Solution-dyed polyester locks grey color into every fiber before the fabric is even woven, so this 22-inch square pillow won't bleach out under full afternoon sun or trap mildew after a rainstorm. The Outdoor Stratford Pillow in Grey -- a weather resistant outdoor pillow handcrafted in California -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its 6-inch loft and hidden-zipper removable cover make it as practical as it is fade resistant.
Why Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Resist Fading Better Than Surface-Printed Fabric?
The dye penetrates the fiber during manufacturing, not afterward, so UV rays can't strip pigment from the surface the way they do with printed or dyed-after-weaving fabrics. You get fade resistance that holds through years of continuous sun exposure. The polyester also repels water, preventing moisture from soaking into the fill and breeding mildew, and it dries quickly after rain so the pillow is ready to use again within hours.
Do You Have to Bring Outdoor Pillows Inside Every Night?
No -- this pillow is engineered to stay outside through rain and sun, though storing it under cover during heavy storms or winter will extend its life even further. The removable cover unzips for spot cleaning when pollen or dust accumulates, and the separate insert allows you to launder the shell without waiting days for a thick fill to dry. For off-season storage, pull the cover, hose it down if needed, let both pieces dry completely, and store in a deck box or garage.
Where Does a 22-Inch Grey Pillow Work Best?
Layer it on deep-seat sectionals or outdoor accent chairs where you want the loft to support your lower back, or pair multiples down a porch swing for a clean, coordinated look. The neutral grey works with natural teak, powder-coated black aluminum, and all-weather wicker, and it layers well with other outdoor pillows in warmer accent tones. Designers also use it on dining benches moved to covered patios, where the water-resistant cover handles the occasional splash from a pitcher or unexpected shower.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this pillow stay outside all year?
- Yes, the solution-dyed polyester and water-resistant construction allow it to handle year-round exposure, though off-season storage under cover will prolong the fabric and fill.
- Will the grey color fade in direct sun?
- No -- solution-dyeing locks the pigment into the fiber during manufacturing, so continuous UV exposure won't strip the color the way surface-dyed fabrics fade.
- Can outdoor pillows get rained on?
- Yes, this pillow's water-resistant polyester repels moisture and dries quickly, preventing the fill from trapping water and growing mildew.
- Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?
- Yes, polyester resists salt-air corrosion and moisture better than natural fibers, making it a reliable choice for beachfront patios.
- How do I clean the cover?
- Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and spot clean or hand wash, then let it air dry before reassembling.
