Outdoor Copeland Pillow - Midnight

Details at a Glance

Sun, rain, and humidity fade standard outdoor textiles and seed mildew within a season, but solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic embeds color during fiber manufacture and holds true through years of UV exposure. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Copeland Pillow in Midnight, a 22-inch square outdoor pillow available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, is handcrafted in California from fade-resistant, water-resistant Sunbrella for year-round patio use. Its hidden-zipper cover lifts off the insert for machine washing, and the tight acrylic weave repels moisture while breathing freely to prevent trapped dampness.

How Does Sunbrella Acrylic Hold Up Through Full Sun and Rain?

Sunbrella is a performance textile engineered specifically for outdoor environments where UV and moisture destroy cotton or polyester in months. The acrylic fiber is solution-dyed, meaning pigment saturates the polymer before it's spun into yarn -- color doesn't sit on the surface to bleach away. That construction delivers colorfastness through years of direct sun exposure. The fabric is also water-resistant: it repels rain and splashes without soaking through to the insert, so you won't see mildew stains or odor after a downpour. Sunbrella breathes, which lets trapped air escape instead of condensing inside the pillow. You're buying a textile that was built for this exact set of conditions.

Can This Pillow Stay Outside All Year, or Should You Bring It In for Winter?

This pillow is weather-resistant, not weatherproof -- it handles rain and UV all season without damage, but leaving any textile outdoors through winter shortens its life. If your patio is covered and well-drained, the pillow can live there year-round in temperate climates. If you face heavy snow, ice, or months of continuous wet weather, store it indoors or in a sealed bin. The removable cover makes end-of-season storage simple: unzip it, machine wash the cover in cold water with mild detergent, air-dry completely, and pack both pieces in a dry space. You'll add years to the pillow's performance, and it'll look fresh when you pull it out in spring.

Where Does a 22-Inch Square Pillow Work Best on a Patio?

A 22-inch square is generous enough to anchor the back of a deep sectional or oversized lounge chair without disappearing against wide cushions. Layer it with smaller outdoor pillows in coordinating Sunbrella tones for depth, or pair it on outdoor accent chairs flanking a coffee table. The black Midnight colorway grounds brighter hues and complements natural teak or powder-coated metal frames. If you move furniture seasonally between a covered porch and full-sun deck, this fade-resistant pillow transitions with you -- UV won't bleach it, and the water-resistant shell protects the insert during surprise showers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade if I leave it in direct sun all summer?

No -- Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed and UV-resistant, so the black Midnight color holds true through years of full-sun exposure without bleaching or graying.

Can the pillow get rained on, or does it need a cover?

It's water-resistant and designed to handle rain without mildewing or soaking through. Storing it during extended wet periods or winter prolongs life, but occasional showers won't harm it.

Is this suitable for a coastal patio with salt air?

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic resists moisture and doesn't corrode or rust, so salt air won't damage the fabric. Rinse the cover periodically if you're right on the water to prevent salt buildup.

How do I clean the cover?

Remove the cover via the hidden zipper, machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, and air-dry completely before reinstalling it on the insert.

Do I need to bring this inside every night?

No -- you can leave it on your furniture overnight and through the season. Just store it indoors or in a bin when you're not using the patio for months at a time.

Does this ship fully assembled, and is delivery free?

It arrives complete and ready to place on your furniture. LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order.
