PFAS score
West Elm · Outdoor Cushions
Acadia Outdoor 61in Sofa Cushion
Lower PFAS concern likely, but West Elm discloses nothing, verify stain-resist treatment if present.
This outdoor sofa cushion is standard polyester upholstery. West Elm offers no public statement on PFAS content or water-repellent coating treatments. Outdoor cushions sometimes carry stain-resistant coatings (often PFAS-based), but product specs rarely clarify.
Still want this one anyway? Check the price on Amazon. We’d swap it.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 58% 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.
