Frequently Asked Questions
Are outdoor sofas weather-resistant?
Yes! Our outdoor sofas are specifically designed for exterior use with materials that resist UV fading, withstand rain and moisture, and handle temperature fluctuations. Frames feature powder-coated aluminum, all-weather wicker, teak, or stainless steel. Cushions use outdoor-grade fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic with UV protection and quick-dry foam cores that shed water. While durable, we recommend covering sofas or storing cushions during extreme weather or harsh winters for extended longevity.
What size outdoor sofa should I choose?
Measure your patio or deck carefully, leaving at least 24-36 inches of walkway space around the sofa. Standard outdoor sofas are 72-84 inches long (seating 3 people), loveseats are 48-60 inches (seating 2), and sectionals can be much larger. Consider your space proportions—oversized sofas overwhelm small patios, while too-small sofas get lost on large decks. Pair with an appropriately sized outdoor coffee table for balanced proportions.
What materials work best for outdoor sofas?
All-weather wicker offers texture, coastal appeal, and UV/moisture resistance. Powder-coated aluminum provides lightweight, rust-resistant modern style. Teak delivers natural beauty and weather resistance that ages gracefully. Rope or cord creates contemporary texture with quick-dry properties. For cushions, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella resist fading and mildew. Choose materials that coordinate with your outdoor seating and outdoor furniture style.
Should I choose a sofa or sectional for my outdoor space?
Sofas work well in smaller spaces, against walls, or for traditional seating arrangements. They're easier to move and reconfigure. Sectionals offer more seating capacity, create defined conversation areas, and work beautifully in larger spaces or open patios. Modular sectionals provide ultimate flexibility—rearrange pieces for different occasions. Consider your space size, entertaining needs, and whether you prefer flexibility or a permanent arrangement.
How do I style an outdoor sofa?
Layer outdoor pillows in varying sizes and patterns—use 4-6 pillows for visual interest and comfort. Add an outdoor coffee table 14-18 inches away for drinks and snacks. Place accent tables at the ends for lamps or decor. Style with throws for cool evenings. Add planters nearby for greenery. Create a complete outdoor room with coordinating chairs and accessories.
How do I maintain outdoor sofas?
Hose down frames regularly and wipe with mild soap and water. For wicker, brush debris from crevices. For teak, oil annually or let weather naturally. Remove cushions during rain or store in weatherproof containers. Spot-clean cushion spills immediately following fabric care codes. Cover sofas when not in use to protect from UV exposure and debris. Before winter storage, clean thoroughly and ensure cushions are completely dry to prevent mold.
