Outdoor Soonsa Pillow - Gilt

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized poly resists color fade when left in full sun season after season, and the water-repellent finish means this pillow can handle a quick rain shower without mildewing. The D.V. Kap Soonsa Pillow in Gilt, a 22x22-inch outdoor throw pillow with fade-resistant UV fabric, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Each one is handcrafted in California with a removable cover and hidden zipper, so you can pull the insert, spot clean, and put it right back on the chaise or sectional.

Will This Fade in Full Sun or Soak Through in Rain?

The 100% poly UV fabric is solution-dyed and UV-stabilized, which means the gilt brown pigment runs all the way through the fiber instead of sitting on the surface -- direct sun won't bleach it season after season. The water-resistant coating sheds rain quickly enough that the pillow dries fast and won't grow mildew if it gets caught in a storm, though you'll still want to bring it under cover during heavy downpours or over winter to keep the fill from compressing. This is the kind of fabric engineered for uncovered patios and poolside lounges where shade is optional.

How Do You Clean It Without Wrecking the Fabric?

Unzip the hidden closure, pull out the insert, and spot clean the cover with mild soap and cold water -- or throw the cover in the washing machine on a gentle cycle if it needs a deeper refresh. Air-dry it flat, then slide the insert back in and zip it shut. The removable design is what makes a weather-resistant pillow last more than one season; you're never stuck scrubbing a fixed cover that won't come clean. Hosing the pillow down while it's assembled works for surface dust, but pulling the cover extends its life by years.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Layer this 22x22-inch square on sectionals, benches, or porch swings alongside a mix of textures from the outdoor pillows collection -- neutrals, stripes, or solids that pick up the gilt brown tone. It pairs cleanly with deep-seat outdoor accent chairs where you want softness at the lower back, and the fade-resistant fabric means you can leave it out on chaises and daybeds all summer without rotating it away from the sun. Stack two or three on a long outdoor sofa to fill the space without crowding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The UV-resistant poly and water-repellent finish let it handle spring through fall outdoors, but storing it in a covered bin or garage over winter prevents the insert from compressing under heavy snow or weeks of rain.

Will the gilt brown color fade in direct sun?

The fabric is UV-stabilized and solution-dyed, so the pigment runs through the fiber -- it resists fading even in full sun all season.

What makes this weather resistant instead of just water resistant?

Weather resistance combines UV-stabilized fabric that won't fade, a water-repellent coating that sheds rain, and a quick-drying insert that prevents mildew when the pillow gets wet.

Is this suitable for a coastal patio with salt air?

Yes -- the poly UV fabric and hidden zipper hardware handle salt air better than natural fibers or untreated metal, though rinsing the cover occasionally prevents salt buildup.

How heavy is this pillow?

It weighs 4.0 lbs, so it stays put on a chaise in light wind but isn't so heavy that you can't move it between seats.

Does this ship fully assembled or do I need to install the insert?

It ships with the insert already inside the zippered cover -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA, no assembly required.
