100% polyester fabric blocks UV rays and sheds water faster than cotton or linen, so this pillow holds its ocean-blue color through summer sun and sudden rainstorms. The D.V. Kap Island Song Pillow in Ocean, a 22-inch square outdoor throw pillow handcrafted in California, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. A hidden zipper keeps the cover sleek while you pull it off for washing.
How Does Polyester Fabric Stand Up to Rain and Sun?
Polyester resists UV degradation and won't wick moisture like natural fibers, so this pillow dries quickly after rain and doesn't rot or mildew in humidity. The tight weave repels water instead of absorbing it, which means you'll find it dry by morning if you leave it on a chair overnight after a shower. Color stays vibrant because synthetic dyes bond to polyester fibers at a molecular level and don't oxidize as fast under direct sunlight.
Do You Need to Bring It Inside Every Night?
You don't have to, but storing it during long rainy stretches or winter months keeps the color sharper for more seasons. If you leave it out full-time, expect gradual fading over a few years -- all outdoor fabric shows some wear from constant UV exposure. Pull the cover off through the hidden zipper and machine wash cold on gentle, then air dry; spot-clean the insert or replace it if it compresses.
Where Does This Pillow Work Best on a Deck or Patio?
The 22-inch square format fits sectional-sofa backs, Adirondack chairs, and hanging porch swings without looking oversized. Layer two or three Ocean pillows with solid neutrals from the outdoor pillows collection to add depth to seating in covered patios, or pair with a lumbar style on outdoor accent chairs for poolside lounges. The vibrant blue complements natural teak and wicker, and you'll find coordinating pieces in the outdoor accessories range if you want to tie the look across your whole yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this pillow fade in full sun?
- Fade-resistant polyester minimizes color loss from UV exposure, though all outdoor textiles show gradual fading over years of direct sunlight. Storing it during the off-season prolongs vibrancy.
- Can this stay outside if it rains?
- Yes, the water-repellent construction sheds moisture and dries quickly. Bringing it in during extended storms or winter keeps the fabric looking newer longer.
- How do you clean the cover?
- Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and machine wash cold on gentle cycle, then air dry. Spot-clean the insert or replace it if needed.
- Is this suitable for a coastal patio with salt air?
- Polyester doesn't corrode or degrade from salt exposure the way metal hardware does, so it's a good choice near the ocean. Rinse it occasionally to prevent salt buildup on the fabric surface.
- What size is this pillow?
- 22 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 6 inches high -- a standard square throw-pillow size that fits most outdoor seating.
- Does it ship fully assembled?
- Yes, the pillow arrives ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included; no assembly required.
