Outdoor Kelly Pillow

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed polyester locks color into the fiber before weaving, so this pillow holds up under full sun and summer storms without the bleach-out you see in surface-dyed fabrics. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Kelly Pillow, a 22-inch square fade-resistant outdoor throw pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in California, each piece is cut and sewn to order with a hidden zipper and removable insert that simplifies care and lets you swap covers as needed.

Why Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Resist Fading Better Than Standard Fabric?

Solution-dyed polyester embeds pigment into the fiber core before the fabric is woven, rather than dyeing the surface afterward. That means UV rays can't strip color the way they do with conventional outdoor textiles -- the color goes all the way through. The tight synthetic weave also repels water, so the pillow dries quickly after rain and resists mildew growth. You get seasons of performance on patios, decks, pool loungers, and porch swings, even when sun exposure is relentless.

How Do You Care for This Pillow Over Winter?

The cover unzips and pulls off for hand-washing or spot-cleaning when dirt builds up. Because the material is water-resistant, it can handle light rain and overnight moisture without issue. For off-season storage or extended wet periods, bring the pillow indoors or tuck it under a covered porch to extend its life -- solution-dyed fabric won't fade, but repeated soaking and freeze-thaw cycles will eventually stress seams and fill.

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

This size fits most outdoor seating -- deep sectionals, lounge chairs, porch swings -- and pairs well with lumbar pillows or smaller accent shapes. Layer it with other pieces from the outdoor pillows collection to build texture on outdoor accent chairs, or bring it indoors to living-room seating that opens to the deck. The grey colorway works with natural teak, powder-coated aluminum, and resin wicker, so you can mix it across furniture styles. Add finishing touches from the outdoor accessories collection to tie the look together.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Solution-dyed polyester significantly reduces fading because the pigment is locked into the fiber core, not painted on the surface. It holds color under sustained UV exposure far longer than most outdoor textiles.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the fabric is water-resistant and dries quickly after rain. For extended life, store it under cover during prolonged wet periods or bring it inside overnight.

How do you clean the cover?

The hidden zipper lets you remove the cover for hand-washing or spot-cleaning. The insert comes out separately so you can care for each part on its own schedule.

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

Yes, solution-dyed polyester resists moisture and UV damage, making it a strong choice for coastal patios where salt spray and intense sun accelerate fading and mildew on standard fabrics.

Does this pillow ship for free?

Yes, LOOMLAN Outdoor offers free curbside delivery to the continental United States with no minimum order.

What makes this pillow weather-resistant?

Weather resistance comes from water-repellent synthetic fibers, a tight weave that sheds moisture, and materials that dry quickly to prevent mold and mildew. The solution-dyed construction adds fade protection that surface-dyed alternatives can't match.
