Outdoor throw pillows made from standard cotton or linen lose their color and shape after one summer on the patio -- rain soaks through the fabric, UV rays bleach the dye, and humidity breeds mildew inside the insert. The D.V. Kap Gowan outdoor pillow in vanilla white, a 22 x 22 inch weather-resistant throw pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in California from UV-treated polyester, it repels water, resists fading under full sun, and features a removable cover with a hidden zipper for easy cleaning and seasonal storage.

How Well Does UV-Resistant Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

This pillow is constructed from 100% UV-treated polyester, a synthetic fabric engineered to maintain color integrity and structural stability under prolonged sun exposure. UV-resistant polyester blocks the wavelengths that degrade dye molecules, so the vanilla white tone stays true season after season without yellowing or fading. The water-repellent finish sheds rain and pool splash, preventing moisture from penetrating the insert and eliminating the mildew growth that ruins untreated fabrics. That same polyester construction resists salt air and humidity, making this pillow suitable for coastal patios, poolside lounges, and covered porches where standard indoor throw pillows fail in weeks.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You'll extend the pillow's lifespan by storing it indoors during heavy winter storms or long stretches of freezing rain, but the UV-resistant polyester and water-repellent finish let it handle typical outdoor conditions without immediate damage. The removable cover unzips for off-season washing or replacement, and you can store just the insert in a sealed bin if you want to swap covers. If you leave it out on a covered porch or under a deep overhang where it's shielded from direct downpours, occasional light rain and morning dew won't compromise the fabric.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 22 x 22 inch square format fits standard outdoor accent chairs, sectionals, and chaise lounges, and the neutral vanilla colorway coordinates with coastal, modern farmhouse, and minimalist schemes. Layer it with texture-rich pieces from our outdoor pillows collection for depth, or pair it with weather-resistant outdoor wall art to tie the whole space together. It also works in a sunroom or three-season porch where UV exposure is high but the space stays mostly dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade if it sits in full sun all day?

No -- the UV-treated polyester blocks the wavelengths that degrade dye, so the vanilla white tone resists fading even under direct sun exposure all season.

Can this pillow get rained on without ruining the insert?

Yes, the water-repellent polyester sheds rain and pool splash, though storing it during heavy storms or winter extends its lifespan.

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

Yes, the UV-resistant polyester and water-repellent finish resist salt air and humidity without breaking down or developing mildew.

Does the cover come off for washing?

Yes, a hidden zipper lets you remove the cover for cleaning or seasonal storage; each pillow is hand cut and sewn to order in California.

Does this include the insert, and is shipping free?

Yes, the pillow ships with a removable insert, and LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order.

How do I store this over winter?

Unzip the cover, wash it if needed, and store both the cover and insert in a sealed bin in a dry indoor space; the polyester dries quickly and resists mold during storage.
