Outdoor Ocean Gate Pillow - Navy

Details at a Glance

Most decorative pillows fade, mildew, or lose their shape after one season of UV exposure and rain -- this one doesn't. The D.V. Kap Ocean Gate Pillow in Navy is a 22-inch square outdoor throw pillow handcrafted in California from 100% olefin fabric that resists fading and repels water through years of patio use, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Solution-dyed olefin fiber maintains color even in full sun and dries quickly after rain.

How Does Olefin Hold Up to Rain and UV Exposure?

Olefin is solution-dyed during fiber production, which means the color runs through the entire strand rather than sitting on the surface -- UV rays can't bleach it the way they fade printed cotton or untreated polyester. This pillow's 100% olefin construction resists fading for years in direct sun, repels water instead of soaking it up, and inhibits mildew growth because the fiber dries fast after rain or humidity. It won't degrade in salt air, and it handles temperature swings from freezing winter nights to summer afternoon heat without cracking or losing shape.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside After Every Rain?

No -- the olefin fabric sheds water and dries quickly, so a passing shower won't damage it. That said, storing pillows in a deck box or covered bin during extended wet periods or off-season prolongs their lifespan by limiting dirt buildup and constant moisture exposure. The removable cover has a hidden zipper, so you can pull it off to spot-clean or swap the insert without visible hardware interrupting the design.

Where Does a 22-Inch Navy Outdoor Pillow Work Best?

Use it solo on poolside loungers where it'll resist chlorine exposure, or layer multiple pillows from the outdoor pillows collection on sectionals and porch swings to create cohesive arrangements. The generous 22-inch square format provides real back support on outdoor accent chairs and anchors cushion stacks on daybeds. Pair it with contrasting textures from the outdoor accessories line on covered patios, or scatter a few across deep-seat lounge furniture for a finished look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The olefin fabric resists UV, water, and mildew year-round, but storing it in a deck box during extended wet periods or harsh winter weather prolongs its life and keeps it cleaner.

Will the navy color fade in direct sun?

No -- solution-dyed olefin resists fading for years even in full-sun locations because the color is locked into the fiber during production, not printed on the surface.

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

Yes -- olefin won't corrode or degrade in salt air, making it a strong choice for beachfront patios and poolside use.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- this pillow's olefin fabric repels water and dries quickly after rain, though storing it during extended wet spells keeps dirt from accumulating.

What makes olefin better than cotton for outdoor use?

Olefin is solution-dyed, water-repellent, fast-drying, and mildew-resistant, while cotton absorbs moisture, fades rapidly in UV, and mildews when damp.

Does this pillow ship assembled, and is delivery free?

It ships ready to use with free curbside delivery to the continental USA -- no assembly required.
