Magpie Fabrics Indoor Outdoor Bench Cushion 45in x 18in - Water

Our review of the Magpie Fabrics Indoor Outdoor Bench Cushion finds it best for anyone who wants a long, comfortable seat pad for a porch, window seat or patio bench without fuss. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a thick, tufted fiber fill and a water-resistant cover that keeps the seat comfortable and usable outdoors; it contours to the body and resists spills while the non-slip bottom helps the cushion stay put. This review focuses on real-world use, fit, and care so you can decide if this 45 x 18 x 5 in cushion matches your bench or loveseat needs.

Key Features

• Generous padding: The 5 in tufted fiber fill gives consistent support and contours to hips, making long sits more comfortable on hard benches.
• Water-resistant cover: Surface liquids bead up on the slipcover so spills can be wiped away quickly, protecting the interior fill.
• Fade-resistant fabric: Piece-dyed, high UV fabric resists fading in direct sunlight for extended outdoor use, so patterns stay brighter longer.
• Non-slip base: Premium PVC particle studs on the cushion bottom keep the pad securely in place on wicker, metal or wood benches.
• Tufted construction: Circle tacks hold the fill in position to prevent shifting and bunching over time, preserving an even seat.
• Easy care: Spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry, which simplifies maintenance for outdoor and indoor use.

Who It's For

This cushion suits homeowners or renters who need a long seat pad for a porch, patio bench, window seat, loveseat or swing and want a balance of comfort and practicality. It works well for families who want a wipe-clean surface for occasional spills and for people replacing thin or hard bench seats.

People who require machine-washable covers, heavy-duty commercial durability, or a specific custom size outside the stated 45 x 18 x 5 in should look elsewhere; this cushion arrives vacuum compressed and needs about 48 hours to fully recover thickness.
