PFAS score
Sunbrella · Outdoor Cushions
Greendale Home Fashions Outdoor Sunbrella Deep Seat Cushion Set
Moderate PFAS risk due to water-repellent coating treatment; Sunbrella's silence on PFAS is concerning given outdoor cushion purpose.
Sunbrella's acrylic outdoor fabrics are typically treated with water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coatings to resist moisture and stains, a category historically reliant on PFAS chemistry. The brand makes no public disclosure of PFAS-free status or alternative chemistry.

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.
