When you run a café, hotel, or resort, your seating does more than fill a space — it sets the tone for your entire customer experience. The right cushions can make guests linger longer, feel more comfortable, and remember your venue for all the right reasons. At Cushion House, we know that commercial seating cushions need to balance beauty with durability, especially in busy hospitality settings across New Zealand and Australia.
So, what should you look for when choosing cushions for your venue? Let’s break it down.
Why Commercial Cushions Need to Be Different
Café and resort furniture faces far more wear and tear than anything at home. From spilled coffee and sunscreen to harsh UV rays, your cushions need to handle it all — and still look amazing. That’s why we use high-density foams and UV-resistant fabrics that won’t fade, flatten, or fall apart after a few busy seasons. Our commercial cushions are built to last, even in high-traffic areas.
Choosing the Right Foam for Longevity
Foam is the heart of every cushion. For cafés and indoor lounges, high-density comfort foam gives you that soft-but-supportive feel your guests will love. If you’re outfitting poolside lounges or outdoor decks, quick-dry reticulated foam is a must. It drains quickly, resists mould, and holds its shape — even in coastal humidity. For luxury hotels or resort lobbies, our Comfort Plus foam offers that plush, premium feel while still standing up to constant use.
Picking the Best Fabrics for Your Venue
When it comes to fabric, looks matter — but longevity matters more. We use commercial-grade materials like solution-dyed acrylics and olefin, which can handle up to 98% UV protection and are easy to clean. Whether you want crisp white for a seaside resort or bold patterns for a boutique café, you can find the right balance of style and strength. And if you’re unsure, we’ll happily send free fabric samples so you can test colours and textures in your own space before ordering.
Customising for Your Brand
Every business has its own personality — and your cushions should reflect that. Maybe your café wants warm mustard tones to match your logo, or your hotel prefers neutral greys with neat piping for a modern touch. Because every cushion is made to order, you can choose the exact size, shape, colour, and finish that fits your brand perfectly. We’ve designed cushions for everything from resort sun lounges to restaurant booths and outdoor decks.
Keeping Your Cushions Fresh
Good maintenance keeps your cushions looking as great as day one. Our covers are removable and washable, and quick-dry foams make cleaning simple. For outdoor areas, we recommend storing cushions indoors during long closures or stormy seasons. A regular refresh — or even ordering extra covers — helps your seating always look inviting.
