Because all phone, tablet and computer screen settings are different, you may not be seeing the true colors of the fabrics. We offer Fabric Samples so that you can see and feel the fabrics to know exactly what you’ll going to be getting prior to ordering. Because all items are custom made, we do not accept returns or exchanges.
In order to answer that question, we need to know the measurements of your furniture and/or your cushion. After obtaining your measurements, you can search our web site for the size you need. If you do not see the size or style you need, please contact us at order@summerlivingdirect.com and we will assist you.
Navigate to our How to Measure page (found at the bottom of our website) for more information. When obtaining your measurements, please be certain that the cushions match the measurements you submit to us. Take all the steps needed to be sure of your decision. We measure width x height of back/ depth of seat x thickness.
Our cushions are water resistant but not waterproof. The fabrics placed on the cushions are water resistant, but not fully waterproof. If your cushions do get wet, turn them on their sides as the water will tend to run out quicker and allow air to pass through them resulting in faster drying times. Because our cushions are designed for outdoor use, they do dry quickly. Do not place them in a dryer.
No, our items do not have zippers as we do not warrant any damaged caused from washing machines, dryers or detergents. Washing and drying can cause your covers to shrink and/or fall apart, and many detergents have chemicals that can harm the outdoor fabrics. We recommend spot cleaning them with a mild soap and water.
We offer fabric-covered buttons, as well as other materials. Our item descriptions provide you with the type of buttons each item has. Customers have the option to choose the color of the plastic buttons they would like on their cushions.
To clean your cushions, use a mild soap and water and gently scrub them using a non-abrasive cloth or brush. When finished scrubbing you can hose them off and tip them up too dry. Navigate to our fabrics facts page for more information on cleaning your cushions.
Unfortunately, the only way to help you find cushions is by knowing the measurements. Please measure your existing furniture or cushions and contact us at order@summerlivingdirect.com for additional assistance.
