What Classic Accessories Ravenna Patio Seat is made of, ingredients and materials
This cushion cover is polyester with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish applied to the surface. water-repellent coating coatings on outdoor textiles are typically formulated with fluorochemical compounds to repel water and stains without full waterproofing. The base polyester fiber itself is chemically stable and does not leach additives under normal outdoor use, but the water-repellent coating treatment is the primary concern for this product.
What’s concerning
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Water-repellent finishes on outdoor textiles are predominantly formulated with fluorochemical compounds. Parachute has not disclosed the water-repellent coating chemistry, meaning legacy long-chain PFAS or newer 'short-chain' alternatives cannot be ruled out.
Source, ATSDR ↗Polyester fiber degradation and microfiber shedding
Outdoor UV and weathering can degrade polyester fibers over time, particularly at seams and high-friction areas. Shed microfibers may accumulate in soil or drain systems, though risk is lower with intact covers than with heavily worn textiles.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Water-repellent coating and other chemical finishes applied to textiles can off-gas during manufacturing and initial storage. Off-gassing risk is low after the product is unpacked and aired, but new covers may emit odors for a few days.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating breakdown releasing particles into soil or water
As the water-repellent coating weathers and flakes, particles containing the fluorochemical finish may shed into soil beneath the cushion or into stormwater. Long-term environmental accumulation is difficult to quantify at the individual product level but is a known concern for water-repellent coating-treated textiles in bulk.
What’s reassuring
Dye migration or azo dye residues
No specific recalls or test results on record for Parachute cushion covers. Polyester is typically dyed with disperse dyes, which have low migration risk in finished goods under normal outdoor conditions, but pre-purchase testing data is not publicly available.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Parachute is known for home textiles but has not published transparency reports on PFAS use in outdoor cushion covers or other weatherproofed products. The brand does not list water-repellent coating chemistry on product pages or provide third-party testing for PFAS. No product recalls or known controversies specific to this line are on record, but silence on water-repellent coating composition is a red flag for fluorochemical treatment.
How it compares in its category
Most outdoor cushion covers in this price and quality tier use some form of water-repellent coating finish to extend lifespan in wet climates. Premium alternatives occasionally disclose use of non-fluorinated water-repellent coating or PFOA-free formulations; budget options often do not disclose at all. Parachute's positioning suggests mid-to-premium quality, making the lack of transparency less defensible than mass-market brands.
If you buy it
Contact Parachute directly to ask whether the water-repellent coating finish contains long-chain or short-chain PFAS, and whether they have moved to PFOA-free or non-fluorinated alternatives. Store covers in a dry place when not in use to reduce leaching risk into soil or runoff. Replace covers if the water-repellent coating finish begins to visibly degrade (water no longer beads on the surface), as degraded coatings may shed microfibers or abraded coating particles. Wash by hand or gentle cycle with cool water; avoid hot water or prolonged soaking.
