Porch Swing Cushion with Backrest 47x40 in - Thick 5 in Comfort

In this review of the Porch Swing Cushion with Backrest the bottom line is simple: this Lake Blue 47x40 in cushion is for anyone who wants a thicker, splash resistant replacement pad that stays put on a porch swing or garden bench. The review focuses on fit, comfort and durability - the cushion's 5 in thickness and anti-slip ties address the common problems of thin, shifting pads, while the 300GSM polyester cover promises colorfastness outdoors. Measure your swing carefully before ordering and allow up to 48 hours for the filling to fully fluff.

Key Features

• 5 in thickness: Provides noticeably more padding than typical 3-4 in pads, offering better rebound and a softer feel on wooden or metal frames.
• Non-slip design: Six pairs of 11.8 in straps and a stitched center point keep the cushion stable and prevent filling from shifting during use.
• Wide color and size range: Available in 20 colors and three sizes so you can match patio decor or convert the pad for a loveseat, chaise or floor mat.
• Splash resistant fabric: The 300GSM high-density polyester cover beads water and wipes clean easily, helping it hold up to outdoor use.
• Fade resistant: Coloring technology aims to resist fading far longer than ordinary cushions, maintaining the look through seasons.
• Easy maintenance: Lightweight construction makes the cushion easy to move and spot clean with a rag.

Who It's For

The Porch Swing Cushion with Backrest is best for homeowners with a bench, porch swing or loveseat who need a replacement cushion that is thicker and more stable than standard options. It suits people who value color accuracy and outdoor durability and who will measure their swing to ensure the 47x40 in size fits correctly.

Those who need a fully waterproof cushion, very plush hotel-style padding, or a custom-sized fit different from the offered dimensions should look elsewhere; this cushion is splash resistant rather than 100% waterproof and some users report the initial feel can be less fluffy until the fill fully expands.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thicker 5 in fill gives better comfort and rebound than thinner alternatives.
• Secure attachment with multiple long ties and a central stitched point keeps the cushion in place.
• High-density 300GSM fabric resists fading and sheds water for outdoor longevity.
• Multiple sizes and many color choices help match different outdoor setups.

Cons

• Not completely waterproof; water beads on the cover but can penetrate if left soaked.
• Fill may take 24-48 hours to fully fluff; some buyers perceive less padding at first.

Specifications

Our Verdict

For anyone replacing a porch swing or small bench cushion, this 47x40 in pad delivers a practical upgrade in comfort and stability at a reasonable value. It is especially worthwhile when colorfast outdoor fabric and secure ties matter, but buyers should allow time for the fill to fully expand and remember it is splash resistant rather than fully waterproof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cushion fit my standard porch swing?
Measure your swing seat area and compare to the 47 x 40 in dimensions; it is available in other sizes if this one is not a match.

Is the cover waterproof?
The polyester cover is splash resistant and beads water, but it is not 100% waterproof and should not be left soaked.

What if the cushion seems flat on arrival?
Allow 24-48 hours for natural fluffing or run it in a dryer for 20 minutes to speed recovery to its intended thickness.
