The St. Thomas Lumbar Pillow is built from 100% polyester treated to resist both UV fade and water, so it holds its green color through full-sun afternoons and light rain. This 24x12-inch outdoor lumbar pillow is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in California with a hidden zipper and removable cover, it gives you clean access to the insert when it's time to spot clean.

How Does 100% Polyester Hold Up Against Sun and Rain?

Outdoor-grade polyester is stabilized against UV radiation, which means the fabric won't break down or lose pigment the way untreated textiles do after a season outdoors. The water-resistant finish sheds moisture during light showers, preventing mold and mildew from taking hold in the fill. You're looking at a pillow that can stay on a lounge chair through summer without fading to a washed-out shadow of its original green.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside Every Night?

Not after every use -- the water resistance handles dew and brief rain -- but you should bring it in during heavy storms or when you know it'll sit unused for weeks. Spot clean the cover with mild soap and water when dirt accumulates, or unzip and hand wash if the fabric needs a deeper refresh. Air dry completely before putting the cover back on the insert to prevent any trapped moisture from causing odor.

Where Does Lumbar Support Matter Most on a Patio?

Deep lounge chairs and sectionals are the obvious candidates -- anywhere you're sitting back for more than a few minutes and your spine needs that lower-curve support. Pair this pillow with a few square or rectangular cushions from the [outdoor pillows](/collections/outdoor-pillows) collection to build layers on a daybed or porch swing. It also works on [outdoor accent chairs](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs) with slatted backs that leave a gap where your lumbar region would otherwise press against wood or metal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The polyester resists sun and water, but it's best to store it indoors during winter or extended rainy seasons to prevent long-term wear and keep the fabric looking new.

Will the green color fade in direct sun?

The fabric is treated for fade resistance, so it will hold its color through typical summer exposure, though years of uninterrupted sun can cause gradual shift -- rotating pillows helps.

Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- polyester doesn't rust or corrode, and the water resistance helps rinse salt spray before it embeds, though you should hose the cover down periodically to prevent salt buildup.

How do you clean outdoor throw pillows?

Spot clean with mild soap and water, or unzip the hidden zipper and hand wash the cover, then air dry completely before reassembling.

What makes a pillow water resistant?

The polyester fibers are treated to repel moisture rather than absorb it, so rain beads off the surface instead of soaking through to the fill.

Does this ship fully assembled, or is there setup required?

It arrives with the cover on the insert, ready to use -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no assembly needed.
