That's an excellent question, and one we hear often from customers looking to create the perfect cozy spot in their garden. The answer isn't a simple yes or no, as it depends entirely on the specific bench and manufacturer.
Typically, most standard garden benches are sold without cushions. The bench itself is considered the primary product. This allows you, the buyer, the freedom to choose cushions that match your personal style, exact dimensions, and comfort needs. You can find a vast array of cushions sold separately in different colors, patterns, thicknesses, and materials like weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric or quick-dry foam.
However, some furniture sets or higher-end bench models may be sold as a complete package that includes matching cushions. This is often highlighted in the product description as a key feature. Always check the "What's Included" section when shopping.
Our advice? If you have your heart set on a particular bench, assume cushions are a separate purchase unless stated otherwise. This approach gives you the most flexibility. Look for cushions specifically labeled for outdoor use, featuring UV protection and water-resistant properties to ensure they last through the seasons. Measuring your bench seat carefully before buying is the best way to ensure a perfect, polished look.
