Outdoor Gilner Pillow - Azure

Details at a Glance

Outdoor pillows left on furniture through summer storms and afternoon sun need materials engineered to resist UV fade and shed water without losing their shape or color. The tri-component poly blend in this pillow -- 75.14% UV Poly, 22.82% SeaQPolUV, and 2.04% recycled PcrPoly -- stabilizes color against constant sun exposure and dries quickly after rain. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Gilner Pillow in Azure, a 22x22-inch weather-resistant outdoor pillow with hidden zipper and removable cover, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Well Does This UV-Resistant Poly Blend Hold Up in Full Sun?

The three-fiber construction resists fading season after season, each component UV-stabilized to protect the azure and grey tones from bleaching under direct sunlight. Water-resistant engineering means rain beads off the surface rather than saturating the insert, preventing mildew growth and maintaining loft through humidity. The hidden zipper closure keeps moisture from seeping into the pillow core during storms, so you're not wringing out a waterlogged cushion after every shower. Prolonged exposure over multiple years will cause gradual color shift -- no outdoor fabric is fade-proof forever -- but this pillow holds its vibrancy far longer than untreated cotton or standard polyester.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can store this pillow outdoors in a covered area -- under a roof or inside a deck box -- but bringing it indoors or into a garage during the off-season extends its lifespan. The removable cover and insert separate via the hidden zipper, so you can spot-clean the cover with mild soap and water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle if needed, then air dry before reassembly. If you leave pillows outside uncovered through heavy snow or ice, moisture can eventually work past the zipper and compromise the insert, so seasonal rotation is the smarter play.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 22x22-inch square format fits most outdoor sofas, lounge chairs, and sectionals without overwhelming smaller frames or looking lost on deep-seat designs. Layer this azure pillow with other pieces from the outdoor pillows collection to build contrast, or pair it with neutral cushions on outdoor accent chairs for a cohesive color story. It also works on porch swings and benches where you want a pop of blue against natural teak or wicker, and the handcrafted California construction means each one is cut and sewn to order rather than mass-produced overseas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

It's designed to shed rain and resist sun, but storing it in a covered area or indoors during winter prevents ice and heavy snow from saturating the insert and extends the pillow's lifespan.

Will the azure color fade in direct sun?

The UV-resistant poly blend minimizes fading, though prolonged exposure over multiple years will cause gradual color shift in any outdoor fabric.

How do I store it over winter?

Remove the cover via the hidden zipper, spot-clean or machine wash on gentle if needed, air dry, then store both cover and insert in a dry indoor space or sealed deck box.

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

Yes -- the synthetic poly blend resists salt air better than natural fibers, and the water-resistant construction prevents moisture retention that accelerates mildew in humid coastal climates.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- this pillow is designed to shed rain, though storing it under cover during heavy storms will prolong its condition.

Does this ship free, and is assembly required?

LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA; the pillow arrives fully finished with cover and insert -- no assembly required.
