Outdoor Bedford Lumbar Pillow - Stone

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed acrylic handles full-sun exposure and summer downpours without the color bleed and mildew buildup that ruin standard fabric after one season outdoors. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Bedford Lumbar Pillow in Stone, a 13 x 21-inch outdoor lumbar pillow with solution-dyed acrylic fabric and quick-dry polyester fill, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The cover unzips for machine washing, and the insert sheds water fast enough to stay usable after a rainstorm.

How Does Solution-Dyed Acrylic Hold Up to UV and Rain?

The color goes into the fiber during production, not after the fabric is woven, so UV rays can't strip it out the way they fade surface-dyed cloth. Rain runs off the acrylic face, and the quick-dry polyester fill inside releases moisture within hours instead of staying damp and breeding mold. You'll see the same stone tone after three summers of direct sun that you had the day it arrived, and the pillow dries completely between storms without that swampy smell indoor cushions develop when they get wet.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside After Every Rain?

No -- the quick-dry fill and water-resistant fabric are built to handle weather exposure without immediate intervention. Wipe off standing water if you want it dry for evening use, but the materials won't rot or mildew if you leave it out. For winter or extended stretches of bad weather, store outdoor pillows in a covered bin or garage to extend their lifespan, but occasional rain between uses won't damage this construction.

Where Does Lower-Back Support Work Best on a Patio?

Position the 21-inch width behind you on outdoor accent chairs, sectional corners, or bench seating where you sit upright for meals or conversation -- about six to eight inches up from the seat base hits the natural lumbar curve. Layer it in front of larger square throw pillows on deeper lounge furniture, or use two spaced evenly across a wide outdoor sofa. The stone neutral pairs with brighter accent colors in your outdoor accessories without competing for attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade after a full summer in direct sun?

No -- solution-dyed acrylic embeds color into the fiber during production, so UV exposure won't strip it out the way it does with surface-dyed fabric.

Can it stay outside if it rains?

Yes, the quick-dry fill and water-resistant acrylic shed moisture rapidly and prevent mold growth, though wiping off standing water speeds drying for immediate use.

How do you clean the cover when pollen and dust build up?

Unzip and remove the cover, machine wash it, then air dry. The quick-dry fill maintains its shape and resists moisture during cleaning.

Is this pillow suitable for a coastal patio with salt air?

Yes, solution-dyed acrylic and polyester fill resist salt corrosion and moisture better than natural fibers or foam cores that degrade in humid, salty conditions.

What's the best way to store outdoor pillows over winter?

Place them in a covered bin or garage during months of non-use to protect against freeze-thaw cycles and extend their lifespan, even though the materials can handle occasional cold-weather exposure.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor assemble or set up pillows after delivery?

Standard curbside delivery is free; the pillow arrives ready to use with the insert included, and no assembly is required.
