Outdoor Gowan Pillow - Uniform

Details at a Glance

Full-sun patios and poolside furniture demand fabric that won't fade after one season or hold moisture long enough to mildew. This 22-inch square throw pillow uses 100% UV-treated polyester to resist both. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Gowan Pillow in Uniform, a fade-resistant outdoor throw pillow available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, is handcrafted in California and ships with a plush 4-pound insert so it's ready the day it arrives.

How Well Does UV-Treated Polyester Hold Up to Rain and Direct Sun?

UV-treated polyester is engineered to resist the two forces that ruin most outdoor textiles: ultraviolet radiation and moisture. The treatment locks color into the fiber before weaving, so sun exposure causes minimal shift season after season. Water-resistant by nature, the fabric sheds rain and pool splashes quickly, drying fast enough to prevent the damp conditions mildew needs to grow. You'll see gradual color change over years of unprotected exposure -- all outdoor fabrics do -- but UV poly delays that fade far longer than untreated cotton or blends.

Do You Have to Bring This Pillow Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out through light rain and overnight dew without worry, but storing outdoor pillows during extended storms and winter months prolongs fabric life and keeps the insert from staying damp in freezing weather. The removable cover unzips for easy cleaning or storage; pull the insert, toss the cover in a bin, and you're protected. If your patio is covered and stays dry, the pillow can live outside year-round -- just bring it in before heavy snow or week-long downpours.

Where Does a 22x22 Black Pillow Work Best on Outdoor Furniture?

A square pillow this size gives real back support on deep-seat outdoor accent chairs, sectionals, and porch swings. The uniform black finish anchors neutral schemes -- pair it with lighter wicker or teak frames to create contrast -- and grounds colorful palettes when you layer it with patterned or textured pillows. It complements concrete planters, black metal lanterns, and stone fireplace surrounds, making it a natural fit for modern or industrial patios. Stack multiple squares across a sectional or combine the 22-inch size with smaller lumbar pillows for variety in your outdoor accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade in direct sun?

UV-treated polyester minimizes fading far better than untreated fabrics, though all outdoor textiles experience gradual color shift after years of full-sun exposure.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the water-resistant polyester sheds rain and dries quickly, though storing it during extended storms prolongs fabric life.

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

UV-treated polyester resists moisture and won't rust, making it appropriate for coastal patios; rinse the cover occasionally to prevent salt buildup.

How do I clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the insert, and spot-clean the cover with mild soap and water.

Does the pillow arrive with an insert, or do I need to buy one separately?

The Outdoor Gowan Pillow includes a 4-pound plush insert and arrives ready to use on your patio furniture.

What makes a pillow weather resistant instead of just waterproof?

Weather resistance combines UV-treated fibers that hold color, water-repellent fabric that dries fast, and construction that resists mildew when exposed to sun, rain, and humidity over time.
