Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic locks pigment into the fiber before weaving, so this 22-inch-square outdoor pillow resists UV fade and moisture far better than surface-dyed cotton or polyester ever could. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Carlsbad Pillow in Guava -- a bold red accent pillow handcrafted in California -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Sunbrella fabric meets GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality standards and is the leading choice for hospitality and commercial outdoor applications where textiles face full sun and rain.

Will Sunbrella Fabric Fade in Direct Sun?

Sunbrella resists UV fading up to eight times longer than conventional outdoor fabrics because the dye is locked into the acrylic fiber during production, not applied to the surface afterward. You can leave this Guava red pillow on a south-facing deck or poolside chaise through a full summer, and the color stays true. Water beads off the acrylic weave instead of soaking in, so the pillow dries quickly after rain. Sunbrella's fade resistance is why it dominates hospitality terraces and coastal resorts where replacing sun-bleached textiles gets expensive fast.

Do You Need to Bring This Inside for Winter?

Sunbrella acrylic itself won't degrade outdoors year-round, but prolonged saturation can affect the insert, so it's smart to store the pillow during heavy storms or the wettest months. The removable cover unzips easily for cleaning or off-season storage. If you keep it on a covered porch where rain doesn't pool, the pillow can stay out most of the year -- just let it air-dry if it gets soaked. Mildew resistance is built into the fabric, but no outdoor textile stays pristine forever if it sits wet for weeks.

Where Does a 22-Inch Weather-Resistant Pillow Work Best?

This square size fits standard patio seating, sectionals, benches, and porch swings -- anywhere you'd layer an accent throw pillow indoors. Pair it with other [outdoor pillows](/collections/outdoor-pillows) to add depth to a neutral sofa, or use it as a bold contrast on wicker [outdoor accent chairs](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs). The Guava red colorway brings warmth to gray or teak furniture and complements terracotta planters and other [outdoor accessories](/collections/outdoor-accessories). When you bring your cushions inside for the season, this pillow transitions easily to indoor furniture if you want year-round use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic sheds water quickly, though letting the pillow air-dry or storing it during extended downpours prevents the insert from staying damp and extends lifespan.

What makes Sunbrella worth the price?

Solution-dyed acrylic resists fading up to eight times longer than untreated fabrics, so you replace pillows less often in high-UV or high-use environments.

Will this work on a coastal porch with salt air?

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic handles salt air and high humidity without mildewing, making it ideal for beachfront or lakefront locations.

Can you remove the cover for cleaning?

Yes -- the hidden zipper lets you remove both the cover and insert; spot-clean the Sunbrella fabric or hand-wash as needed.

Does this pillow ship fully assembled?

Yes -- it arrives ready to use; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.

Is it too bright if I already have colorful furniture?

Guava red is bold, so it works best as an accent with neutral bases or to echo other warm tones; if your seating is already saturated, consider a softer hue.
