Clark Rubber Mid Back Cushion

We needed new outdoor cushions for new Solaro Green Outdoor Chairs we bought from Fantastic Furniture (simple but very comfortable & reasonably priced plastic chairs). I must add the buying/delivery experience with Fantastic was very smooth, professional and efficient. I don't like to buy cushions online as the quality of the cushioning and… Read more ·  1

fabrics is so variable and it's so difficult to know what's good and what's not unless you can see and feel it, regardless of how cheap or expensive it is.

Then we remembered Clark Rubber was also nearby. We don't have a pool so hadn't thought of them at first even though we had bought quality items from them previously.

We bought 5 x Mid Back Chair Cushions from Clark Rubber that were very good quality yet also very reasonably priced.

The cushions have quality inner and outer, and they provide very good support. But the reason we're writing this is because there was a lumbar support bonus others might be interested in due to the chair and cushion combo.

The chairs we bought, whilst very comfortable, have a low back. The cushions we bought from Clark Rubber were mid-back sized but were still a bit higher than the back of the chairs. But fortunately the cushions have two tie positions to affix to the chair - base and top.

The top ties were a little higher than the back of the chair, which meant we had to flex the cushion a little in order to make the ties reach the top of the chair and tie it into place. I was little concerned this might stress the stitching and cause breakage but there's no evidence yet that it's causing too much stress on the stitching.

LUMBAR SUPPORT RESULT: The result is that flexing the cushions has provided us very welcome lumbar support that outdoor cushions don't typically deliver. We're so happy with the result we thought it might be of interest to anyone else who might need better lumbar support.
