Comfort without compromise
At Outmore Living, we design for real life - not just ideal conditions. That’s why our heated outdoor furniture isn’t just about luxury or design; it’s also about safety, usability, and family comfort. We believe that luxury outdoor living should be worry-free, whether you’re hosting dinner under the stars or letting your kids and pets play in the yard.
So, let’s get into what really matters: safety, reliability, and peace of mind. Below, we’ll answer the top questions customers ask about heated patio furniture and show how Outmore’s designs lead with technology, not just style.
Safety certifications and technology behind the heat
Safety concerns around outdoor furniture aren’t just theoretical. According to Underwriters Laboratories, over 3,000 people visited the emergency room in one year due to outdoor furniture injuries-from unstable frames to hazardous design flaws. This growing concern has led consumers to demand products that go beyond aesthetics and truly prioritize user safety.
Outmore’s cordless heated outdoor furniture is powered by our proprietary HeatTech™ system. This battery-powered heated outdoor furniture is designed with rigorous safety standards and testing at every level. Here’s how we back it up:
- Certified Lithium-Ion Battery Safety: Our power bars are tested and certified under the UN 38.3 protocol-the global standard for lithium battery safety. This ensures they meet exacting requirements around shock, vibration, overcharge, thermal testing, and more.
- Internal Protections: Every battery is equipped with multiple internal safety layers, including overcurrent protection, overcharge prevention, and short-circuit detection.
- Built-In Automatic Shutoff: HeatTech™ includes built-in safety features that turn off the heat after extended periods of inactivity or overheating detection, giving families peace of mind even if someone forgets to power it down manually.
Can heated furniture burn you?
This is one of the most common concerns people have when they hear “heated furniture.” But here’s the truth:
Outmore’s heated cushions operate at safe, human-comfortable temperatures. At their peak, they reach approximately 120°F (49°C) - well below the threshold required to cause burns on contact. To put it into context, heated car seats function at similar levels. And unlike space heaters or heated blankets with concentrated coils, our HeatTech™ design distributes warmth evenly across the seat using embedded carbon fiber panels-no hot spots.
Think of it more like radiant floor heating than a heating pad: steady, even, body-level warmth that’s cozy but never sharp or sudden.
Is it safe to leave heated furniture on overnight?
Outmore’s system was specifically designed with family lifestyles in mind, especially those nights when you're tired and forget to turn things off. Our built-in automatic shutoff engages after 3 hours of inactivity, so even if the furniture is left on unintentionally, it won’t continue running all night.
Additionally, our cordless outdoor furniture uses battery-powered systems, meaning there’s no ongoing electrical current running from your house or an outlet. That makes them far safer than plug-in alternatives and a more secure option in varied weather conditions (ie all four seasons).
Child safety by age: What parents should know
When it comes to young kids, we get it; curious hands, sensitive skin, and energetic bodies need extra consideration. Here’s what Outmore recommends:
- Under 3 years old: Supervised use only. While the furniture itself is safe and the heating temperature won’t burn, toddlers shouldn’t be left unattended on any heated surface (ours or others).
- Ages 3–7: Occasional use is encouraged with adult supervision. Be sure they’re seated properly and understand not to remove or tamper with cushions or battery compartments (hard to do, we promise).
- Ages 7+: Our furniture is safe for normal, independent use, just like any other seating.
The cushion materials are soft, breathable, and designed to meet durability standards-especially for families with young children. Outmore uses trusted outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella®, which are known for their long-lasting performance and safety. Plus, the heating panels are fully sealed within layers of insulation and upholstery, with no exposed tech.
Is heated furniture safe for pets?
Pets love warmth, but they also love scratching, chewing, and making your furniture their own. That’s why our heated patio furniture is designed with both comfort and safety for furry companions:
- Temperature: Safe for lounging and napping. The cushion temperature never rises above safe thresholds.
- Material Durability: Outmore uses scratch and water-resistant performance fabrics, which makes them more resilient to paws and messes.
- Vet Input: According to veterinary wellness experts, mild radiant heat poses no harm to healthy dogs or cats. In fact, older pets with joint stiffness may benefit from the added warmth.
That said, for pets with specific medical conditions or very young puppies/kittens, it’s always best to consult your vet about extended heat exposure.

Designed for modern outdoor living
The beauty of battery-powered heated furniture is that it doesn’t just solve a problem, it invites a new lifestyle. From luxury outdoor living to year-round outdoor spaces, families are rethinking how they use their patios, porches, and backyards.
The heating pads are embedded in the seat and back cushions themselves, so the warmth surrounds you where you feel it most. There are no cords to drag across the yard, no outlet restrictions, and no eye-sore heaters hogging space. Just warm, modern outdoor furniture where you want it, when you want it.
By giving families the freedom to design for both outdoor luxury and outdoor comfort, Outmore is creating more than furniture. It’s creating rituals. Whether you're hosting neighbors in early spring, letting kids stargaze before bed, or stretching the tail-end of summer into fall, this kind of comfort invites return.
Warmth you can trust
Outmore Living believes comfort should never come at the cost of peace of mind. That’s why their cordless heated furniture is designed with safety as thoughtfully as style. While traditional fire-based heating raises concerns for families, Outmore’s smart temperature control, advanced battery technology, and design-forward features create a safer, more effortless way to enjoy the outdoors-without compromise.
From how to stay warm outside in winter to extending the outdoor season, Outmore is leading the way in modern outdoor design trends. The result is not just a warm chair-it’s a better way to live.
