Outdoor Katoo Pillow - Dune

Details at a Glance

Pillows left outside lose color and shape fast without fabric engineered to handle UV and rain. Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic locks color into the fiber before weaving, so this 22-inch square resists fading even in full sun and sheds moisture to prevent mold. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Katoo Pillow in Dune, a 22-inch square weather-resistant outdoor pillow in grey, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in California with a hidden zipper and removable cover, it delivers plush support and lasting color for patios, porches, and poolside seating.

Why Does Solution-Dyed Sunbrella Acrylic Hold Up Better Than Standard Outdoor Fabric?

Standard outdoor fabrics print or dye color onto the surface, so UV exposure strips pigment within a season or two. Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed -- color is part of the fiber itself before the fabric is woven -- so there's no surface coating to fade. The result is fade resistance that lasts years in full sun, not months. The acrylic also sheds water quickly, preventing moisture from penetrating the fill and creating the damp conditions mold and mildew need to grow. This construction is why Sunbrella is specified for high-traffic hospitality environments and coastal installations where salt air accelerates fabric breakdown.

Can This Pillow Stay Outside All Year?

Sunbrella acrylic is built to handle year-round exposure, but bringing any outdoor cushion under cover during heavy rain or snow extends its lifespan. The fabric itself resists UV damage and sheds rain, so occasional exposure won't harm it. For winter storage, unzip the hidden closure, remove the insert, and store both pieces in a dry location -- the cover can be spot-cleaned or machine-washed on gentle before you put it back out in spring. If you leave it on the furniture through shoulder seasons, expect it to dry quickly after storms and maintain its grey tone season after season.

Where Does a 22-Inch Square Pillow Work Best on a Patio?

This size provides substantial back support on deep-seat outdoor sofas and lounge chairs, and the Dune grey pairs well with natural teak or wicker frames. Layer it with other pieces from the outdoor pillows collection in contrasting textures or patterns for a curated look. You can also group multiple Sunbrella squares on benches for alfresco dining comfort or mix them into your outdoor accent chairs alongside coordinating throws and outdoor accessories. The hidden zipper keeps the hardware out of sight, so the pillow reads clean whether it's stacked on a sectional or propped against a wall.
