Outdoor Kittery Pillow - Ebony

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed synthetic fibers resist fade and mildew even when a pillow stays out through weeks of direct sun and summer rain. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Kittery Pillow in Ebony -- a 22-inch square outdoor pillow handcrafted in California -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its UV-stabilized poly and olefin blend sheds water and holds color across multiple seasons on full-sun patios and coastal porches.

How Well Do UV-Stabilized Poly and Olefin Hold Up Outdoors?

They resist fading far better than indoor cotton or linen because the pigment is locked into the fiber during manufacturing, not applied afterward. This pillow's 80-percent poly and 20-percent olefin construction blocks UV damage, so ebony black stays deep even under continuous sunlight. The same fibers repel moisture and resist mildew, which means the pillow dries quickly after rain and won't develop the musty smell or discoloration that untreated fabrics show within one season.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside After Every Rain?

No -- the water-resistant fabric and quick-dry insert shed light rain without damage. If the pillow gets fully soaked during a heavy storm, pull the cover off and let both pieces air out so moisture doesn't sit trapped inside. Spot-clean spills with mild soap and water, or unzip the hidden closure and machine-wash the cover on a gentle cycle when it needs a deeper refresh. The reinforced seams and 4-pound weight mean the pillow holds its shape even after repeated cleaning.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

Place it on deep-seating sofas, rocking chairs, or porch swings where you need a pillow that can handle full-sun exposure without fading to gray by August. Layer several across outdoor accent chairs or pair with other outdoor pillows in contrasting textures to build a cohesive lounging zone. The 22-inch square size works equally well as a back cushion on dining benches or as an accent on commercial-grade furniture in hospitality settings, and it pairs naturally with outdoor accessories and weather-resistant outdoor wall art when you're finishing a full outdoor room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The UV-stabilized fabric resists sun and moisture damage, but it's best to store the pillow indoors or in a weatherproof bin during winter if you're in a freeze-thaw climate -- prolonged exposure to ice and snow can stress the seams and insert over time.

Will the ebony color fade in direct sun?

The solution-dyed poly and olefin fibers resist fading far longer than standard fabrics, though all outdoor textiles show some color shift after years of continuous sun exposure.

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

Yes -- the synthetic fibers resist mildew and corrosion from salt air, and the quick-dry construction prevents the dampness that accelerates fabric breakdown in humid or seaside environments.

How do you clean this outdoor pillow?

Spot-clean with mild soap and water, or remove the zippered cover and machine-wash it on a gentle cycle when needed.

Does the pillow come fully assembled?

Yes -- the insert is already inside the cover, and the hidden zipper is closed; free curbside delivery brings it ready to place on your furniture.

What makes this pillow weather resistant?

UV-stabilized synthetic fibers resist sun fade and water damage, the quick-dry insert sheds moisture, and the hidden zipper keeps rain from seeping into the fill.
