Manassas Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Been looking around for some weather proof cushions for the patio. That is, something that could be left outside and just wiped off after the rain and wind. Surprised that I haven't found anything. I especially like the Thai triangle pillows, but they are all cotton. After chatting with several shop owners they tell me that you just need an upholsterer to custom make them from material you select. That is how all the hotels get their sunbeds etc. Easy enough to find an upholsterer to make them, but I'm surprised this product isn't widely available here given the amount of time people spend on their patios, pools and salas. Does anybody know of a shop that stocks such items that I have missed?
sceadugenga Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Big C have a selection of cushions, I can't say that I've seen any waterproof ones but then I haven't looked specifically.
villagefarang Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 You will have noticed that most Thais sit on straw mats and pick them up after use. In this climate almost anything you leave out exposed to the elements won’t last long. You could try Home Pro for outdoor furniture but it might be a bit pricey.
scorpio1945 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Many places sell pillows that the interior is encased in a plastic bag so the exterior dries rather quickly or you can buy some Scotch-guard and do your own.

I should imagine that the upholsterers are quite happy that this product isn't widely available...
