Outdoor Kraken Pillow - Charcoal

Details at a Glance

Outdoor pillows live hard -- full sun bleaches color, rain invites mildew, and humidity breaks down fill until you're buying replacements every spring. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Kraken Pillow in Charcoal uses UV-resistant poly fabric and water-resistant construction to hold up season after season on patios and porch swings. This 22-inch square outdoor pillow is handcrafted in California and available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will UV-Resistant Poly Fabric Actually Stop Fading?

Yes -- the 100% polyester construction here is treated to resist color degradation even in direct sun. UV stabilization works by blocking the wavelengths that break down dye molecules, so this charcoal stays charcoal instead of going gray by July. You'll see gradual softening over years of full exposure because all outdoor textiles age, but the engineering slows that breakdown dramatically compared to untreated cotton or cheap poly. The water-resistant treatment repels rain and humidity to prevent mold, mildew, and the kind of staining that ruins a pillow in one wet week.

Do You Bring It Inside When It Rains?

Light to moderate rain is fine -- the water-resistant fabric sheds moisture instead of soaking it up. For heavy storms or multi-day wet stretches, bring it under cover or indoors so the insert doesn't stay damp. The hidden zipper lets you pull the cover off for cleaning if it does get caught in a downpour; hand wash or spot clean with mild soap, air dry completely, then zip it back on. Off-season, store it in a dry garage or shed so the fill keeps its loft.

Where Does a 22-Inch Charcoal Pillow Work Best?

This size is right for outdoor sofas, sectionals, lounge chairs, and porch swings -- big enough to support your back or give a seat actual comfort. Charcoal works as a neutral anchor when you layer it with lighter tones or bold accent colors from our outdoor pillows collection. It also pairs well with the clean lines of pieces in our outdoor accent chairs and outdoor accessories ranges. If you've got a covered outdoor dining area or a screened porch, this doubles as lumbar support on dining chairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle spring through fall on a covered patio, but bring it indoors or into storage during winter freeze-thaw cycles and extended wet periods to maximize lifespan.

Will the charcoal fade in direct sun?

The UV-resistant poly fabric is engineered to resist fading, though all outdoor textiles experience gradual color softening over years of full sun exposure.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the water-resistant construction handles light to moderate rain, but store it during heavy storms to prevent the insert from staying damp.

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

The poly fabric resists moisture and won't corrode, so it works in coastal humidity, but rinse off salt spray occasionally and store it during hurricanes.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden zipper, remove the cover, and hand wash or spot clean with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before putting it back on.

Does this come with free shipping?

Yes, LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA on all orders.
