric to aid drainage and prevent moldy foam. Similarly, the designers switch the inner foams of the outdoor cushions with mildew-resistant, acoustic-performance Dacron outdoor foams and quick-drying Dacron wraps.
