Research: outdoor sofa cushions

[nelsonic]

need to find some durable high quality outdoor sofa cushions for the garden where I will be building pallets sofas.
quick Google search finds:

These look decent. If you have time to research, please share links. 🔗 🙏

Also, what is the color that is least likely to get dirty when left outside in the elements? 💭⏳
Cause it’s all well and good buying something that looks good in the short term but then looks old and tatty from sun & rain after one season … 🙃

No feedback received. ⏳😔
Need to move forward with seating for the Aft Deck. ⏳☀️
So I placed an order: https://www.vidaxl.pt/account/orders/detail?orderID=0351000672313

for 2 of the corner sofa cushions and two middle ones:

Should arrive next week. 👌
Not expecting the heights of luxury.
But as long as they are more comfortable than sitting on a metal grate and reasonably easy to keep clean/maintained, I’m happy. 🙏
This is enough for 4 people to sit comfortably on the aft deck. We can order more if they are good. 🤞🏼

The VidaXL cushions turned out to be a substantial disappointment. 🤦‍♂️
They are adequate in terms of functionality but not great in aesthetics. 💭
And the worst part is that the colors are not consistent. 🙃

@iteles what are you thoughts on getting some of the IKEA FRÖSÖN/DUVHOLMEN ones?

Yes, they are more expensive ... but I suspect that they will:
A. be more attractive
B. more durable
C. more comfortable.

The "Saldos" (annual summer sale) finish on 30th June 2024:

So we have a few weeks to decide.
But the sooner we decide (and order) the sooner we can all enjoy them on the Aft Deck. ☀️
