Big Joe Outdoor® Molded Core Patio Sectional Warranty Policy

Comfort Research, the creators of Big Joe, proudly stands (and sits!) behind every product purchased from buybigjoe.com or one of our authorized retail partners. Warranty claims must be accompanied by a purchase receipt and the following photos:

Please note:

  • Products purchased from unauthorized sellers are not eligible for warranty coverage. Please click here for a list of authorized sellers. This list may exclude some of our independent brick and mortar retailers. Please contact our support team for more information.
  • Warranty claims must be supported by proof of purchase and photographic evidence of the issue.
  • Warranty Coverage 
    Comfort Research (the “Company”) warrants to the original purchaser that its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase (the “Warranty Period”).
  • Customers are allowed one replacement per purchase during this warranty period. 

What is Covered: 

Our warranty guarantees the durability of the following features for 12 months from the date of purchase, when used under normal conditions with proper care: 

  • Premature fabric breakdown that affects usability 
  • Seam failure due to material degradation 
  • Structural integrity issues tied to material defects

What the Warranty Does Not Cover

To ensure fairness and consistency, the 1-year warranty excludes common environmental and use-related wear:

Not covered:

  • Gradual fading or color change from sun exposure
  • Everyday wear and tear from outdoor conditions
  • Staining, mildew, or discoloration
  • Damage from chemicals (including chlorine, sunscreen, or saltwater)
  • Improper storage or leaving items exposed year-round in harsh environments

👉 In short: If the product is still functional but shows signs of typical outdoor aging, it is not considered a warranty issue.

How We Evaluate Claims

When a warranty claim is submitted, we review the following:

  1. Type of issue
    • Is it a structural or material failure, or normal wear?
  2. Usage conditions
    • Was the product used in a residential setting with reasonable care?
  3. Environmental exposure
    • Has it been exposed to extreme UV, chemicals, or continuous outdoor conditions?
  4. Timeframe
    • Is the issue within the 1-year warranty period?

Important: Commercial & Institutional Use

Our products are designed and tested for residential use only.

  • They have not been tested for commercial, rental, or academic environments (e.g., resorts, hotels, schools, or shared-use facilities)
  • These environments typically involve higher frequency of use, heavier wear, and more extreme conditions

👉 Because of this, we cannot guarantee product longevity or performance under those conditions, and warranty coverage may not apply.
