Outdoor Katoo Lumbar Pillow - Charcoal

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic resists fade and moisture far better than printed outdoor fabrics, making this pillow a reliable choice for full-sun patios or covered porches that still see rain. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Katoo Lumbar Pillow in charcoal, measuring 24 in. W x 12 in. H x 6 in. D, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Each piece is hand-cut and sewn to order in California, and the removable cover unzips for machine washing when you need it.

How Does Solution-Dyed Sunbrella Hold Up in Full Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed acrylic is colored before the fiber is woven, so UV rays can't strip pigment from the surface the way they do with printed or dyed-after-weaving fabrics. That gives this pillow fade resistance roughly five times stronger than standard outdoor textiles, and the tight acrylic weave repels water instead of absorbing it. Rain beads off and the pillow dries quickly, which prevents mildew from taking hold in the fill. The charcoal tone won't bleach to gray after a summer of afternoon sun.

Should You Bring It Inside When It Rains?

The water-resistant construction tolerates a sudden shower without damage, but you'll extend the life of both the cover and the insert if you store the pillow in a deck box or under a covered patio when you're not using it. Sunbrella can handle moisture, but no outdoor fabric benefits from sitting wet for days at a time. The hidden zipper makes it easy to pull the cover off and toss it in the washing machine if it picks up pollen or dirt, and the insert dries fast on its own.

Where Does a 24-Inch Lumbar Pillow Work Best?

Position this pillow horizontally across the lower back on deep outdoor sofas, sectionals, or lounge chairs -- it's sized for seat depths of 28 inches or more. The charcoal colorway pairs naturally with outdoor pillows in coastal blues or bold patterns and complements the powder-coated aluminum or teak frames common in our outdoor accent chairs. Use two for symmetrical support on a three-seat sofa, or layer one with decorative throw pillows from our outdoor accessories to build depth on a covered porch.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic resists UV fade far better than printed fabrics and holds its color for years, though no outdoor textile is completely immune to long-term sun exposure in unshaded locations.

Can this pillow get rained on without damage?

Yes -- the water-resistant acrylic repels rain and dries quickly. Storing it in a covered area when not in use keeps the insert drier and extends the pillow's lifespan.

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

Sunbrella acrylic resists mildew and moisture, making it a reliable choice for humid or coastal climates where salt air accelerates fabric breakdown in lesser materials.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and machine wash it. The insert stays dry and maintains its shape while the cover is being cleaned.

What size sofa does a 24-inch lumbar pillow fit?

A 24-inch lumbar pillow suits sofas with seat depths of 28 inches or greater. Pair two for balanced support on sectionals or longer outdoor sofas.
