There are two additional properties useful for lounge chair pads because of their unique location specificity. First, they need to be fade resistant as they are constantly exposed to ultraviolet light. Second they should be very easy to clean, and stain resistant. That is, stains should not penetrate and permanently become fixed in the fabric easily.

The interior can be any kind of fill, but foam and polyester fiber fills are the most common as they are cheaper. Polyester fiber fills have varying softness and warmth, so the lounge chair pad conceivably can be used in colder times.
