The Complete Guide to Outdoor Cushion Sizes: What Fits What

Size is the detail that most people discover matters after they've already bought the wrong thing. A 45cm cover on a 60cm insert looks overstuffed and strained at the zip. A 45cm insert in a 60cm cover looks half-deflated and sad. Getting the dimensions right is straightforward once you understand how the Mojo range is structured — and which sizes suit which furniture types.

The 45cm Format: The Standard Scatter Cushion

The 45cm cushion is the most versatile size in the range and the most commonly used across Australian outdoor settings. It's the standard scatter cushion size — large enough to be comfortable and substantial enough to make a visual impact, but proportionate on a wide range of furniture.

Mojo's 45cm cushion inserts are designed to pair directly with the full Mojo 45cm cover range. This includes the Marrakesh covers, the Cabana Stripe range, Botanical Olive, Solid Navy, Solid Terracotta, Floral Navy, Pinstripe, Warlu Terracotta Circles, and the Leaf cover — giving you a very wide choice within one consistent size.

For a standard two-seater outdoor sofa, allow for four to six 45cm cushions. For an armchair or single outdoor chair, two cushions is usually the right number.

The 60cm Format: The Larger Statement Cushion

The 60cm cushion is noticeably larger — closer to a floor cushion in scale than a scatter cushion. It's best suited to wide outdoor lounges, oversized daybeds, large benches, or floor-level styling where you want the cushion to make a more generous visual contribution.

Mojo's 60cm outdoor cushion inserts and the 60cm Cabana Stripe Green cover are the options in this format. As with the 45cm range, always match insert and cover size precisely for the best result.

Chair Pads and Square Chair Cushions

Chair pads and outdoor square chair cushions are a different category — designed to sit flat on a dining chair seat rather than being placed loosely on a sofa. The Mojo 40cm chair pad is the right choice for most standard outdoor dining chair seats, while the square chair cushion is slightly larger and suited to wider or more generous seating.

These are constructed differently from scatter cushions — they're typically flatter, firmer, and often have ties to secure them to the chair frame.

Bench Cushions

Bench cushions are elongated — designed to run along the seat of a bench or built-in seating. Mojo's outdoor bench cushion range includes the Foliage, Leaf, Marrakesh blue and white, and Navy Cabana Stripe styles. These are full cushions rather than cover-and-insert combinations, so sizing is determined by the cushion rather than a separate insert.

When measuring for a bench cushion, measure the seating depth and length of your bench and match as closely as possible to the available size. A slight undersize is generally preferable to overhang.

Sunlounge Cushions

Sunlounge cushions are the largest format in the Mojo range — long, relatively thin cushions designed to cover the full seat surface of a sun lounger or chaise. Mojo's Foliage outdoor sunlounge cushion is the key option here, designed for standard sun lounger dimensions.
