An egg chair cushion is the seat pad and headrest that line the inside of the basin, usually a foam-filled insert wrapped in a removable fabric cover. The right cushion should match the shape of your chair's basin, hold up to daily sitting, and come off easily for cleaning or storage. Beddora's Hanging Egg Chair with Stand ships with both a seat cushion and a headrest pillow already fitted to the basin, so sizing is one less thing to think about.
This guide walks through cushion sizing, fill materials, cover fabrics, cleaning, waterproofing, and what to do when a cushion finally wears out. If you already own a Beddora egg chair, keep Beddora's Care Guide open in another tab while you read the cleaning section below.
What Size Is an Egg Chair Cushion?
An egg chair cushion is sized to fit the exact curve of its basin, not a standard chair-seat dimension, so cushions are not interchangeable between different egg chair models.
Before measuring anything, check three numbers:
| Measurement |
Why It Matters |
| Basin width at its widest point |
Determines how wide the seat cushion needs to be |
| Basin depth, front to back |
Determines cushion length and how far back the headrest sits |
| Overall chair height |
Confirms the chair fits the room or covered outdoor space you have in mind |
Beddora's egg chair stands 199 cm tall on a 139 cm base, and the cushion and headrest pillow are cut to match that basin exactly. If you are shopping for a chair and cushion together, measuring your space first (doorway width, ceiling clearance if you plan to hang it, and floor footprint) saves a return later.
If you already own an egg chair and are shopping for a new cushion on its own, measure the basin before you buy rather than going by the chair's brand or model name. Two chairs that look similar in photos can have noticeably different basin curves, and a cushion cut for the wrong curve will bunch at the edges instead of sitting flat.
Egg Chair Cushions vs. Regular Outdoor Chair Cushions
An egg chair cushion is not the same shape as a standard patio chair cushion, so the two are not interchangeable even when the fill material is identical.
|
Egg Chair Cushion |
Standard Outdoor Chair Cushion |
| Shape |
Curved to fit a rounded basin |
Flat, rectangular |
| Fit |
Follows the chair's contour, seat and headrest together |
Sits on top of a flat seat surface |
| Headrest |
Usually included as a separate matching piece |
Rarely included |
| Sizing |
Model-specific, matched to one basin shape |
More universal across chair styles |
This is why a generic patio cushion, even a well-made one, rarely works as a substitute inside an egg chair basin. Beddora's cushion and headrest pillow are cut specifically for its own basin shape, which is part of why the fit is even and there is no bunching at the edges.
What Are Egg Chair Cushions Made Of?
Most egg chair cushions are built from two layers: an inner fill and an outer cover fabric. The fill provides the shape and support, while the cover fabric determines how the cushion feels, wears, and cleans.
Common fill materials:
-
Foam – holds its shape longest and resists flattening under daily use
-
Polyester fiberfill – softer initially but compresses faster over time
-
Foam-and-fiber blend – firm support in the seat with a softer top layer
Common cover fabrics:
-
Polyester – dries quickly, resists fading, and is the most common choice for chairs used outdoors or on a covered patio
-
Cotton or cotton-blend – softer against skin but slower to dry if it gets wet
-
Outdoor-rated acrylic – built for direct sun and weather exposure
Beddora's egg chair uses a removable polyester cushion with foam fill. That combination is why the cushion lifts straight out for cleaning and keeps its shape instead of going flat after a season of regular use.
How Beddora Helps With This: Every Beddora egg chair ships with the seat cushion and headrest pillow already matched to the basin, so there is no separate cushion to size or order. The polyester-and-foam build is chosen specifically to survive daily sitting and indoor-outdoor moves, backed by Beddora's 30-day returns if the fit or feel is not right for you.
Egg Chair Cushion Covers: What to Look For
An egg chair cushion cover is the removable outer layer that protects the foam fill inside. A well-made cover should unzip or lift free without tools, and the fabric should match how you actually plan to use the chair.
