Outdoor Esti Pillow - Bluestone

Details at a Glance

Sunbrella acrylic fabric locks color deep into every fiber so this pillow won't bleach out after a summer of full sun, and the water-repellent surface sheds rain to prevent mildew buildup through humid months. The Outdoor Esti Pillow in Bluestone -- a 22x22-inch square pillow handcrafted in California and available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping -- delivers fade-resistant performance and vibrant multicolor style for covered patios, open decks, and poolside loungers.

How Does Sunbrella Acrylic Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed, meaning pigment is added during fiber production rather than applied to the surface afterward. That process embeds color throughout the material so UV rays can't strip it away the way they do with standard outdoor fabrics. The same fibers repel water on contact, allowing moisture to bead up and roll off instead of soaking through to the insert, which inhibits mold and mildew growth even in coastal humidity. You'll see far less fading over multiple seasons compared to untreated fabrics, though years of uninterrupted full-sun exposure will eventually cause some gradual color shift.

Can This Pillow Get Rained On?

Yes -- the Sunbrella construction sheds rain without absorbing it, so a sudden shower won't leave the pillow waterlogged. Water resistance doesn't mean the pillow should sit in standing water or stay drenched for days, but it handles passing storms without issue. Storing it under a covered porch or in a deck box when you're not using the space extends its lifespan by limiting prolonged moisture exposure and keeping the insert dry.

Where Should You Use a 22x22-Inch Outdoor Pillow?

A square pillow this size provides full back support on deep-seated outdoor sofas, lounge chairs, and porch swings. Layer it with other patterns from the outdoor pillows collection to build a curated look, or pair it with pieces from the outdoor accent chairs line for a cohesive seating arrangement. The multicolor Bluestone palette ties together furnishings in both covered and open-air zones, and the hidden-zipper design keeps clean lines intact when you're mixing it with outdoor accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the color fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic resists UV fade far better than untreated outdoor fabrics, maintaining vibrancy through multiple seasons of full-sun exposure.

Can I leave this outside all year?

The fabric withstands rain and sun, but storing the pillow under cover or indoors during winter protects the insert and prolongs its overall life.

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

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic and the water-resistant finish handle salt air and humidity without corroding or growing mildew as quickly as standard fabrics.

How do I clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.

What comes with the pillow?

You receive both the Sunbrella cover and a removable insert, handcrafted to order in California.

Does it ship fully assembled?

Yes -- the pillow arrives ready to place on your seating; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
