Sunbrella 20"x13" Cabana Stripe Outdoor Throw Pillow
Skip unless Sunbrella independently confirms PFAS-free water-repellent coating; outdoor textiles often use PFAS water repellents.
Sunbrella fabrics are industry-standard for outdoor cushions and known for durability, but the brand does not publicly disclose PFAS content or commit to PFAS-free formulations. Water-repellent outdoor textiles commonly rely on fluorinated water-repellent coating coatings.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
