What At Home Spice Woven Luxe Lounge Cushion is made of, ingredients and materials
This is a woven outdoor cushion, likely polyester or polyester-blend fabric with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish applied to the surface. The water-repellent coating is the critical unknown, outdoor cushions commonly receive PFAS-based water repellents (perfluorinated compounds), though some brands now use PFAS-free alternatives. The interior fill is typically polyurethane foam, which can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in warm conditions if not properly aged or ventilated before use.
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.
Flame retardants
Many outdoor cushion fabrics are treated with flame retardants to meet safety standards. Rejuvenation does not disclose the type; brominated or chlorinated retardants are possible but not confirmed. Check the care label for chemical treatment notation.

Microfiber shedding and environmental persistence
Woven synthetic outdoor fabrics can shed microfibers, particularly when wet or agitated. This is an environmental rather than direct-to-user hazard, but relevant if the cushion is washed frequently or degrades over time outdoors.
Coating degradation and leaching over time
Water-repellent coating finishes degrade with UV exposure and washing. As the water-repellent coating wears away, any PFAS or other treatment chemicals may leach into moisture or contact. Lifespan is typically 2-4 years depending on climate and care.
What’s reassuring
Heavy metals
No specific safety alerts exist for Rejuvenation outdoor cushion dyes or pigments. Standard outdoor fabric dyes are unlikely to leach into skin with brief contact, but this is not independently verified for this product.

The brand's record and disclosure
Rejuvenation does not publicly disclose which water-repellent coating chemistry they use for outdoor cushion fabrics, nor do they appear to have published a PFAS restriction policy or material transparency statement. The brand is known for home furnishings and design-focused marketing rather than chemical safety communication. No independent recalls or safety alerts specific to Rejuvenation outdoor cushions are on record, but the lack of disclosure is a red flag for consumers seeking low-PFAS options.
How it compares in its category
Outdoor cushions as a category are notorious for silent PFAS use; most major retailers (including high-end brands) do not voluntarily disclose water-repellent coating chemistry. Rejuvenation's silence matches the industry norm, which means this product is neither better nor worse than typical competitors in terms of transparency. Premium outdoor cushion brands that do disclose PFAS-free treatments (e.g., some brands using wax-based or silicone-based water repellents) exist but are rare and often cost more.
If you buy it
Unbox and air the cushion outdoors in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before first use to allow VOC off-gassing from the foam and fabric finish. Do not allow prolonged direct skin contact until you have confirmed with Rejuvenation customer service whether the water-repellent coating finish is PFAS-based; request a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or care label details. Wash the cover if possible per label instructions using cool water and avoid heat drying, which can increase chemical release. Replace the cushion if the fabric begins to pill, tear, or show signs of coating breakdown, as degradation may increase leaching risk.
