Sun, rain, and poolside splashes wreck ordinary pillows in a single season, but solution-dyed acrylic locks color at the fiber level and sheds water on contact. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Café Stripe Pillow in red, a 22 x 22 inch weather-resistant outdoor pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in California and shipped with insert included, it brings fade resistance and mildew inhibition to your seating without the Sunbrella premium.

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

Pigment is spun into the fiber during extrusion, not printed or dyed onto the surface, so UV rays can't strip the color out over time. This red stripe pattern stays vibrant through full-sun exposure on a south-facing deck or poolside chaise, and the synthetic fibers repel water instead of absorbing it. When a downpour hits, the fabric sheds rain and dries quickly, which starves the moisture mildew needs to colonize the weave. No textile is fade-proof forever under relentless sun, but solution-dyed acrylic delivers commercial-grade durability for years of outdoor use.

Do You Need to Bring This Inside Every Time It Rains?

No -- the water-resistant fabric is engineered for exposure, so a passing storm won't hurt it. You can leave it on the chair during typical summer showers, and it'll dry fast once the sun returns. That said, if you're headed into days of heavy rain or you're closing the patio for a week, toss it into a deck box or bring it under cover to avoid prolonged saturation. The hidden-zipper cover comes off for spot cleaning, and storing pillows indoors over winter -- even weather-resistant ones -- extends their lifespan by protecting them from freeze-thaw cycles and months of UV when you're not using the space.

Where Does This 22-Inch Pillow Work Best?

The square scale suits deep-seat sofas, oversized club chairs, and sectionals on covered patios or open decks. Layer it with neutral tones from our outdoor pillows collection, or pair two on a bench flanking an outdoor accent chair. The bold red stripe anchors a seating vignette when you mix it with solid outdoor cushions, and it holds its own poolside where chlorine and humidity challenge lesser fabrics. Use it anywhere you'd use indoor throw pillows but need the performance to survive the weather -- dining benches, lounge daybeds, or rocker chairs under a pergola.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The fabric resists rain and UV, but storing it indoors over winter protects it from freeze-thaw damage and extends its life when the patio is closed for the season.

Will the red stripe fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed acrylic resists UV fading far better than printed outdoor fabrics, maintaining color for years in full sun, though extreme exposure will eventually lighten any textile.

Is this suitable for coastal or salt-air locations?

Yes -- the synthetic fibers don't corrode and the fabric resists moisture, making it a solid choice for beachfront patios and breezy balconies near the water.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

This pillow sheds rain thanks to its water-resistant acrylic, though you should avoid leaving it soaked for days or storing it wet to prevent mildew.

How do you clean the cover?

The hidden zipper lets you remove the cover for spot cleaning with mild soap and water; the cover dries quickly when air-dried.

Does this ship free, and does it arrive assembled?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA, and it arrives with the 22 x 22 inch insert already inside -- unpack and place it on your seating.
