Outdoor Tassel Stripe Lumbar Pillow - Grey

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed polyester locks color into every fiber before the fabric is woven, so UV rays can't strip pigment the way they do with surface-dyed material -- this lumbar pillow holds its grey stripe for seasons in full sun. The tight weave sheds rain and spills, keeping the insert dry even when a storm rolls through. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Tassel Stripe Lumbar Pillow in Grey -- a 24 x 12-inch fade-resistant outdoor lumbar pillow with hand-applied tassels -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyeing saturates the synthetic fiber with pigment before it's spun into thread, which means color is locked into the core of each strand rather than sitting on the surface. UV light can't bleach it away the way it does with conventionally dyed cotton or polyester, so the grey stripes stay sharp season after season. The polyester itself repels moisture -- the tight weave sheds rain off the shell, and the synthetic fiber won't absorb water or support mildew the way natural fibers do. If the cover does get soaked through, you can unzip it, hand wash, and air dry before reassembling.

Should You Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to -- solution-dyed polyester won't rot or fade if left out -- but bringing it in or storing it in a deck box extends the life of the insert and keeps the hidden zipper from corroding in wet climates. If you're in a dry winter zone, you can leave it on the chair under a furniture cover and it'll come back fine in spring. If you're coastal or see heavy rain, pull the pillows indoors between uses to keep the insert dry and avoid any salt-air buildup on the zipper.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Layer this 24-inch lumbar behind a pair of square cushions on a deep-seat lounge in your outdoor accent chairs collection, or tuck it into a bench alongside outdoor pillows in complementary solids for lower-back support during long dinners. The tassel stripe reads coastal without being nautical, so it pairs as easily with clean-lined aluminum frames as it does with teak or wicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed polyester resists UV fading far longer than surface-dyed fabrics -- the color is locked into the fiber core, so expect the grey stripes to hold for multiple seasons in full sun.

Can this stay outside all year?

The polyester shell won't rot or fade if left out, but storing it indoors or in a deck box over winter keeps the insert dry and protects the zipper in wet or coastal climates.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- the water-resistant polyester shell repels rain, though you should remove and air-dry the insert if it gets soaked through to prevent any mildew in the fill.

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

Solution-dyed polyester handles salt air well because the synthetic fiber doesn't absorb moisture or corrode, though you'll want to rinse the cover occasionally and store the pillow between uses to keep salt from building up on the zipper.

How do you clean outdoor throw pillows?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and hand wash it in cool water with mild detergent; air dry flat before putting it back on the insert.
