Outdoor Café Stripe Lumbar Pillow - Driftwood

Details at a Glance

Standard outdoor pillows fade to pastels and hold moisture after a few weeks of sun and rain, but this lumbar pillow uses solution-dyed acrylic -- color is locked into every fiber before weaving -- so it resists fading even through summer afternoons and sheds water fast enough to prevent mildew in humid climates. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Café Stripe Lumbar Pillow in Driftwood is a weather-resistant outdoor lumbar pillow available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 24 inches wide and 12 inches tall, it tucks neatly behind your lower back on lounge chairs, benches, and porch swings without crowding the seat.

Will the Fabric Fade After a Season of Direct Sun?

No -- solution-dyed acrylic locks pigment into the fiber before the yarn is woven, which means the color runs all the way through instead of sitting on the surface where UV rays can break it down. That gives you fade resistance far superior to surface-dyed or printed outdoor fabrics, even when the pillow sits in full sun all afternoon. The Driftwood stripe will hold its tone through multiple seasons of exposure. This is the same technology behind the best-known outdoor fabrics, and it's why pillows in our outdoor pillows collection keep their color year after year.

Can This Pillow Get Rained On?

Yes -- the acrylic fabric is water resistant, so rain beads up and rolls off instead of soaking through, and the pillow dries quickly when the storm passes. That quick-dry behavior is what prevents mold and mildew from taking hold in humid climates or after a summer thunderstorm. You can leave it on the furniture between uses without worry. That said, bringing pillows inside during prolonged storms or storing them over winter will extend their life, especially in regions with freeze-thaw cycles or heavy snow.

How Do You Use a Lumbar Pillow on Patio Furniture?

A lumbar pillow sits vertically behind your lower back, filling the gap between your spine and the chair frame on deep outdoor sofas, sectionals, or lounge chairs. The 24-inch width fits standard seating, and the 12-inch height provides targeted support without blocking your shoulders. Pair it with square throw pillows for a layered look on sectionals, or use two lumbar pillows side-by-side on a daybed or outdoor bench. The neutral Driftwood stripe coordinates with teak, wicker, and powder-coated aluminum frames across our outdoor accent chairs and works as a visual anchor when you're mixing colors in outdoor accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The fabric resists sun and rain, but storing the pillow indoors over winter -- especially in regions with snow, ice, or sustained below-freezing temperatures -- will extend its lifespan and keep the fill lofted.

Will it work in a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- solution-dyed acrylic resists moisture and UV without the metal hardware or foam that corrodes in salt air, though rinsing the cover occasionally will prevent salt buildup.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden zipper, remove the cover, and spot-clean or machine-wash on gentle with mild detergent, then air-dry completely before reassembling.

Does the pillow come fully assembled?

Yes -- the insert is inside the cover and the pillow is ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included; assembly services are not needed for pillows.

What makes solution-dyed acrylic different from regular outdoor fabric?

The pigment is added to the liquid acrylic before it's extruded into fiber, so the color runs through the entire strand instead of being printed or dyed onto the surface -- that's why it resists fading far longer than standard outdoor textiles.

Can you leave outdoor pillows on furniture between uses?

You can, because the fabric dries quickly and resists mildew, but bringing them in during heavy storms or when you're away for weeks will keep them looking newer longer, especially if you're following the tips in our guide to designing your outdoor living space.
