Outdoor Elmaple Pillow - Terracotta

Details at a Glance

UV-rated polyester sheds rain, resists mildew, and holds its terracotta hue through full-sun exposure season after season. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Elmaple Pillow in Terracotta -- a 22-inch square fade-resistant outdoor pillow -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Each piece is hand-cut and sewn in California, delivering made-to-order craftsmanship that keeps color and structure intact across uncovered patios, porch swings, and poolside seating.

How Well Does UV-Rated Polyester Handle Rain and Sun?

100% UV-rated polyester resists color loss in direct sunlight far longer than untreated textiles, maintaining the warm brown tone through years of full-sun exposure. Water-resistant construction sheds light rain quickly, preventing the moisture buildup that leads to mildew in humid climates. The hidden zipper and removable insert let you clean or replace the cover without discarding the entire pillow, extending the piece's lifespan and reducing long-term replacement costs. Because the fabric is engineered for prolonged outdoor use, it retains structural integrity where standard indoor pillows would fade and sag within a single season.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't, but storing fade-resistant outdoor pillows under cover during extended wet periods -- or in a weatherproof deck box -- protects the fabric from freeze-thaw cycles and prolongs color vibrancy. Spot clean the removable cover with mild soap and water, air dry completely, then store in a dry location until spring. If you leave the pillow out year-round, inspect the zipper and seams every few months to catch wear before it worsens.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Layer this terracotta square with neutral-toned cushions from our outdoor pillows collection on a sectional, or pair it with patterned throw pillows on outdoor accent chairs to create cohesion across dining and lounge zones. The warm brown hue complements natural wood frames and powder-coated metal equally well, anchoring seating arrangements in both covered and uncovered spaces. Add coordinating pieces from our outdoor accessories collection to tie the color palette together, or introduce contrast with weatherproof art from our outdoor wall art selection.
