Outdoor Deerskin Pillow - Flannel

Details at a Glance

Polypropylene fibers repel moisture and resist UV degradation, making this pillow engineered to handle daily exposure to rain and sun without soaking through or fading rapidly. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Deerskin Pillow in Flannel is a 22-inch square throw pillow handcrafted in California from fade- and water-resistant polypropylene, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 4 pounds and 22 by 22 inches, it fills space on sectionals, loveseats, and porch swings with substantial back support.

How Well Does Polypropylene Hold Up to Rain and Full Sun?

100% polypropylene construction resists UV degradation that causes most fabrics to bleach and weaken, so the grey Flannel colorway stays truer over multiple seasons of direct sun exposure. The synthetic fibers are also moisture-repellent -- water beads and rolls off rather than soaking into the fill, which prevents mildew growth and allows the pillow to dry quickly after a storm. You'll still see some gradual fading over several years in full sun, but polypropylene slows that process far more than cotton or linen ever could. The hidden zipper and removable cover let you spot clean as needed, extending the pillow's usable life on the patio.

Do You Have to Bring This Inside for Winter?

You can leave it outside through light frost and occasional winter rain, but prolonged exposure to standing water or heavy snow will eventually stress even water-resistant fabrics. The best practice is to store pillows indoors during the wettest months or when furniture is covered for the season. Remove the cover via the hidden zipper, spot clean with mild soap and water if needed, and air dry completely before storing flat in a cool, dry place. That routine keeps the polypropylene fibers intact and the grey tone looking fresh when you bring everything back out in spring.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Layer this 22-inch pillow with smaller accent pillows on deep-seat outdoor accent chairs or sectionals to create visual depth and lumbar support. The neutral grey Flannel colorway anchors arrangements in outdoor pillows with bolder colors or patterns, and the substantial square size fills corner seats or wider benches without looking undersized. Pair it with weather-resistant throws or coordinating outdoor accessories to tie together seating zones on a covered porch or open deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

It can handle spring through fall outdoors, but storing it indoors during heavy winter rain or snow extends its life and keeps the fabric looking newer longer.

Will the grey Flannel color fade in direct sun?

Fade-resistant polypropylene minimizes color loss, though pillows in full sun will show some gradual fading after multiple seasons of exposure.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes, synthetic polypropylene resists salt air corrosion that can weaken natural fibers, making it a good choice for seaside patios.

Can the pillow get rained on?

Water-resistant polypropylene repels moisture and dries quickly, though you should still avoid leaving it in standing water for days at a time.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and spot clean with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reassembling.

Does this come assembled, and is delivery free?

It arrives fully assembled and ready to use, and free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
