Outdoor Etta Pillow - Black

Details at a Glance

This pillow uses solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic that locks color into the yarn before weaving, so it resists UV fade and handles rain without bleeding or streaking. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Etta Pillow in black, 22 x 22 inches, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Each piece is handcrafted in California with a hidden zipper and removable cover for easy care.

How Well Does Sunbrella Acrylic Handle Full-Sun Exposure and Rain?

Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed, meaning the black pigment runs through the entire fiber instead of sitting on the surface -- it won't fade even after seasons in direct sun. The fabric is water-resistant and dries quickly after rain, and it resists mildew when moisture does linger. You're not working with standard outdoor fabric that turns gray by July; this material is engineered to hold its color and structure through UV bombardment and wet-dry cycles.

Can You Leave This Pillow Outside All Year?

You can leave it out through spring, summer, and fall without worry -- the Sunbrella cover handles rain and sun exposure just fine. For winter, especially if you're in a climate with prolonged wet periods or snow, bringing it inside or storing it in a deck box extends its lifespan by preventing the insert from staying saturated for weeks. The removable cover makes off-season storage simple: pull the cover, wash it if needed, and tuck both pieces away until spring.

Where Does a Black 22x22 Pillow Work Best on a Patio?

Black anchors bright patterns and neutral cushions, so this pillow works as a contrast piece on outdoor accent chairs or layered into a sofa setup with other outdoor pillows. The 22-inch square format fits most deep-seat lounge furniture and porch swings. When you bring furniture inside for the season, this pillow transitions to indoor use without looking out of place -- pair it with outdoor accessories or use it to tie together a covered porch styled with weather-resistant outdoor wall art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the black color fade in direct sun?

No -- the Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed, so the black pigment is locked into the fiber before weaving and resists UV fade through full-sun exposure.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the Sunbrella fabric is water-resistant and dries quickly, though storing it during prolonged wet periods prevents the insert from staying damp for extended stretches.

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

Yes, Sunbrella acrylic resists mildew and handles moisture well, making it a solid choice for coastal patios where salt air and humidity are constant.

How do you clean the cover?

Remove the cover via the hidden zipper and spot-clean with mild soap and water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle following the fabric care instructions.

Does the pillow arrive assembled?

Yes, the cover and insert ship together ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included; if you need in-room placement or packaging removal, those are optional paid services available upon request.

What's the advantage of a removable cover?

You can pull the cover for cleaning without replacing the whole pillow, and you can swap the insert if it compresses over time -- it extends the product's useful life significantly.
