Look, if you’ve lived in Seattle for more than five minutes, you know the sun’s kinda like your emotionally unavailable ex—it shows up randomly, disappears for weeks, and when it finally commits, you forget all the bad stuff and run outside like you’ve just been paroled.
And when that sun does peek through the clouds like it just got off night shift, everybody in this town scrambles for one thing: outdoor seating.
Backyard BBQs. Rooftop hangs. Patio chillin’. Balcony breakfasts. Whether you’re in Queen Anne or Rainier Beach, if you've got any square footage that technically qualifies as “outdoors,” it's game on.
But let me ask you something real uncomfortable real quick—how are your outdoor cushions looking these days?
You know what I’m talking about. That one chair cushion that’s been soaking up rainwater since last October? The one with the faded floral print that screams 2003 retirement home vibes?
Yeah… it's time.
Let’s talk about reupholstering your outdoor furniture—because Seattle summer doesn’t last long, and your cushions need to be ready to shine.
You’ve probably been through this cycle before:
You buy some patio furniture. It looks good for one summer. Then the Rain Gods of Seattle show up with their misty wrath and the next thing you know, your cushion smells like a damp basement that plays sad jazz.
That mildew? It’s not seasoning.
That cracked vinyl? That’s not “rustic charm.”
And that sun-bleached cushion color? That’s not a neutral tone—it’s surrender.
Your outdoor furniture works hard.
Rain. Pollen. Seagull attacks.
Even the occasional raccoon disco party at 2am.
And yet, people leave it out there like it’s some war hero that doesn’t need a little TLC. Come on, Seattle—we can do better.
Let’s break it down, Dr. Phil style:
Like, real gross. Moldy, musty, and one gust of wind away from being a health hazard. If your guests sit down and the cushion makes a squish sound? You owe them an apology and a tetanus shot.
Fabric holds odors, and Seattle’s unique flavor of moisture will turn even the nicest lounge set into something that smells like an old gym bag left in the trunk of a Subaru.
Over time, those babies go flat. Like, "I’ll-just-stand-thanks" flat. And once the padding dies, you’re basically sitting on decorative regret.
You’ve got a nice garden, twinkle lights, maybe even a little fire pit going. But those janky cushions? That’s where the aesthetic falls apart. It’s like wearing a tuxedo with clown shoes.
Now here’s the good news: you don’t have to buy new furniture.
You don’t have to drop a fortune on a patio set that’ll fall apart faster than a group project.
You’ve got us—Eidem Upholstery. Seattle’s go-to crew for bringing your furniture back from the dead with fabrics that are tougher than an Oregon Trail pioneer.
We’re talking about:
Marine-grade materials that laugh in the face of rain
UV-resistant fabrics that won’t fade faster than your new year’s resolutions
Fast-drying foam that won’t trap moisture like a Seattle sidewalk in January
We’ve been doing this since 1954. That means we were reupholstering furniture before Google existed. Back when your grandparents were probably out here living their best life on a porch swing. And you bet we still do it with that same level of skill, care, and blue-collar pride.
Seattle’s summer is like spotting Bigfoot—you get a brief moment to enjoy it, then it’s gone. So let’s get ahead of the game.
Those classic pieces that now leave you with a wet butt and a rash? Let’s fix that.
Luxury isn’t dead—it’s just soggy. Reupholstering these gives you back your comfort throne.
Whether it’s built-in or freestanding, if it’s outside, it’s taking hits. Let’s pad it back up and make it worthy of sitting again.
The MVP of sunbathing needs cushions that don’t feel like plywood with a fabric sticker on it.
Even if the pool’s more of a birdbath right now, your furniture deserves to be ready when it’s time.
Picking upholstery fabric isn’t like picking out a tie. It’s more like choosing a battle outfit for your furniture.
You need strength. Style. Durability. And the ability to survive a spilled White Claw and a random downpour in the same hour.
Here are your top contenders:
Sunbrella & Performance Fabrics – Practically bulletproof. Won’t fade, mold, or break a sweat when the rain hits sideways.
Vinyl-Coated Fabrics – Super easy to clean and durable enough to handle the wildest toddler or that one clumsy friend.
Marine-Grade Leatherette – For those who want that luxury yacht look… even if your backyard is mostly dandelions and determination.
Custom Patterns & Bold Colors – Don’t be afraid to go wild. Your backyard doesn’t have to look like a beige waiting room.
And the best part? We help you choose. You don’t need to know anything about fabrics. Just bring us your sad cushions, and we’ll do the rest.
We’re not just an upholstery shop—we’re the folks who take your furniture from “meh” to “marvelous.” From “please don’t sit there” to “yo, come sit here!”
