Outdoor Gilner Lumbar Pillow - Stone

Details at a Glance

Pillows left on patio furniture through rain and full sun need fibers that won't fade to white or grow mildew by mid-season. The Gilner lumbar pillow in stone -- a 24-inch rectangular outdoor pillow built from UV-stabilized polyester and water-resistant construction -- maintains its brown tone and shape on sectionals and lounge chairs exposed to weather. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Gilner Lumbar Pillow in Stone is handcrafted in California and available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will the Fabric Fade in Full Sun?

No -- 75.14% of this pillow's fiber blend is UV-stabilized polyester engineered to resist sun degradation. That UV-resistant poly holds the stone-brown color through season after season of direct sunlight, where standard textiles would bleach and crack. The remaining fiber content includes SeaQPolUV and recycled poly, both also treated for UV stability, so the entire pillow resists fading across its surface. All outdoor fabrics experience gradual color shift after years of continuous exposure, but UV-resistant construction delays that shift far longer than untreated materials.

Can This Stay Outside When It Rains?

Yes -- the Gilner's water-resistant construction sheds rain and dries quickly after a storm. Water-repellent fibers prevent moisture from soaking into the fill, which stops mildew growth and keeps the pillow from staying damp for days. You can leave it on your sectional during light rain without worry. That said, storing outdoor pillows under a covered porch or bringing them inside during heavy downpours or the off-season will extend their lifespan and keep the hidden-zipper closure from corroding in constant moisture.

Where Does a 24-Inch Lumbar Pillow Work Best?

The 24 x 12-inch profile fits deep-seat outdoor sofas and sectionals, where it provides lower-back support without crowding armrests or corner seats. Pair it with square throw pillows on porch swings, or layer it across outdoor accent chairs for targeted lumbar support during long dinners on a covered terrace. The stone-brown tone complements natural teak frames and wicker seating, and works as a neutral anchor when you rotate brighter accent pillows seasonally. Interior designers also specify lumbar pillows for dining chairs moved outdoors for entertaining, where the rectangular shape supports posture without overwhelming chair backs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow get moldy if left outside?

No -- the water-resistant fibers repel moisture and dry quickly, which prevents the damp conditions mold and mildew need to grow. Storing it under cover during extended wet periods adds extra protection.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes -- the removable cover has a hidden zipper, so you can pull it off for spot cleaning without visible hardware interrupting the pillow's lines.

Is this suitable for a coastal location with salt air?

Yes -- UV-resistant poly and water-resistant construction handle salt air better than untreated fabrics, though rinsing the pillow occasionally in fresh water will prevent salt buildup that can stiffen fibers over time.

Can outdoor pillows stay on furniture all year?

They can, but bringing them inside or storing them in a deck box during winter protects the fabric and zipper from freeze-thaw cycles and reduces UV exposure when the furniture isn't in use.

What makes this pillow weather resistant?

Weather-resistant pillows combine UV-stable fibers that resist sun degradation, water-repellent coatings that shed rain, and quick-dry construction that prevents moisture from soaking into the fill.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes -- the pillow arrives ready to place on your furniture. Free standard curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
