Garden Bench Cushions And Pillows

So you've brought a brand new garden bench, but you are finding it a little tough on the backside. No problems at all, this is where garden bench cushions and pillows come into the mix to spice things up a little. No matter whether your brought a plastic garden bench, a stone garden bench or even a wooden garden bench, you can make it almost as comfortable as your own bed and that's what I'm going to show you how to do in this article.

So let's get started shall we!

Pillows are the most obvious way to not only decorate your garden bench, but to allow some sort of softness. If you are after pillows for decorative reasons, throw pillows work well. If you are after something to site on, try using pillow squares. These are pillows that are flatter then normal pillow or cushions, and are perfect for sitting on.

Another good idea is to use both types. Use the throw pillows for the backs of the bench or for decoration and the flatter cushions to sit on.

Another idea, which most people use, is to buy the long flat cushions you find on park benches or even bus seats. You can see an example of what I mean by visiting the website below....

Not the most attractive option I know, but they are incredibly comfortable, and the big one, they are very resistant to the weather. Normal pillows will get wrecked if left outside in the rain and weather, but these type of cushions are meant for this sort of treatment. They come in many different sizes, shapes and colors, so just about any garden bench will be able to use them.

Bench cushions are also very inexpensive. You can pick them up for under $100 depending on the size and how much padding you get. You will need to also make sure that if you have a garden bench that has a solid back, that you get a bench cushion without straps as it will look a bit funny these little flaps sticking out the side doing nothing at all.
