CushionRite® Dry Fast is an open cell, reticulated foam with antimicrobial properties. The open pores in the foam allow water and air to pass through, making Dry Fast an excellent choice for marine and outdoor applications.

This is high-density foam but after reticulation it behaves more like a medium-density foam; therefore, it should be selected for occasional-use applications and not as berth foam for liveaboard boaters, unless breathability and superior drainage capabilities outweigh the longevity of the foam. Dry Fast’s superior airflow and heat dissipation, as well as its excellent water drainage capabilities, make it well suited for patio cushions and seating and cabin seating and mattresses.

Sailrite recommends covering Dry Fast foam with a high-performance, breathable fabric like Outdura® or Sunbrella® upholstery fabric for the top and sides and Phifertex® mesh or Cushion Underlining for the bottom to allow moisture to escape. Even marine grade Sunbrella or Sattler® can be used for more durability, so long as initial finish crazing and some stiffness are acceptable. If you want to flip your cushions, use any performance fabric mentioned or a similar option for the entire cover. CushionRite Dry Fast is a virtually maintenance-free foam in sun, rain and even snow. Outdoor cushions will not retain water and indoor bedding feels much cooler. Professionals also suggest laminating a thin sheet of closed cell foam to the bottom of Dry Fast for the ultimate in cushion comfort and performance. Before lamination, poke holes with a small grommet hole cutter in the closed cell foam so the foam will drain.
