Outdoor Roddy Pillow - Flax

Details at a Glance

Full-sun decks and salt-air porches destroy standard pillows in a single season, but UV-resistant poly-olefin blends hold their color year after year. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Roddy Pillow in Flax is a 22-inch-square weather-resistant outdoor pillow available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn in California, it pairs a grey flax tone with fade-resistant construction and a removable cover that simplifies maintenance when humidity spikes or storms roll in.

Will This Pillow Fade After a Season in Direct Sun?

No -- the UV-resistant poly-olefin fabric is engineered to retain color through continuous full-sun exposure. Olefin is solution-dyed, meaning pigment is locked into the fiber before it's woven, so sun can't leach the color out the way it does with surface-dyed cotton or untreated synthetics. Poly reinforces the weave and adds abrasion resistance. If you've placed throw pillows on a south-facing sectional and watched them bleach to nothing by August, this is the material upgrade that solves it.

How Do You Clean It When Pollen or Salt Spray Builds Up?

Unzip the hidden closure, pull off the cover, and either spot clean or run it through the washing machine on gentle cycle according to the care label -- then air dry. The water-resistant construction means the pillow itself sheds light rain and dries quickly between cleanings, so mildew doesn't take hold. You're not locked into a single cleaning method, and you don't have to leave grime on the fabric because you're afraid water will ruin it.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside Every Night?

No, but doing so extends its life. The UV-stable fibers and water-repellent treatment let this pillow handle overnight dew and passing showers without damage, but storing it during heavy storms or over winter keeps the fill lofted and the zipper smooth. If your patio is covered and you're in a dry climate, it can stay out most of the year; if you're coastal with frequent rain, a deck box for overnight storage is worth it.

Where Does a 22-Inch Square Pillow Work Best Outdoors?

Deep-seat lounge chairs and sectionals -- anywhere you want full lumbar support or a larger accent that doesn't get lost against wide cushions. Pair it with smaller outdoor pillows in complementary textures on a daybed, or cluster three on a porch swing for a coastal look. The neutral grey flax tone works with natural teak, powder-coated aluminum frames, and the woven textures you'll find across our outdoor accent chairs and outdoor accessories collections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year in full sun?

The UV-resistant poly-olefin fabric and water-repellent construction allow it to withstand full-sun exposure and light rain year-round, though bringing it inside during heavy storms or winter extends the life of the fill and zipper.

Will the grey flax color fade on a coastal porch with salt air?

No -- the solution-dyed olefin locks pigment into the fiber before weaving, so salt spray and UV exposure won't leach the color out the way they do with surface-dyed or untreated fabrics.

Is it suitable for a location that gets afternoon storms every day?

Yes, the water-resistant construction sheds rain and dries quickly, preventing mildew in humid climates, though a covered patio or quick removal during downpours keeps the fill from compressing over time.

How do you wash the cover when pollen builds up?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and spot clean or machine wash on gentle cycle per the care label, then air dry.

Does a 22-inch pillow work on standard outdoor furniture?

Yes -- it provides full-back support on deep-seat lounge chairs and pairs well with smaller throw pillows on sectionals or daybeds.

Does this include free shipping and assembly?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA is included; the pillow arrives fully finished and ready to place.
