Questions about boat cushions

Can you make a sun pad for the bow of my boat?

Yes. Make a paper or cardboard template of the bow area, photograph it with a tape measure in the frame, and we make the sun pad in one piece or several sections.

What is the best fabric for boat cushions?

Marine-grade vinyl such as Sunbrella Horizon is best for seats that get wet and salty, because it wipes clean and resists mildew and UV. Sunbrella waterproof fabric is a softer option for covered areas.

What foam should boat cushions use?

Dry Fast foam. Its open cells let water drain out, so cushions dry quickly instead of holding water.

Can you add snaps or cutouts?

Yes. Mark snap locations, cleats and cup-holder cutouts on your template or in the quote notes.

How accurate is the fit?

We cut to within ±0.5″ of your measurements. For curved shapes, a template gives the best fit.

Boat seats upholstered in grey and white Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl

Standard marine vinyl cracks in a season or two; in the Gulf Coast or Florida sun, the surface becomes brittle, the backing stiffens, and the cushions visibly fail. Sunbrella marine vinyl is the long-term boat cushion solution engineered to outlast the competition by years.

Horizon marine vinyl is built with UV inhibitors in the topcoat and mildew resistance built into the backing layer, unlike cheap marine vinyl cushion fabric. The finish is luxe and classy, which is the look most boat owners want on cabin sofas, helm seats, and sundeck pads, without the cracking that happens to real leather in saltwater.

As marine-grade upholstery, this fabric is rated for both marine and outdoor commercial use, which is why it is specified for waterfront hospitality establishments, rooftop restaurant seating, and outdoor seating in locations prone to the harsh sun and water.

Sunbrella marine vinyl uses innovative technology to resist staining and discoloration. Microbial pinking is a frustrating discoloration that happens to vinyl over time in marine environments. Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl features proprietary technology that makes the fabric resistant to this metabolic process, which has traditionally been difficult to prevent and treat.

We build complete boat cushions in marine vinyl fabric paired with dryfast marine foam cut to your vessel’s seating measurements. Send the seating layout and dimensions to our business team for a quote.

FAQs for Sunbrella Horizon Marine Vinyl

Quick answers about sizing, fabrics, foam and delivery.

What makes Sunbrella Horizon different from standard marine vinyl? + −

Standard marine vinyl usually has a PVC top layer over a polyester backing. It cracks from sun exposure and stiffens in cold weather after just a couple of seasons. Horizon is made for marine use, with UV inhibitors, mildew resistance, and a flexible backing that does not crack. Its finish also looks like leather, which most boat owners prefer.

Is Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl mildew-resistant? + −

Yes. Horizon is engineered with mildew inhibitors in the backing, the critical layer on which mildew first grows. The top surface also resists surface mold that can develop in humid marine storage conditions. Boat owners in the Gulf Coast, Florida, and Caribbean climates choose Horizon for this reason.

Can I use Sunbrella Horizon vinyl for indoor furniture? + −

Yes. Horizon is rated for both marine and indoor commercial use. Hospitality and healthcare projects specify it for its cleanability and durability. For residential use, it is a strong choice for homes with kids and pets in a coastal climate.

How do I clean Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl? + −

For regular cleaning, always use mild soap and warm water, then dry with a clean cloth. For tough stains or mildew, use a diluted bleach solution (1 cup bleach per gallon of water). It doesn’t harm the surface or fade the color. Always rinse with clean water after using bleach.

Do you build complete boat cushions in Horizon or just supply the vinyl? + −

We do not sell fabric. We build complete boat cushions in Horizon, paired with Dryfast marine foam, cut to your vessel’s exact seating measurements. You have to send your vessel type, seating layout, and dimensions to our business team to receive a quote. For trade inquiries, contact our trade desk.
