Outdoor Sofas vs Indoor Sofas

The differences between indoor and outdoor sofas are few but, somewhat obvious.

The main differences are the design styles which may seem obvious to the naked eye, and less obvious, the fabrics used for the upholstery and cushions and the materials used for the frames.

Sofa Design Styles

The design styles of outdoor sofas is usually obvious. The arms and base tend have more open air styling – meaning that they are not fully upholstered as with most indoor sofas.

This means a different look but also an outdoor sofa tends to look less comfortable due to the hard surfaces on the arms versus an upholstered soft sofa arm and back.

Part of the reason for these differences in design was due necessity. Because the materials available for outdoor furniture in the past were not as accessible or durable enough for outside use (mostly the fabric), designs had to focus on the hard frames and not the soft upholstered part of a sofa.

While that is still true for the most part, times and materials have changed, and so have outdoor sofa designs.

Sofa Materials

The other major difference is the fabrics and materials used to manufacture each type of sofa.

Outdoor sofas require frame materials which are weatherproof or weather resistant such as teak wood, aluminum, stainless steel, resin wicker, genuine wicker or cast aluminum. Indoor sofas do not require the same amount of care in the frame materials as most will be fully covered in fabric.

As well, the fabrics used for indoor versus outdoor sofas need to be different. Obviously, an outdoor sofa will require fabric which will withstand all weather conditions including heat, sun and sun’s rays, cold, wind, and of course, water and rain. One of the best fabrics for upholstering outdoor sofas and cushions is Sunbrella.

Most of the sofas featured here are covered with Sunbrella fabrics – considered one of the best outdoor fabrics on the market – making them super durable and long lasting as well as fade, stain and mold resistant.