Look for these features when comparing cushion covers:
-
A removable, washable design so you can spot clean or launder the cover without disturbing the foam
-
A tight, consistent weave that resists pilling in high-contact spots like the headrest
-
A colour and pattern that hides light staining, since seat cushions see more daily contact than most furniture
-
Reinforced seams at the corners, which are the first place a cover shows wear
Beddora's cushion cover is polyester, chosen for exactly this: it wipes clean easily, holds its beige colour through repeated use, and the whole cushion lifts out of the basin in seconds when you want to clean it or bring it inside.
Waterproof Egg Chair Cushions: Keeping Yours Dry
A cushion described as "waterproof" typically means the outer fabric is coated or tightly woven enough to shed light moisture, not that the cushion can be left out in rain or left soaking wet without consequence.
If your egg chair sits somewhere it might catch rain, sprinklers, or morning dew, moisture management matters more than the waterproof label on the tag. Beddora's guidance for its own egg chair cushion is straightforward:
- Bring the cushion and headrest pillow indoors whenever the chair is not in use and rain is possible
- The steel frame and rattan basin are built for indoor or covered outdoor use, but the cushion itself lasts longest when it is not left sitting damp
- If the cushion does get wet, let it air dry fully before storing it, so moisture doesn't sit trapped inside the foam
Beddora also makes Waterproof Pillow Protectors for indoor bedding, which reflects the same approach the product team takes across the catalogue: protect the fill first, and let the outer fabric do the work of shedding moisture.
How to Clean Your Egg Chair Cushion
Cleaning an egg chair cushion is a two-step job: wipe the frame, then spot clean the cushion separately, since the two materials need different care.
For Beddora's egg chair specifically:
- Wipe the steel frame and rattan basin with a damp cloth, then dry it fully
- Lift the cushion straight out of the basin
- Spot clean the cushion cover with mild soap and cool water
- Let the cushion air dry completely before placing it back in the basin
Avoid hot water, bleach, or a washing machine cycle, all of which can break down the foam fill or warp the cover's shape faster than normal use would. A quick wipe-down after each use, rather than a deep clean once a season, keeps the cushion looking newer for longer.
When (and How) to Replace an Egg Chair Cushion
Most egg chair cushions need replacing when the foam has visibly flattened, the cover fabric has torn or faded unevenly, or the cushion no longer sits flush in the basin. None of that happens overnight. It's usually a gradual sign that daily sitting has finally worn through the fill.
Signs it's time to look at a replacement:
- The cushion stays compressed instead of springing back after you stand up
- The cover fabric has split at a seam or corner
- Fading is uneven, with the sun-exposed side noticeably lighter than the rest
- The cushion has been left wet more than once and now smells musty
If you own a Beddora egg chair and have a question about your cushion, Beddora's Customer Care team can help you sort out whether it's a cleaning fix, a warranty question, or a genuine replacement, all backed by Beddora's 30-day hassle-free returns and exchanges policy.
Storage Tips Between Seasons
An egg chair cushion lasts longest when it spends its off-season indoors and dry, not folded up damp in a shed or garage.
- Store the cushion and headrest pillow somewhere dry, never stacked while still damp
- Keep the cushion out of direct sun when it's not in use, since UV exposure fades cover fabric faster than daily sitting does
- If you use the chair outdoors on a covered patio, bring the cushion in overnight during rainy stretches rather than waiting for a full storm
- Pair the chair with a Reversible Sherpa Throw for cooler evenings, so the cushion itself sees less direct wear during long sits
How Beddora's Egg Chair Cushion Compares
Beddora's cushion is designed around one idea: it should never be the reason the chair feels unfinished. The seat cushion and headrest pillow are matched to the basin at the factory, so there is no guessing on size, no separate cushion to source, and no mismatched fabric.
The chair itself is rated to hold up to 450 lbs across a double-strength chain and a wide steel base, which means the cushion is supporting real daily use, not just occasional sitting. Combined with the removable, spot-cleanable design, it's built to be lived in rather than looked at.
