Product Line

Comfort Is What Keeps Customers Outside

Cushions are where outdoor furniture earns its keep — and where quality shows after one season in the sun. BETTER-LIVING produces outdoor cushions in solution-dyed polyester fabrics that resist UV fading, rain and mildew. Every cover is cut and sewn in our Ningbo factory with concealed zippers, reinforced piping and your choice of foam density, from standard high-resilience foam to quick-dry reticulated cores for exposed settings.

Categories

Cushions for Every Furniture Type

Materials & Construction

Fabrics and Foam, Specified for Seasons Outdoors

Every material choice is made for one goal: cushions that still look right after years of sun, rain and daily use.

Solution-Dyed Polyester

Pigment is added before the fiber is extruded, so color runs through every strand — grade 4+ color fastness and 80+ UV protection that printing cannot match.

Water & Stain Resistant

PU-coated, quick-dry constructions shed rain, resist mildew between seasons and wipe clean after everyday use.

Removable, Washable Covers

Concealed zippers let buyers and end users wash covers without replacing the cushion — a feature European retailers increasingly require.

Custom Colors & Patterns

Stripes, solids and jacquard weaves — matched to a Pantone code or your physical swatch, with lab dips returned within 10 days.

High-Density Foam Cores

25–35 kg/m³ high-resilience foam for seating comfort, with quick-dry reticulated foam available for poolside and uncovered settings.

Tailored Finishing

Piping, tufting, box edges, tie-down straps and anti-slip backs — finished to your specification and consistent across production runs.

FAQ

Common Questions from Buyers

Answers to what buyers ask most before placing a manufacturing order with BETTER-LIVING.

What is the MOQ for outdoor cushions?

Our standard MOQ is 500 pieces per model. For first-time buyers or trial runs we can accommodate smaller orders. Cushion covers and foam cores are produced on the same line, so MOQ is per fabric-color combination.

What fabrics and foam cores do you offer?

We sew cushions in solution-dyed polyester (standard) or acrylic (premium) with UV 80+ rating and water-repellent finish. Foam options include high-resilience polyurethane, quick-dry reticulated foam, and dry-fast foam for marine exposure. All fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 compliant.

Can you match custom colors or Pantone references?

Yes. Solution-dyed polyester can be colour-matched to any Pantone TPX reference with a 1,000-metre minimum fabric run. Custom colour lab-dip development takes 7-10 days for approval. Acrylic fabrics are available in 60 stock colours without custom MOQ.

What is the typical lead time for a cushion order?

Sample development: 15-20 days after artwork and fabric confirmation. Bulk production: 30-45 days depending on order size and complexity. Standard shipping is FOB Ningbo; CIF and DDP available on request.

Do you offer private-label packaging and labelling?

Yes. We provide custom poly-bag insertion, header cards, barcodes, retail boxes, master cartons, palletizing and container loading optimization. Private-label setup is one-time and can be reused across repeat orders.
