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

In this review the Porch Swing Cushion with Backrest is judged as a practical replacement cushion for 2-3 seater outdoor swings and benches; the single biggest reason to buy is its upgraded 5in thickness that delivers noticeably more comfort than typical 3-4 in pads. The reviewer found it most useful for porch swings, small loveseats and garden benches where extra rebound and a splash resistant cover matter, while also noting the need to measure the swing carefully before ordering and to allow 24-48 hours for natural fluffing.

Key Features

• 5-Inch Thick Cushion: The thicker pp cotton core offers improved rebound and support, so wooden or metal frames feel less firm when seated.
• Non-Slip Straps: Six pairs of 11.8 in anti-slip ties keep the cushion secured to the furniture and reduce shifting during use.
• Splash Resistant Fabric: The 300 GSM polyester cover beads water and wipes clean quickly, helping the cushion survive light exposure outdoors.
• Colorfast Construction: Advanced dyeing reduces fading, which the maker says supports longer outdoor color life compared with ordinary cushions.
• Multi-Scene Application: Available in several sizes and colors so it can serve as a porch swing cushion, bench pad, chaise or even a floor mat.
• Lightweight and Easy Care: The cushion is easy to move and spot clean with a rag for routine maintenance.

Who It's For

This cushion is aimed at homeowners who want an inexpensive, thicker replacement pad for a 2-3 seater porch swing or small outdoor bench and value quick installation with ties and a more comfortable seat. It works well for casual outdoor gathering spots where splash resistance and color retention are helpful.

People who need a fully waterproof, commercial-grade cushion or those whose swings require a custom fit outside the stated sizes should look elsewhere. Also, buyers expecting factory-fluffy loft right out of the box should allow up to 48 hours for the fill to expand or use a short dryer cycle as suggested.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thicker 5 in padding gives better comfort and bounce than thinner alternatives.
• Anti-slip straps and stitched center prevent sliding and filling shift during use.
• Durable 300 GSM polyester resists fading and sheds light splashes for easy upkeep.
• Multiple size and color choices make it adaptable to different outdoor pieces.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed cushioning feel; initial loft can be less fluffy until it fully expands.
• Cover is splash resistant but not fully waterproof, so heavy rain requires removal or extra protection.

Our Verdict

For most homeowners with a 2-3 seater porch swing or small outdoor bench, this cushion is a sensible value: the 5 in thickness, secure ties and colorfast polyester make it more comfortable and longer lasting than thinner alternatives. It is not a fully waterproof commercial pad and may need time to regain loft, but overall it delivers improved comfort and easy maintenance at a reasonable price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cushion fit my swing?
Measure your swing before ordering and compare to the listed 47x40 in dimension to ensure a correct fit.

Is the cover waterproof?
The cover is splash resistant and beads water, but it is not fully waterproof and should be protected in heavy rain.
