How to Choose

Start by measuring your outdoor sofa — width, depth, and height — to ensure a proper fit. Choose a material that suits your climate: waterproof PVC for rainy regions, breathable polyester for humid areas.

Opt for neutral colours like grey, taupe, or black for a discreet look, or coordinate with your garden palette.
