10 of the best garden cushions

Garden furniture is usually hardwood or hard-wearing polywicker - practical and beautiful, but not always the most comfortable. Garden furniture cushions can make your garden a little cosier, bringing an indoor luxury into your green spaces.

Garden chair cushions also add a splash of colour to decking, patios, and conservatories that can compliment your planting as well as the wider aesthetics of your garden.

We’ve curated a list of some of the best garden furniture cushions, with a range of colours, designs, and materials - including a few waterproof cushions, in case your garden gets caught in a sudden shower. Whether you’re just looking for a homely place to rest, or a designer cushion to set your patio apart, we’ve got a spectrum of styles, sizes, and shapes to suit a range of needs and prices.

For somewhere to place these cushions, check out our guides to the best deck chairs, garden egg chairs, and garden sofas. If you're entertaining, check out our tests of the best gas BBQs, the best charcoal BBQs, and our guides to barbecue accessories.
