Bought these cushions in blue several years ago and continue to be pleased with my purchase. They are still comfortable and padding has not matted down. A little faded but they are in direct sunlight over the course of several summers. The cover is not water proof and I usually bring them in if it is going to rain. However, the few times they did get caught in a shower, I was able to dry them off in towels and this did not seem to damage cushion material in side.
