FAQs for Siesta Seat Cushion (for Paris Bench)
Q: Is the Siesta Seat Cushion designed specifically for the Paris Bench?
A: Yes, this cushion is purpose-built to fit the Siesta Paris Bench perfectly. It’s not a generic outdoor bench cushion – the dimensions and profile are tailored for a secure, streamlined fit. This ensures it sits neatly in place without overhang, making it ideal for commercial hospitality venues and modern alfresco dining spaces.
Q: Can I leave this outdoor bench cushion outside in Australian weather?
A: The cushion is made with UV-resistant, weather-resistant 100% olefin fabric, designed to handle Australia’s harsh sun and outdoor conditions. It resists fading, moisture, stains and mildew. While it’s suitable for outdoor commercial use, storing cushions under cover when not in use will help extend their lifespan and maintain appearance.
Q: How thick is the cushion, and is it comfortable for long seating periods?
A: The cushion features 50mm thick (5cm) padding, offering supportive comfort for extended dining or social seating. The polyester fibre filling provides a balanced feel – soft enough for relaxation, yet resilient enough to maintain its shape in high-traffic hospitality and public environments.
Q: What fabric is used, and is it suitable for commercial environments?
A: It’s upholstered in premium Etisilk fabric from Spain, made from 100% olefin. Olefin is widely used in commercial outdoor furniture cushions because of its durability, colourfastness and resistance to moisture and stains. This makes it ideal for cafés, restaurants, resorts and public spaces across Australia.
Q: Does the cushion fade in direct sunlight?
A: The olefin fabric is UV stabilised, meaning it’s engineered to resist significant colour fading under strong sun exposure. This makes it a reliable choice for outdoor hospitality settings. For maximum longevity, especially in full sun areas, occasional rotation or covered storage is recommended.
Q: What type of filling is inside the cushion?
A: The cushion is filled with 100% polyester fibres, chosen for their lightweight, quick-drying and resilient properties. Unlike traditional foam inserts, polyester fibre maintains shape under frequent use and performs well in outdoor environments where moisture resistance is important.
Q: Is this cushion suitable for heavy commercial use?
A: Yes, the Siesta Seat Cushion (for Paris Bench) is manufactured in Europe to strict commercial standards. It’s designed for indoor and outdoor commercial applications, including high-traffic hospitality venues, shopping centres and communal areas, where durability and easy maintenance are essential.
Q: Does the cushion require assembly or special installation?
A: No assembly is required. The cushion arrives ready to use and simply sits securely on the compatible Paris Bench. Its tailored design ensures a neat fit without complicated installation, making it convenient for venue operators and facility managers.
Q: What warranty is included with the Siesta Seat Cushion?
A: The cushion is backed by a 1-year commercial warranty, providing peace of mind for business owners and specifiers. This warranty reflects the product’s European manufacturing quality and suitability for demanding Australian hospitality and commercial environments.
