Outdoor Bliss Pillow - Smoke

Details at a Glance

Outdoor cushions that sit through full sun and afternoon rain showers lose their color and shape faster than most buyers expect. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Bliss Pillow in Smoke, a 22-inch square weather-resistant pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Built from 100% solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic and handcrafted in California, it resists the UV fade and mildew that ruin standard pillows within a season.

How Does Solution-Dyed Sunbrella Acrylic Handle Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed acrylic means the color is embedded into each fiber before the yarn is spun, not printed on afterward. When UV rays hit the fabric, there's no surface layer to bleach out -- the color runs through the entire strand. Sunbrella acrylic also sheds water instead of absorbing it, so the pillow dries quickly after rain and resists the damp conditions that feed mildew. You'll see minimal color shift even after years of direct sunlight, and the fabric holds up through coastal salt air without weakening. This construction is what makes Sunbrella pillows last five to ten years outdoors where untreated fabric fails in one.

Can This Pillow Stay Outside Year-Round?

Sunbrella acrylic is engineered to handle rain and sun, but bringing the pillow under a covered porch or storing it indoors during heavy storms and the off-season extends its life. The removable cover has a hidden zipper -- you can unzip it, machine wash it in cold water on gentle cycle, and air dry. Spot clean the insert as needed. If you leave it out through winter, expect faster wear in regions with freeze-thaw cycles or prolonged snow cover.

Where Does This 22-Inch Square Work Best?

A 22-inch pillow fits most outdoor sofas, benches, porch swings and lounge chairs without crowding the seat. Layer the Smoke colorway with lighter tones or patterned pieces from the outdoor pillows collection to add depth, or pair it with fade-resistant cushions on outdoor accent chairs for a cohesive look. The neutral gray tone pairs with most patio furniture finishes and works as a bridge color when you're mixing textures across outdoor accessories.

Unzip the removable cover, machine wash it in cold water on gentle cycle, and air dry. Spot clean the insert as needed.

Does it ship fully assembled?

A 22-inch square works on most deep-seat sectionals; pair two or three along the backrest, or mix with smaller accent sizes for layered texture. Our guide to designing your outdoor living space walks through proportion and placement.
