Outdoor Autumn Leaves Pillow

Details at a Glance

Standard pillows left on patio furniture lose color and develop mildew after a single season of sun and moisture exposure. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Autumn Leaves Pillow fights both problems with fade-resistant polyester and a water-repellent finish that keeps the fabric dry through light rain and morning dew. This 22x22 in. outdoor pillow is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Fade-Resistant Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

Fade-resistant polyester is treated to slow the UV breakdown that turns bright colors chalky and dull after months in direct sun. The synthetic fiber itself doesn't absorb moisture the way cotton does, so it dries faster and resists the mildew that grows on damp natural fabrics. You'll still see gradual fading over years of continuous full-sun exposure -- no outdoor textile is UV-proof forever -- but the treated polyester on this pillow keeps its color intensity far longer than untreated fabric. The water-resistant finish adds a second layer of defense by shedding light rain and poolside splashes before they reach the insert.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside When It Rains?

This pillow repels light rain and morning moisture, so it doesn't need to come inside every time the forecast calls for drizzle. The water-resistant treatment keeps the surface dry, and the polyester dries quickly after brief exposure. Prolonged downpours can still saturate the insert over time, so pulling the pillow under a covered porch or storing it in a deck box during heavy storms extends its life. Between rainstorms, the removable cover unzips so you can pull the insert and air it out if needed. Store the pillow indoors or in waterproof storage during the off-season to prevent UV and moisture accumulation when you're not using your outdoor space.

Where Does This 22-Inch Pillow Work Best?

The 22-inch square size fills deep-seating sectionals and lounge chairs without overwhelming smaller accent chairs. The autumn leaf pattern pairs well with natural wood and wicker furniture on covered porches, and the multicolor palette works with earth-tone cushions across your /collections/outdoor-pillows collection. Use it as lumbar support on outdoor dining chairs during long dinners, or layer it on poolside loungers where the water-resistant finish handles splashes. You can also bring it inside during fall months to refresh indoor seating -- the fade-resistant fabric transitions between spaces as the weather shifts. Pair it with /collections/outdoor-accessories like weather-resistant lanterns or coordinate it with cushions on /collections/outdoor-accent-chairs to tie a patio layout together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The fade-resistant and water-resistant construction handle seasonal weather, but storing it indoors or in waterproof storage during winter and heavy storms prevents long-term UV and moisture damage.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

The fade-resistant polyester treatment slows UV-related color loss significantly, though all outdoor fabrics experience gradual fading over years of continuous full-sun exposure.

How do I clean the pillow cover?

Unzip the hidden zipper, remove the cover, and spot-clean with mild soap and water or machine-wash on a gentle cycle according to the care label.

Does the pillow get moldy if it gets wet?

The water-resistant finish and quick-drying polyester resist mildew growth from light rain, though prolonged saturation can still reach the insert, so storing it during heavy storms helps.

Is this suitable for a coastal location with salt air?

Polyester resists salt-air corrosion better than metal hardware, but regular rinsing and covered storage when not in use extend the fabric's life in high-salt environments.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, the pillow arrives complete with cover and insert. Free curbside delivery is included; assembly is not applicable.
