Outdoor Mandros Pillow - Coral

Details at a Glance

Pillows that lose their color after one summer or turn stiff after a rain don't belong on a patio you're building to last. The Outdoor Mandros Pillow in coral uses 100% solution-dyed polyester to resist UV fade and repel water across multiple seasons in full sun. The Outdoor Mandros Pillow -- a 22-inch square throw pillow handcrafted in California -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Stand Up to Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed polyester locks pigment at the molecular level during fiber manufacturing, so color can't wash out or bleach away the way surface-dyed fabrics do. The coral hue stays true through years of direct UV exposure. The fabric's water-resistant finish sheds light rain and pool splash, preventing saturation and the mildew growth that follows. You're looking at a pillow engineered for the weather conditions that ruin standard indoor throws in a single season.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside When It Rains?

The water-resistant shell repels light rain and dries quickly, so a passing shower won't ruin it. Repeated soaking or pooling water should still be avoided -- no outdoor fabric is waterproof, and keeping the insert dry extends its life. For winter storage or heavy storms, pull the cover off via the hidden zipper and bring it inside, or toss the whole pillow into a deck box. Off-season care is simple: machine wash the cover and store the insert in a dry spot.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

The 22-inch square format fits standard outdoor accent chairs, sectional corners, and chaise lounges without overwhelming smaller frames. Pair it with neutral tones from the outdoor pillows collection to anchor a seating group, or layer it with other coral and rust shades for a warm, layered look. It works equally well on a covered porch, poolside lounger, or open-deck sectional where coral tones complement teak, wicker, or powder-coated aluminum. Add coordinating pieces from outdoor accessories to tie the color story across the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the coral color fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed polyester resists UV-induced fading far longer than standard fabrics because the pigment is locked into the fiber at the molecular level, not printed on the surface.

Can this stay outside all year?

The fabric resists fade and moisture, but bringing the pillow inside or into covered storage during winter protects the insert from freeze-thaw cycles and extends overall life.

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

Solution-dyed polyester doesn't corrode or rust, so the fabric itself handles salt air without issue -- just rinse it occasionally to prevent salt buildup on the surface.

How do I clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and machine wash it. The removable insert makes cleaning simple and helps the pillow last across multiple seasons.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

The water-resistant fabric sheds light rain, but repeated soaking or pooling water should be avoided to prevent insert saturation and maximize fabric life.

Does it ship fully assembled?

The pillow arrives with cover and insert assembled. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
