Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Azo dyes and synthetic colorants
Multicolor medallion pattern requires disperse or reactive dyes typical in synthetic fabrics. No brand testing or restriction statements are on record; heavy-metal contamination in dyes is not established for this product but possible in non-certified textiles.
Antimony in polyester fiber
If the cushion fabric is 100% or majority polyester (common for outdoor durability), antimony trioxide may be present as a catalyst residue. Ejection risk is low during normal use but increases if fabric is heated, abraded, or degraded.
Flame retardants
Outdoor cushions are often treated with brominated or chlorinated flame retardants to meet flammability codes. Rejuvenation has not disclosed whether this chaise includes such treatments or uses alternatives like inherently flame-resistant fibers.
Source, EPA ↗Coating or finish degradation over time
Water-repellent or UV-protective coatings applied to outdoor fabrics can peel, crack, or leach particulates after extended UV and moisture exposure. No durability testing or warranty details are publicly stated for this model.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Formaldehyde-based sizing and wrinkle-resistance treatments are less common in outdoor upholstery than in apparel, but are still used in some cushion production. No recalls or test results indicate this product contains formaldehyde releasers.

What it's made of and why it matters
The Rejuvenation Multicolor Medallion Sandstone Chaise is an upholstered outdoor cushion, with 'sandstone' referring to the fabric color and weave, not the mineral. The actual fiber content is not specified in standard product literature, so the base material (polyester, cotton blend, acrylic, or synthetic outdoor fabric) cannot be confirmed without vendor contact. Outdoor cushion fabrics are frequently treated with water repellents, UV stabilizers, and sometimes flame retardants to meet durability and safety codes. Without disclosed fiber type and finish specifications, potential hazards around synthetic dyes, antimony in polyester, and stain treatments remain unquantified.
The brand's record and disclosure
Rejuvenation is a home furnishings brand known for design-forward, mid-range indoor and outdoor goods. The brand has not published comprehensive material safety disclosures, chemical restriction policies, or third-party textile certifications (such as OEKO-TEX, GOTS, or Cradle to Cradle) in widely accessible form. No major product recalls or chemical hazard controversies are on public record for Rejuvenation cushions. The PFAS stance noted as 'silent' means the brand has not voluntarily disclosed whether outdoor fabric treatments include PFAS-based water repellents.
How it compares in its category
Outdoor cushion fabrics vary widely in chemical treatment. Premium brands (e.g., Sunbrella, Perennials) publish fiber content, treatment details, and often hold textile certifications. Rejuvenation cushions occupy the middle market and do not consistently disclose these details. Generic outdoor cushions at lower price points rarely disclose treatments at all. The Sandstone Medallion chaise is typical for its tier, aesthetically competitive but less transparent than certified alternatives.
If you buy it
Before purchase, contact Rejuvenation directly to confirm fiber content (polyester, cotton, acrylic, or blend) and whether fabric has been treated with flame retardants, water repellents, or other chemical finishes. Store cushions indoors or under cover during off-season to reduce UV and moisture exposure, which can accelerate fiber breakdown and leaching of absorbed treatments. Avoid washing with hot water or harsh detergents; use mild soap and cool water if spot-cleaning is needed. Inspect for pilling, discoloration, or odors annually; replace if coating or fabric degrades visibly.
