Outdoor Sailing Pillow - Navy

Details at a Glance

Most outdoor pillows bleach to pastels or grow mildew within one season, but this navy pillow is built with UV-stabilized 100% polyester that holds its color through years of full sun and sudden rain. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Sailing Pillow, a 22-inch square weather-resistant outdoor pillow handcrafted in California, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You get a hidden zipper for easy cover removal, water-resistant construction that sheds splashes and dries fast, and double-stitched seams that won't unravel in high wind.

Will This Pillow Fade After a Summer in the Sun?

No -- the 100% polyester fabric is UV-stabilized during manufacturing, so the navy color resists bleaching even when the pillow sits on a lounge in full afternoon sun every day. Untreated cotton or linen fades to dull gray within weeks, but UV-resistant polyester locks pigment into the fiber and maintains rich color for multiple seasons. You'll see the same deep navy in year three that you saw when you unpacked it.

Can This Pillow Get Rained On, or Do You Have to Bring It Inside?

It can handle rain -- the water-resistant finish repels moisture so the pillow dries quickly without staining or mildew. That said, storing it under a covered porch or in a deck box during storms extends its life, and you should bring it inside or seal it in waterproof storage over winter if you live where snow and ice sit for weeks. Remove the cover via the hidden zipper and air it out completely before storing off-season to prevent any trapped moisture from turning into mildew in a closed bin.

Where Does a 22-Inch Navy Pillow Work Best on a Patio?

This size fits deep-seat sectionals, lounge chairs, porch swings, and poolside daybeds -- anywhere you want a crisp nautical accent that won't compete with busier patterns. Layer it with neutral or striped pillows from the outdoor pillows collection to add depth, or use it as a solo accent on outdoor accent chairs. Navy anchors coastal color schemes without reading as beachy, so it also works on urban balconies and mountain decks where you want a clean, non-fading pop of color.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the navy color fade if this pillow sits in full sun every day?

No -- the UV-stabilized polyester holds its color through years of direct sun exposure, unlike untreated fabrics that bleach to pale blue within one season.

Can I leave this pillow outside during a rainstorm?

Yes, the water-resistant construction repels rain and dries quickly, though storing it under cover during heavy storms extends its lifespan.

Is this suitable for a coastal patio with salt air?

Yes -- the polyester fabric and reinforced stitching resist salt-air corrosion and mildew better than natural fibers.

How do I clean the pillow if it gets dirty?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, spot-clean with mild soap and water, then air-dry completely before putting it back on the insert.

Does the pillow come assembled, or is there setup required?

It arrives ready to use -- no assembly. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; in-room placement and setup are available for an additional fee upon request.
