Sun & Shade: Innovative Cushion Coupling Systems for Marine Upholstery

Share:

Sun & Shade is a specialist in upholstery and technical coverings, with a strong focus on the nautical and maritime industries. The company offers a comprehensive range of products, including summer and winter covers, awnings, shade sails, bimini tops, spray hoods, lazy bags, wheel and porthole covers, doghouses, and much more. In short, Sun & Shade handles upholstery from A to Z—outdoor covers, custom cushions, and interior solutions alike.

Cushion Coupling Systems

At the heart of Sun & Shade’s innovation is a patented fastening system designed to revolutionize the way cushions and covers are secured on board. The system is tool-free, drill-free, and made from recyclable plastic materials—eliminating the risk of infiltration and reducing installation time without compromising on durability or aesthetics.

In recent years, the company has developed a new line of outdoor cushions that are fully water-repellent, offering long-term performance and superior comfort even in the harshest marine environments.

High-Performance Awnings

Sun & Shade’s technical awnings are another highlight. Made from certified flame-retardant micro-perforated mesh, they significantly reduce thermal load—cutting the temperature difference between sun-exposed and shaded areas by up to 38%. It’s a clear example of how functional design meets sustainability and safety.

By combining advanced materials with smart, user-friendly design, Sun & Shade delivers complete, innovative, and sustainable upholstery solutions for the marine world.
