I bought the blue cushions and have had them a year on the chaise lounge pictured. They have faded but no one would really notice. They are still aqua blue, just lighter. They don't repel rain, like bead up, but they dry very quickly. Some say they are too thin, but we find them very comfortable because the chaise itself has "give" to it. If the cushions were on a wooden chaise, then it may feel too hard. All of our guests have felt they were comfortable too. Each section has a zipper for removal, but I have only had to spot clean a little. To show how good they repel, we had a lot of bird poop on ours from birds flying over after eating our blueberries. I let the purple poop dry and it brushed right off. No stain. No staining from suntan lotion either. We live in the Deep South, with long pool season, and hot humid days. We expect anything, even Sunbrella, will fade some.
