Outdoor Charleston Pillow - Palm

Details at a Glance

Outdoor cushions left in full sun and rain fade to pastels or grow mildew before the season ends. This 22-inch square pillow uses solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic that locks color into every fiber before weaving, so the tropical palm print holds up through UV exposure and summer storms. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Charleston Pillow in Palm is a weather-resistant outdoor pillow available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The removable cover unzips for cleaning, and the whole piece is hand-cut and sewn in California.

How Does Sunbrella Acrylic Handle Full Sun and Rain?

Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed -- the pigment goes into the molten fiber before it's woven, not printed on afterward. That means UV rays can't strip the surface color because the color runs all the way through. The fabric also repels water at the molecular level, so rain beads off instead of soaking in. You won't see the mildew bloom that shows up on cotton or polyester blends after a humid week. This construction is the reason coastal resorts and yacht upholstery rely on Sunbrella for years of outdoor exposure without replacement.

Can You Leave This Pillow Outside All Year?

The Sunbrella fabric is engineered for continuous outdoor use, but no outdoor pillow lasts forever if you never move it. Rain will shed off the acrylic, though pulling cushions into a shed or garage during multi-day storms keeps the fill dry and extends the life of the zipper. In winter, store the pillow indoors or in a sealed deck box to prevent ice damage and keep dust from settling into the weave. Removing the cover for off-season washing takes thirty seconds and keeps the palm print looking fresh year after year.

Where Should You Use a 22-Inch Weather-Resistant Pillow?

This square fits standard deep-seat sectionals, outdoor accent chairs, and porch swings where afternoon sun hits hardest. Pair two or three of them with solid Sunbrella cushions from the outdoor pillows collection to layer pattern and texture on a sofa, or use a single one as a back support on a teak bench. The palm print works with natural wood, all-weather wicker, and powder-coated aluminum frames. Add a few pieces from the outdoor accessories collection -- a lantern or a weatherproof tray -- and you've built a complete seating vignette that holds up to the elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade if it sits in direct sun all day?

Sunbrella acrylic resists UV fading far longer than cotton or polyester, though all outdoor fabric experiences gradual color shift after years of uninterrupted full-sun exposure.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Sunbrella acrylic repels moisture and resists mildew, making it a strong choice for humid and salt-air environments where standard fabrics degrade quickly.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure and remove the cover. Most Sunbrella fabrics can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water or machine-washed on gentle.
