Outdoor Kataran Pillow

Details at a Glance

Treated polyester fibers shed rain and resist UV degradation, so this pillow holds its deep black color season after season even when left on exposed furniture. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Kataran Pillow, a 22-inch square weather-resistant outdoor pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn in California, it pairs water-resistant construction with a hidden zipper that lets you remove the cover for quick drying or off-season storage.

How Does 100% Polyester Handle Full Sun and Humidity?

Polyester's synthetic structure resists moisture absorption, so the fabric sheds rain and dries faster than cotton or linen blends. The fibers are treated to block UV rays that cause color loss, which is why this pillow maintains its black tone through summers of direct sun exposure. It won't stop mildew if stored wet, but the water-resistant finish and breathable weave prevent moisture from soaking into the fill when rain hits your patio unexpectedly.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside Every Time It Rains?

No -- the water-resistant treatment lets the pillow handle sudden showers without damage. That said, storing it under a covered porch or bringing it indoors during heavy storms extends its lifespan by limiting constant wet-dry cycles that stress any outdoor fabric. The removable cover unzips easily if you want to pull the insert and let both pieces air-dry separately after a downpour.

Where Does a 22-Inch Square Pillow Work Best Outside?

The generous size provides real back support on deep-seated sectionals, porch swings, and lounge chairs where smaller cushions feel inadequate. Layer it with contrasting textures from our outdoor pillows collection to add visual depth, or pair it with lumbar shapes on dining benches and outdoor accent chairs. The solid black face anchors patterned cushions without competing for attention, and the California-crafted construction holds up to daily use better than mass-produced alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

It can handle rain and sun, but any outdoor fabric lasts longer when stored under cover during winter or brought inside during freeze-thaw cycles and prolonged wet weather.

Will the black color fade in direct sun?

The polyester is treated to resist UV degradation, so it maintains color far longer than untreated fabrics, though all textiles show some wear after years of intense sunlight exposure.

How do you clean the cover when it gets dirty?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and spot clean it with mild soap and water, then air-dry completely before reassembling.

Is polyester better than Sunbrella for outdoor pillows?

Both are high-performance synthetics that resist fading and moisture; polyester typically costs less while Sunbrella carries a longer warranty, but this treated polyester delivers comparable weather protection for most patio applications.

Does the pillow work in a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- polyester doesn't corrode like metal hardware can, and the water-resistant finish handles the humidity common near oceans, though rinsing salt spray off occasionally prevents fabric stiffness.

How does shipping work, and is assembly required?

This pillow ships free via curbside delivery to the continental USA with no assembly needed; it arrives ready to place on your furniture.
