Outdoor Riff Pillow - Blue

Details at a Glance

A polyester-polypropylene blend designed to repel rain and resist UV damage keeps this pillow from fading in full sun or soaking through during a storm. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Riff Pillow in blue is a 22x22-inch fade-resistant outdoor throw pillow available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in California, it ships with both the removable cover and the insert included.

Will a Polyester-Polypropylene Blend Hold Up in Full-Sun Exposure?

Yes -- the 49 percent polyester, 51 percent polypropylene fabric is engineered specifically to resist UV breakdown and color loss, so the pillow maintains its blue tone even on patios that see direct sun all afternoon. The water-resistant finish repels rain and poolside splashes so the insert stays dry. All outdoor textiles experience some gradual color shift after years of continuous sun exposure, but this blend keeps its saturation far longer than untreated cotton or linen. It's also mildew-resistant because moisture doesn't soak into the fiber.

Do You Have to Bring This Pillow Indoors Between Uses?

You can leave it on a chair or bench in fair weather, but bringing it into a covered storage bin or garage during extended rainy periods or over winter will extend its lifespan. The fabric repels short rain showers, but prolonged moisture exposure can eventually work its way through seams or the zipper. To clean the cover, unzip it, remove the insert, and spot clean or machine wash the cover in cold water -- then air dry completely before reassembling.

Where Does a Square Blue Pillow Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

The 22-inch square format fits deep-seat sectionals and oversized lounge chairs in the outdoor accent chairs collection. Pair it with neutral cushions from the outdoor pillows range to anchor a coastal scheme, or layer it alongside solid white and coral accents for a Mediterranean palette. It also complements natural teak and all-weather wicker when you want to introduce color without pattern overload.
