Outdoor Riff Pillow - Ebony

Details at a Glance

When a patio pillow spends the season in full sun and surprise afternoon showers, the fabric matters more than the pattern. This 22-inch weather-resistant pillow in ebony handles UV exposure and water without fading or holding moisture. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Riff Pillow in Ebony, a fade-resistant outdoor throw pillow handcrafted in California, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. A polyester-polypropylene blend and hidden-zipper cover deliver the performance outdoor seating needs without constant maintenance.

How Does This Fabric Handle Sun and Rain?

The pillow is built from 49% polyester and 51% polypropylene, a blend engineered to resist UV degradation and repel water. That construction keeps the ebony color from bleaching in direct sunlight and prevents the fabric from absorbing moisture when rain hits. The material dries quickly after poolside splashes or summer storms, so mildew doesn't set in the way cotton or linen would. You're getting fabric that holds its color depth through multiple seasons of sun exposure, not a cover you'll need to replace by mid-summer.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside After Every Rain?

No -- the water-resistant fabric lets the pillow handle rain without damage, though moving it under cover during heavy storms or winter months extends its life. Spot clean with mild soap and water when it needs it, then air dry. The removable cover with a concealed zipper comes off easily if you want to store it for the season or refresh it indoors. At 4 lbs, the pillow is light enough to move around without hassle, so you can bring it in overnight or toss it on a chair without rearranging the whole patio.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

A 22-inch square fits corner placement on sectionals, centered support on lounge chairs, or layered on benches with smaller accent pieces from the outdoor pillows collection. The ebony finish anchors neutral furniture or contrasts with lighter wicker and teak, and you can pair it with bold throws from outdoor accessories or position it near outdoor accent chairs to pull a seating area together. The hidden zipper keeps lines clean, so it looks sharp against any backdrop -- wood, metal, or resin wicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The polyester-polypropylene fabric is UV-stabilized to maintain color integrity through multiple seasons of direct sunlight, so the ebony finish won't bleach or gray the way untreated fabrics do.

Can this pillow stay outside all year in a coastal area?

The water-resistant, fade-resistant fabric handles salt air better than natural fibers, but bringing it indoors or under cover during winter storms and off-season months will extend its lifespan in high-moisture climates.

Does the pillow hold water inside if it gets rained on?

No -- the fabric repels water rather than absorbing it, and the quick-drying construction prevents moisture from sitting in the fill, so you won't end up with a soggy cushion or mildew smell.

How do I clean the cover if it gets dirt or pollen on it?

Spot clean with mild soap and water, then let it air dry. The removable cover with a hidden zipper comes off easily if you want to wash it separately or store it clean for the off-season.

Is the pillow heavy enough to stay put on a chair in the wind?

At 4 lbs, it has enough weight to resist light breezes but is still portable when you want to move it around the patio or bring it indoors.

Does the pillow ship fully assembled, or is there setup involved?

It ships ready to use -- no assembly required. Free curbside delivery is included; white-glove setup or in-room placement is available upon request for an additional fee.
