Outdoor Lucy Pillow - Asphalt

Details at a Glance

Pillows that fade after a single season or turn stiff from rain exposure leave seating looking shabby within months. The Lucy Pillow in Asphalt, a weather-resistant outdoor throw pillow handcrafted from Sunbrella acrylic, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. D.V. Kap cuts and sews each cover to order in California, pairing solution-dyed fabric with a removeable insert and concealed zipper that simplify seasonal care.

Will Sunbrella Acrylic Actually Hold Its Color in Full Sun?

Yes -- solution-dyed acrylic weaves pigment throughout the fiber rather than coating the surface, so the black Asphalt tone resists UV fade through thousands of hours of direct exposure. Sunbrella meets commercial outdoor standards for colorfastness, making it the material restaurants and resorts stake on year after year. The fabric also repels water rather than soaking it in, so the pillow sheds rain and dries quickly instead of staying damp and breeding mildew. That combination of UV stability and moisture resistance is why Sunbrella dominates poolside, coastal, and full-sun placements where standard outdoor fabrics fail within a season or two.

Do You Need to Bring This Inside Every Time It Rains?

No -- the pillow can handle a passing shower without damage. Sunbrella acrylic repels water on contact and the insert dries quickly, so you won't come back to a soaked, heavy cushion. That said, storing it during multi-day storms or the off-season preserves loft and extends the cover's lifespan, especially in climates with freeze-thaw cycles. Unzip the cover and machine-wash it cold on a gentle cycle when it picks up pollen or dust, then air-dry flat -- the hidden zipper makes seasonal cleaning straightforward, and you can swap or refresh the insert without replacing the whole pillow.

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

The 22-inch profile fits standard outdoor lounge seating, sectionals, chaise lounges, and deep-seat patio chairs without overwhelming narrower frames. Layer the neutral Asphalt black behind lighter accent pillows from the outdoor pillows collection to create depth on outdoor accent chairs, or use matching pieces across dining seating to unify a patio and poolside zone. The solid black colorway anchors arrangements that include bolder patterns or textures, and it coordinates cleanly with stone, teak, and powder-coated metal furniture without clashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Sunbrella acrylic is engineered to resist UV fade for thousands of hours of exposure, far exceeding standard outdoor fabrics that bleach out within months.

Can this stay outside all year in a humid or coastal climate?

Yes -- the solution-dyed acrylic repels moisture and resists mildew, making it suitable for coastal humidity and poolside splash zones, though storing it over winter in freezing climates preserves loft.

How do you clean a Sunbrella outdoor pillow?

Unzip the cover, machine-wash it cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air-dry flat; spot-clean the insert with soapy water if needed.

Is the cover removeable for washing?

Yes -- a hidden zipper lets you pull the cover off the insert for machine washing or seasonal swaps.

What makes Sunbrella worth the cost compared to other outdoor fabrics?

Sunbrella resists UV degradation and water damage for years, eliminating the need to replace faded or mildewed pillows every season.

Does this ship assembled or require setup?

The pillow ships fully assembled with the insert inside the cover; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
