For outdoor textiles that mean business but still look stylish and offer maximum comfort, Olefin ticks all the boxes. Creating captivating covers for cushions that mirror the elegance of our furniture collections, Olefin, with its beautiful linen-look and durable qualities stays looking pristine no matter what the weather (or you) throw at it.

Tough stuff

LifestyleGarden® only uses materials that boast excellent weather-resistant properties and offer extreme durability in all climates. Olefin® is no exception! This hardwearing fabric is made using polyester for high-quality performance, woven together to give the appearance of a linen fabric. Not only can Olefin® withstand extreme weather conditions, this game-changing fabric is also resistant to abrasions, stains, sunlight, fire and chemicals.

Its fibres contain less moisture than other fabrics, which allows it to dry more quickly, meaning your furniture won’t be taken out of action after a downpour and avoid the panic about making sure your cushions have been brought in out of the rain. It’s also very handy for any spillages – particularly when combined with its stain-resistant qualities. UV protection and extreme colour fastness means that all Olefin® cushions won’t fade and will retain their original colour for years to come, keeping your furniture set looking its best.

Luxurious style

You may think something this tough couldn’t possibly be flexible and soft enough to sink into for a spot of relaxation but you’d be wrong. This tactile fabric not only looks stunning but feels amazing too. When filled with premium foam, Olefin covers create plush, premium cushions that feel soft to the touch, reassuringly firm and are a pleasure to lounge on. Knowing how hardwearing the textiles are should mean you can relax even more, safe in the knowledge that the fabric can withstand heavy use and won’t split or tear easily.

How do I care for it?

Olefin® needs very little looking after. The beauty of this incredible fabric is that it is completely maintenance free. We appreciate you want to keep your furniture looking as pristine as possible, so should you ever need to give it a clean, just use a little soap and water. For added peace of mind you can use our Fabric Protector; an invisible and transparent spray that is dirt and water repellent. It also allows for moisture transmission and has a built-in mould and mildew inhibitor. Simply spray on and leave to help top up Olefin’s protective layer.
