Most outdoor throw pillows lose their color after a single season because the dye sits on the surface and breaks down under UV exposure. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Blockweave Pillow in indigo, a 22-inch square fade-resistant pillow handcrafted in California, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Solution-dyed polyester locks color into the fiber before weaving, so this pillow holds its grey-indigo tone through years of full-sun placement on a patio or poolside.

How Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed polyester bonds color to the fiber before the fabric is woven, which means UV rays can't strip pigment the way they do with surface-printed or dyed fabrics. This pillow resists fading even in full-sun exposure where cheaper pillows bleach out in weeks. The water-resistant cover sheds rain and poolside splashes without absorbing moisture, so the fill stays dry and mildew doesn't take hold. UV resistance is built into the fiber itself, not applied as a coating that wears off, which is why hospitality designers spec this material for high-traffic outdoor spaces.

Do You Need to Store This Pillow Indoors Every Night?

No -- the water-resistant cover and solution-dyed construction let this pillow stay outside through normal weather. Rain dries quickly and won't penetrate the fill. You should bring it inside or store it in a deck box during heavy storms or winter freeze-thaw cycles, since prolonged exposure to standing water or ice can eventually stress seams and zippers. The removable cover unzips when you're ready to stow it for the season, and the 4-pound weight keeps it from blowing off chairs in moderate wind.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

The 22-inch square size fits deep-seat lounge chairs, sectionals, and porch swings without sliding around -- the 4-pound weight anchors it. Layer it with neutral pieces from our [outdoor pillows](/collections/outdoor-pillows) collection on a sectional, or pair it with an [outdoor accent chair](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs) in a reading corner. The blockweave texture adds depth without clashing with coastal or modern farmhouse schemes, and the grey-indigo tone bridges indoor and outdoor palettes if you're linking a living room to a deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade in direct sun?

No -- solution-dyed polyester locks color into the fiber before weaving, so UV rays can't strip pigment even in full-sun placement.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the water-resistant cover sheds rain and dries quickly, though you should avoid leaving it in standing water for days.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and spot-clean with mild soap and water, then air-dry.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- the synthetic polyester fiber resists salt air and moisture without corroding or developing mildew the way natural fabrics can.

Do I need to bring this inside every winter?

Not for short cold snaps, but prolonged freeze-thaw cycles and ice can stress seams, so store it in a deck box or indoors when temperatures stay below freezing.

Does this ship assembled and ready to use?

Yes, it arrives fully finished with the insert inside -- just remove packaging and place it on your furniture. Free curbside delivery is included.
