Outdoor Conch Pillow - Tahiti

Details at a Glance

This pillow's 100% polyester fabric is engineered to resist UV damage, repel moisture, and block mildew -- three problems that ruin typical cushions within one season on an uncovered patio. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Conch Pillow in Tahiti green is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn in California, the unique conch profile works as lumbar support on deep-seat sectionals or as a color accent against neutral outdoor seating.

Will the Fabric Fade or Mildew in Full-Sun Exposure?

The polyester construction resists UV degradation, so the vibrant green holds its saturation through summer sun. Synthetic polyester doesn't absorb moisture the way cotton or linen does, which means water beads off rather than soaking in and creating the damp environment where mildew colonizes. The water-resistant treatment lets the pillow dry quickly after a thunderstorm, further cutting down on mold risk. This is a real outdoor fabric -- not an indoor throw pressed into service on a porch.

How Do You Clean It and Store It Over Winter?

The hidden zipper lets you pull off the cover and spot-clean it with mild soap and water, then air-dry it fully before you zip it back on. While the material resists weather, bringing the pillow indoors or into a deck box during the off-season extends its lifespan -- polyester won't rot if left out, but any outdoor fabric lasts longer when you protect it from months of freeze-thaw cycles. Don't machine-wash the insert.

Where Does a Conch-Shaped Accent Work Best?

The 22 x 6 x 22-inch profile tucks behind your lower back on deep outdoor sectionals or provides a pop of color layered with neutral cushions on outdoor accent chairs. Pair it with weather-resistant wicker or powder-coated aluminum frames on a covered patio, or use it on a porch swing where the conch shape adds visual interest without overwhelming smaller furniture. Browse coordinating fade-resistant patterns in the outdoor pillows collection, or finish the space with pieces from outdoor accessories and outdoor wall art that handle the same weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The polyester resists UV and water, but storing it in a deck box or indoors during winter protects it from months of freeze-thaw stress and extends its life.

Will rain ruin the pillow if I forget to bring it inside?

The water-resistant construction repels rain and dries quickly, though you should avoid leaving it soaked for days at a time -- tip it on its side after a storm so water runs off.

Is polyester better than cotton for outdoor use?

Yes -- polyester doesn't absorb moisture or rot, and it resists UV fade far better than natural fibers like cotton or linen, which degrade quickly outdoors.

Can I use this on a coastal porch with salt air?

Polyester won't corrode the way metal zippers sometimes do in salt air, though rinsing the cover occasionally with fresh water helps prevent salt buildup on the fabric.

How do I wash the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and spot-clean it with mild soap and water, then air-dry completely before you put it back on the insert.

Does this ship fully assembled and is delivery included?

The pillow arrives ready to use, and LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA.
