Outdoor Bluff Pillow - Blue

Details at a Glance

Polyester engineered to shed rain and resist UV degradation stands up to full sun and nightly dew where cotton fades and mildews in weeks. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Bluff Pillow in Blue, a 22-inch weather-resistant outdoor pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Water-resistant construction and fade-resistant fabric deliver patio performance that indoor throw pillows cannot match.

How Does Polyester Fabric Handle Full Sun and Rain?

Polyester fibers resist UV breakdown that causes cotton and blended fabrics to fade to pale shadows after one summer. The synthetic structure sheds water instead of absorbing it, so the pillow dries quickly after rain and does not hold the moisture that triggers mildew growth. The fabric maintains its vibrant blue color through seasons of direct sun exposure on unshaded decks and pool surrounds. This is not treated cotton -- it is polyester woven specifically to repel water and resist the photodegradation that full-spectrum sunlight causes.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The water-resistant design lets you leave this pillow out through light rain and humidity, though bringing it under cover during heavy storms or snow extends its lifespan. Storing outdoor pillows in a deck box or covered porch during the off-season protects the hidden zipper hardware and keeps the fabric cleaner. If you do leave it out, the polyester will dry quickly once the weather clears, but months of standing water will eventually degrade any outdoor textile.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 22-inch square format fits sectional seats, lounge chairs, and benches without overwhelming smaller outdoor accent chairs. Layer it with other outdoor pillows in coordinating solids or patterns to build depth across seating groups. Pair it with outdoor accessories like all-weather throws or planters to pull together a cohesive patio palette that holds up to the elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The water-resistant polyester can handle year-round exposure in mild climates, though bringing it under cover during heavy winter storms or snow protects the zipper and extends the fabric's life.

Will the blue fabric fade in direct sun?

The fade-resistant polyester construction protects color integrity through extended UV exposure, maintaining the blue tone where untreated fabrics bleach out in a single season.

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

Polyester resists the corrosion and mildew that salt air accelerates, and the hidden zipper protects hardware from rust, making it a sound choice for seaside patios.

How do you clean the pillow?

Remove the cover via the hidden zipper, then machine wash or spot clean it and air dry before reassembling.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

The water-resistant design sheds rain and dries quickly, though pulling pillows under a roof during downpours reduces wear over time.

Does this ship fully assembled?

The pillow arrives complete with cover and insert; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
