I was looking for a comfortable cushion for this older wood bench. When I first received it I wasn’t sure but once I cut open the packaging and it extended I thought it was better. However in time in continued to get even better as it started filling out after being shrink wrapped. It is a very thick and firm cushion. Very comfortable and totally changes the use of this bench. Now it’s comfortable to sit there for long periods of time. I especially like the tie downs that clip and tighten. Good to know the cushion won’t blow away on this windy deck. Plus it stays perfectly in place. I ordered the blue - wasn’t too picky about the shade as I knew it would work with the yellow.   Hoping this cushion will last for a longtime as it’s perfect for our needs
