It's one of the most common questions in the cushion category, and an easy thing to get wrong before you've had the experience of arriving home with covers and no inserts — or inserts with covers that don't fit. Understanding how the two work together makes buying simpler and your outdoor space more flexible.
What Is a Cushion Cover?
A cushion cover is the outer fabric shell — the part you see, touch, and style with. It typically has a zip closure so it can be slipped on and off an insert. Covers are where most of the visual work happens: the pattern, the colour, the texture, the feel of the space.
Buying covers separately gives you significant flexibility. You can change the look of your outdoor area without replacing the entire cushion — simply swap covers between seasons, refresh a colour palette, or try a new pattern without committing to a full purchase every time.
Mojo offers a wide range of 45cm and 60cm cushion covers at Bunnings, from the bold geometric repeat of the Marrakesh range to the quiet stripe of the Cabana collection and the leafy botanical prints that bring a sense of nature into an outdoor setting.
What Is a Cushion Insert?
The insert is the padded inner that sits inside the cover and gives it shape, structure, and comfort. A good outdoor insert is made from a hollow-fibre polyester fill that resists moisture, dries quickly, and holds its form through regular use.
Mojo cushion inserts come in 45cm and 60cm sizes and are designed to pair directly with the Mojo cover range. Using a matched insert and cover gives you a well-proportioned, full-looking cushion without overstuffing or underfilling.
What Is a Full Outdoor Cushion?
A full outdoor cushion — like a chair cushion, bench cushion, or sunlounge cushion — is a complete product where the cover and fill are constructed together. These tend to be larger, more structured pieces designed to sit on a specific type of furniture.
Mojo's range includes outdoor square chair cushions, mid-back cushions, bench cushions, and sunlounge cushions, all available at Bunnings in a variety of colourways and patterns. These are ideal for furniture that needs a shaped, fitted seat rather than a loose decorative cushion.
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you're styling a lounge setting, scatter cushions, or decorative elements on a bench or daybed, the cover-and-insert approach gives you the most flexibility and the best value over time. Buy quality inserts once and refresh your covers as your style or the season changes.
If you're furnishing a dining chair, outdoor bench, or sun lounger, a purpose-made full cushion will give you a better fit, more structure underfoot, and a more considered finish.
Many outdoor spaces benefit from both: full cushions for seating surfaces and loose cover-and-insert combinations layered over the top for colour and comfort. The Mojo range at Bunnings is built to work across both approaches, with a consistent quality and aesthetic that ties a full outdoor setting together.
A Quick Size Guide
Mojo 45cm covers and inserts are the standard scatter cushion size — suitable for most outdoor chairs, lounges, and decorative use. The 60cm format is larger and works well for floor cushions, wide benches, or oversized daybed styling. Always match your cover size to your insert size for the best result.
