Why It Matters?
When you invest in outdoor furniture for your hotel, resort, café, or villa, you’re not just buying a chair or a sun lounger – you’re buying comfort, durability, and guest experience. One of the most important (but often hidden) parts of outdoor comfort is the foam inside the cushion. That’s where quick-drying foam, like QuickDry®, makes a big difference. In this article, we’ll explain in simple terms what quick-drying foam is, how it’s made, and why it’s the smart choice for professional hospitality projects.
What Is Quick-Drying Foam?
Quick-drying foam is a special type of open-cell foam designed for outdoor use.
Unlike normal indoor foam (which holds water like a sponge), quick-drying foam:
Allows water to flow through easily
Dries much faster after rain or washing
Inbuilt Uregard, resists mould, mildew, and bad odour
How Quick Drying Foam is made? How is it the best you can buy for outdoor cushions?
QuickDry® starts as a standard foam block. It is then put through a high-pressure Hydro-Blast Reticulation process, where powerful energy blasts remove the thin cell walls inside the foam. This transforms the foam into a highly porous, open-cell structure—almost like a 3D mesh. Because of these large, open pores, water drains out very quickly and fresh air can move through the foam continuously. This is why QuickDry® performs much better than normal, closed-cell foam for outdoor cushions: it dries faster, stays fresher, and is far more suitable for wet and humid environments.
