Unless you want to spring fora vinyl cushion, you have to protect it from the elements. A bench seat cushion for outdoors should run about 10-40 dollars. Even Sunbrella fabric is not weatherproof. You have to bring it inside or get a large plastic sheet and glue the ends to make a bage for it.Helpful Reply -

Use a standard twin mattress. Just cover it with something to make it water proof. Here is a site that walks you thru the construction:https://www.hgtv.com/design/outdoor-design/outdoor-spaces/easy-diy-hanging-daybedHelpful Reply -

Can you use some other mattress or piece of foam and enclose it in a zippered plastic covering? Then of course you'd need a nice fabric covering.Helpful Reply -

Consider lashing a bunch of dollar store noodles together like a raft. Cover with old tent silk or a shower curtain held together with Velcro, since you don’tsew. Just make the appropriate size tube/pillowcase for it. You could also use a foam pool float.Just a thought.Helpful Reply -

it’s not pretty, but what about a blowup mattress or water raft? Or, individual seat cushions put together?Helpful Reply -
