I've had these cushions for years and I'm ready to buy them again! I used them on my kitchen chairs that have a rush seat. The material on these cushions are very soft, almost a hint of velvety microfiber. And they wash up like magic! I have 3 kids and 2 pets and so I am constantly dealing with spills. I have the light tan color cushions and they still clean up nice. I'm not shy about throwing them in my washing machine (I think the label says spot clean only) and they always come out looking nice and clean. I confess, there are times when there are minor spills, that I will just flip the cushion over. Good as new! Don't judge!
