Luxury Meets Durability: Why Bliss Ultra Is the Outdoor Performance Leather You’ve Been Waiting For

When it comes to outdoor furniture, you shouldn’t have to choose between style and strength. That’s where Bliss Ultra comes in—an engineered performance leather designed to bring elevated looks and everyday durability together in one remarkable material.

If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor space with seating that feels luxurious but lives like it’s ready for anything, here’s why Bliss Ultra deserves a spot in your backyard.

What Is Bliss Ultra?

Bliss Ultra is a next-generation outdoor performance material crafted to mimic the look and feel of premium leather—without the upkeep or weather limitations. Designed for use outdoors, it resists fading, cracking, and damage from sun, moisture, and everyday wear.

It combines the soft, tactile feel of indoor leather with the long-lasting resilience needed to thrive outside in all kinds of conditions. Even if you live somewhere hot, rainy, or humid (hello, summer storms or poolside splash zones), this fabric stays strong and beautiful—while many others would start falling apart.

The Look of Luxury

Let’s be honest—leather looks good. Bliss Ultra offers a rich, supple texture and finish that adds an upscale touch to any outdoor seating area. Whether you’re pairing it with powder-coated aluminum, rope accents, or wood-look frames, it instantly elevates the overall aesthetic.

This isn’t your typical outdoor fabric. It’s tailored, refined, and designed to make a statement—while also being environmentally conscious. Each yard of Bliss Ultra fabric contains the equivalent of approximately 8 recycled plastic bottles, making it a beautiful and sustainable choice.

Built for the Outdoors

While Bliss Ultra may look like indoor leather, it’s engineered to outperform it—especially outside. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • UV-Resistant: Won’t crack, fade, or peel in the sun—and it features enhanced UV colorfastness to retain its vibrancy over time.

  • Water-Resistant: Holds up to splashes, spills, and sudden summer storms. It's also resistant to chlorinated and saltwater, making it perfect for poolside lounging.

  • Easy to Clean: Just wipe with a damp cloth—no special treatments needed. It's even bleach-cleanable (1:5 solution) for tougher messes.

  • Kid & Pet Friendly: Durable enough for real life (and real messes).

  • Antimicrobial Protection: Features EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment that resists mildew and bacteria—without using triclosan or triclocarban.

And with a wear rating of 400,000 Wyzenbeek double rubs and 200,000 Martindale cycles, this fabric outperforms even the most demanding durability benchmarks.

Where You’ll Find It

You’ll find Bliss Ultra featured on most Paddy O’ Furniture pieces, adding a refined touch to lounge chairs, dining chairs, sofas, and sectionals. It’s a perfect match for customers who want a high-end feel without high-maintenance requirements. 

Whether you're outfitting a shaded front porch, a sleek fire pit setup, or an entire backyard retreat, Bliss Ultra gives your space that elevated, intentional finish—without compromising on performance. You can shop all of our offerings and se them in Bliss Ultra here.
