Outdoor Elmaple Pillow - Azure

Details at a Glance

UV-resistant polyester fabric, water-resistant construction, and a hidden zipper mean this pillow holds its color and shape through sun, rain, and humidity without the constant shuffling indoors that standard throw pillows demand. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Elmaple Pillow in Azure, a 22-inch square outdoor throw pillow handcrafted in California, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn to order in California, it pairs a crisp azure blue with the durability coastal and full-sun patios require.

Will the Fabric Fade in Direct Sun?

No -- the 100% UV-resistant polyester is solution-dyed, so the azure tone is locked into the fiber rather than applied as a surface coating that sun can strip away. Even in full-day exposure on a south-facing deck or poolside lounge, the color holds season after season. Water-resistant construction repels rain and pool splash, and the fabric dries quickly enough that mildew doesn't take hold between storms.

How Do You Clean It and Store It Over Winter?

Unzip the hidden closure, pull the cover off, and run it through the machine on a gentle cycle; spot-clean the insert as needed. The separate insert design means you're not wrestling a waterlogged pillow into the washer. You can leave the Elmaple outside year-round in mild climates, though covering or bringing pillows in during extended freezing rain extends their life -- UV resistance doesn't make polyester immune to ice damage.

Where Does a 22-Inch Azure Pillow Work Best?

Layer two or three on an outdoor sectional or lounge chair, or pair the azure square with neutral tones from the outdoor pillow collection to anchor a coastal palette. Use it as a foundation pillow and add a contrasting lumbar for visual interest, then repeat the arrangement on porch swings or poolside furniture for a cohesive look. The 22-inch profile fits standard deep-seat frames without overwhelming smaller accent chairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

Yes, the UV-resistant polyester and water-resistant construction allow it to remain outdoors year-round in mild climates, though covering or storing it during winter storms prolongs its life.

Will rain ruin the pillow or cause mildew?

No -- the water-resistant fabric repels rain and dries quickly, preventing mildew growth between storms.

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

Yes, the synthetic polyester resists the UV intensity and moisture common in coastal environments, and there are no metal components to corrode.

How is the cover removed for washing?

A hidden zipper along one seam lets you pull the cover off and machine wash it on a gentle cycle; the insert stays separate.

What makes this pillow weather resistant instead of just water resistant?

Weather resistance combines UV-stabilized fabric that won't fade, water repellency that prevents saturation, and mildew-inhibiting synthetic fibers -- all three working together so the pillow survives sun, rain, and humidity outdoors.

Does it ship fully assembled or require setup?

It arrives complete with the cover on the insert; free curbside delivery to the continental USA, no assembly required.
