Outdoor Skandia Pillow - Linen

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed polyester locks pigment into every fiber strand, so this pillow holds its multicolor design through years of direct sun, rain exposure, and humidity without the fade-out that surface-dyed fabrics suffer. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Skandia Pillow in Linen, a 22x22-inch weather resistant throw pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn to order in California, this design delivers the mildew resistance and quick-dry performance full-sun patios and pool decks demand.

How Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

Solution-dyed polyester embeds color during fiber extrusion, making fade resistance structural rather than a coating that wears off. You'll see five to seven seasons of full color intensity under direct UV, and the fabric sheds water instead of absorbing it -- rain beads off, the cover dries in an hour or two, and mildew can't take root in the quick-dry construction. The water-resistant finish protects against humidity spikes and sudden storms, so this pillow works on uncovered seating, poolside lounges, or coastal porches where salt air and moisture challenge untreated textiles.

Do You Have to Bring This Pillow Inside After Every Rain?

No -- the water-resistant polyester sheds rain and dries quickly, so an occasional storm won't damage the fabric or fill. That said, storing outdoor pillows during prolonged wet periods or off-season extends their lifespan by reducing UV and moisture exposure. The removeable cover unzips for machine washing or winter storage, and the hidden closure sits flat so seams won't snag on furniture frames or catch during cleaning.

Where Does This Pillow Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 22x22-inch square anchors outdoor sectionals under pergolas, outdoor accent chairs in full sun, or porch swings that see daily use. Pair multiples with solid neutrals from our outdoor accessories collection for a layered look, or cluster them on poolside chaises where the multicolor linen palette coordinates with natural wood, wicker, and powder-coated metal frames. The design grounds monochrome seating and works alongside natural-fiber rugs and lanterns in coastal, modern, or transitional settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The solution-dyed polyester resists UV and moisture, but storing it during winter or prolonged rain extends color retention and reduces wear from freeze-thaw cycles.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed fibers maintain color intensity for five to seven seasons in full sun, far outlasting surface-dyed cotton or linen that bleaches within months.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- this pillow's water-resistant cover sheds rain and dries within an hour or two, preventing mildew and keeping seating ready after storms.

What makes this pillow weather resistant?

Weather resistance comes from solution-dyed polyester, a water-repellent coating, and quick-dry construction that sheds moisture, resists UV degradation, and blocks mildew.

How do you clean a weather resistant pillow?

Unzip the removeable cover and machine wash it as needed, or spot clean surface dirt with mild soap and a damp cloth.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes -- the pillow arrives complete with cover and insert, ready to place on seating. LOOMLAN Outdoor offers free curbside delivery to the continental USA.
