The material checklist
The difference between cushions is often in the little details. These details often say as much about the manufacture as the cushion itself. At NautiUpholstery, we understand the importance of starting with great materials, and offering consistent and professional quality services.
A high quality, long lasting cushion should have the following as part of the construction.
Vinyl
High grade vinyl that has built-in UV and mildew inhibitors.
Foam
Excellent performing foam that is dense and mildew resistant.
Thread
Top quality thread that is stabile in sunlight, resistance to saltwater and mildew.
Mesh
High standard mesh backing that provides for a long life span.
Hardware
Premium stainless steel and/or PVC to reduce the chance for corrosion
Pro tip: A major consideration when purchasing cushions is whether to start from scratch or re-cover the existing foam. Check out our FAQs if you are not sure of the best course to follow.
