Outdoor Overlock Pillow - Midnight

Details at a Glance

Standard outdoor pillows fade to pastels in a single summer, soak through in the rain, and smell like mildew by mid-season because their fabrics can't handle UV exposure or water. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Overlock Pillow in Midnight -- a 22-inch square fade-resistant outdoor pillow in 100% Sunbrella acrylic with a hidden zipper and removable cover -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn to order in California, this water-resistant pillow delivers commercial-grade performance on uncovered patios, porches, and poolside seating.

Will This Pillow Fade After a Season in Direct Sun?

No -- this pillow holds its midnight black through multiple seasons in full sun because Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed, meaning the pigment runs through the entire fiber instead of sitting on the surface. UV rays break down surface-dyed fabrics quickly, but solution-dyed fibers maintain color integrity season after season. The overlock stitching reinforces every seam so the construction lasts as long as the fabric does, and the whole piece is built to commercial hospitality standards where a faded pillow gets replaced immediately.

How Does It Handle Rain and Moisture?

Sunbrella acrylic repels water on contact and dries quickly, so a passing storm won't soak the pillow or leave it damp for days. The fabric sheds rain instead of absorbing it, which is why it resists mildew even in humid climates -- there's no standing moisture for spores to grow on. You can leave this on uncovered seating through light rain without worrying about mold or that sour smell that hits indoor pillows left outside. If you're in a climate with heavy downpours or extended wet seasons, pull it inside during the worst stretches, but occasional rain won't hurt it.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to, but you'll extend its life if you do -- especially in climates with freezing rain, heavy snow, or months of standing moisture. Sunbrella resists mildew and UV damage, but no outdoor fabric lasts forever under constant winter exposure. Remove the cover via the hidden zipper and store it indoors, or toss the whole pillow in a waterproof deck box if you have one. If you're in a mild coastal zone with dry winters, leaving it on a covered porch is fine -- just bring it in during storms.

Where Does a Midnight Black Pillow Work Best on a Patio?

The midnight colorway anchors lighter neutrals and patterns without showing every bit of pollen or dirt, so it works well on high-traffic seating near grills or dining zones. Layer it with textured or patterned pieces from the outdoor pillows collection on sectionals, loveseats, or porch swings to add depth without going monochrome. It also pairs cleanly with the neutral frames in the outdoor accent chairs collection, and it transitions easily to covered porches where you mix indoor and outdoor furniture. If you're building a layered look, the outdoor accessories collection has coordinating pieces that won't compete with the pillow's solid black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the color fade if this sits in full sun all day?

The Sunbrella acrylic is solution-dyed, so the pigment runs through the fiber -- UV rays won't bleach it to gray the way they do with surface-dyed fabrics.

Can this stay outside through rain?

Yes -- the acrylic fabric repels water and dries quickly, so light rain won't soak it or cause mildew. Bring it in during prolonged heavy downpours or winter storms.

Is it suitable for coastal patios with salt air?

Yes -- Sunbrella acrylic resists salt air and won't corrode or degrade the way metal-threaded fabrics sometimes do in coastal zones.

How do you clean outdoor throw pillows?

Unzip the hidden closure and remove the cover, then machine wash cold with mild detergent or spot clean with a soft brush and soapy water.

Does this ship fully assembled?

This pillow ships ready to use -- just unbox it and place it on your seating. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.

What size is this pillow?

It measures 22 inches wide, 22 inches tall, and 6 inches deep -- a standard throw-pillow size that fits most outdoor seating without overwhelming smaller chairs.
