Outdoor St. Thomas Pillow

Details at a Glance

Outdoor furniture looks great until the first rainstorm soaks through your cushions or the sun bleaches them pale by July. The D.V. Kap Outdoor St. Thomas Pillow fights back with fade-resistant polyester and a water-resistant finish that sheds moisture before mildew takes hold. This 22 x 22 inch green outdoor throw pillow, complete with removable cover and insert, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Fade-Resistant Polyester Hold Up in Full Sun?

Fade-resistant polyester is engineered with UV-stabilized fibers that maintain color intensity even under continuous sun exposure and coastal salt spray. The water-resistant finish forms a protective barrier that repels rain and spills, preventing saturation that leads to mildew growth and fabric degradation. While all textiles experience gradual fading over years of direct UV bombardment, this construction minimizes color loss season after season, so your pillow arrangement stays vibrant through summer heat and spring storms.

Can This Pillow Stay Outside During Rain?

Yes -- the water-resistant finish sheds light to moderate rain without soaking through to the insert. The fabric repels moisture on contact, and the quick-dry insert releases any absorbed water quickly. That said, storing outdoor pillows under cover during heavy downpours or when you're away for days extends their lifespan by reducing cumulative moisture exposure. For winter storage, pull the cover off via the hidden zipper and stow both pieces in a dry bin or shed.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 22-inch square size anchors pillow arrangements on sectionals, chaise lounges, and deep-seat outdoor accent chairs. Layer it with lumbar cushions or solid decorative pillows in complementary greens to unify your look across furniture zones. Pair with outdoor accessories like lanterns or planters to tie the green accent through your whole space, and consider adding weather-resistant outdoor wall art in similar tones for a cohesive feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the green fade if this sits in direct sun all summer?

Fade-resistant polyester minimizes color loss even in full-sun exposure, though all outdoor textiles will show gradual fading over several years of continuous UV bombardment.

Can this pillow get rained on without damage?

Yes -- the water-resistant finish sheds light to moderate rain, though storing under cover during heavy storms extends lifespan by reducing moisture exposure.

How do you clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, then spot clean with mild soap and water or machine wash on gentle cycle and air dry to prevent shrinkage.

Is this suitable for a coastal location with salt air?

Yes -- the fade-resistant polyester and water-resistant finish withstand coastal salt spray without degrading or discoloring.

Does this come fully assembled?

The pillow ships with both the insert inside the cover and the hidden zipper closed, ready to place on your furniture. Free curbside delivery is included.

What makes this weather resistant instead of just weatherproof?

Weather-resistant pillows combine water-repellent fabric treatments, UV-stabilized fibers, and quick-dry inserts that prevent moisture retention and mildew formation, but they're not impervious to years of harsh exposure.
