Ordered 2, Arrived today... Cat Approved! LOL
Initial Review = I received both today, on-time as advertised by Amazon, in just a few days (Prime). Quality packing, no damage, good quality product. Includes Covered Foam, Lined cover and Instructions for washing/care too! No tools needed, obviously. Note: Do Not use a razor blade/knife to cut/slice the plastic off the foam roll when it comes out of the box - you'll cut the foam water resistant covering!! Water resistance = As you review the pictures, you'll see double waterproofing material (1. foam itself is covered, 2. outer material is lined inside). I would do the same thing if it were my product too. Weatherproof = Looks pretty waterproof to me - Double lined. I don't know for sure yet, they haven't gotten wet, and I haven't spilled a libation on them yet. =) Color = The Blue color is "almost" like a new pair of jeans (a tiny bit brighter - exactly what I expected/wanted). Only time will tell (too new) on wear/tear and color fasting/fading, but I plan to store these away, out of the major rain/snow storms, sun etc. when not in use (although, nothing from Favoyard states that you need to so this - that's just me). Installation = EASY installation of the foam inside the cover - with a little adjusting for fit, but fits perfectly. Be careful NOT to get the foam/covering pinched in the zipper, just be careful. Do follow the instructions and allow 24-48 hours for the foam to relax to fit inside the cover exactly (the foam comes rolled up). This is NOT a bad thing, it just makes good logic. Attaching Straps/clips = I found that I did not need to use them, you might. Good feature if you do. Zipper = No issues with the zipper, good quality. Usage = I have a bench swing and purchased these identical pieces to be interchangeable (back and seat). These are NOT flimsy, squishy cushions like others you may have seen. They're comfortable for my old bones, and that is saying something. Final tip... if your swing is not quite at the perfect height (cushion is 3-1/2 Inch thick quality sponge) and you want to lower the swing 4" (my feet didn't reach the deck anymore with the bottom cushion installed), I recommend adding another spring (set) to the existing springs (see last picture of springs I purchased). I don't recommend cutting the legs down of your swing frame. LOL Mixed Review = The handle on the front... to each their own (I've read the other reviews). Remove or stay - Up to you (easily removed with a stitch remover). These are super light enough (foam) NOT to need a handle. I might remove the handle later.... dunno yet. Overall = Happy with my purchase, good quality; can't wait to sit back, grab a beverage, sit by the fire at night, and enjoy Life. Day 1 opinion = I would highly recommend. Read more
