Botanical Blue Outdoor Throw Pillows - Weather Resistant Patio Pillow

Details at a Glance

The 100% polyester slub fabric in these pillows resists UV fade and moisture while the digitally printed botanical pattern maintains its color clarity through seasons of sun exposure. These Botanical Blue outdoor throw pillows, measuring 20 inches square and 6.5 inches thick, are available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The hand-guided embroidery adds dimensional texture to the cornflower blue and ivory design while the slubbed weave delivers quick-drying performance on covered porches and patios.

How Does Polyester Slub Fabric Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

Polyester slub weave repels moisture and dries quickly after rain, preventing the mildew buildup that natural fibers invite in humid climates. The synthetic fiber resists UV degradation, so the digitally printed botanical pattern won't bleach out in direct sun the way cotton prints fade by mid-summer. The slubbed texture itself -- those intentional thick-and-thin variations in the yarn -- adds a soft, linen-like hand without absorbing water, so the pillow stays comfortable even in damp coastal air. The embroidered highlights are spun polyester thread, so they're colorfast and won't unravel when wet.

Do You Need to Bring These Inside for Winter?

These pillows tolerate light rain and casual outdoor use, but bringing them inside or storing them in a covered bin during heavy storms and over winter extends their life. The polyester fabric is weather-resistant, not waterproof -- prolonged soaking can stress the seams and the fill over time. Machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle before storing, remove them promptly, and skip the dryer (air-dry flat instead). A light iron works if you need to refresh the fabric after storage, but don't bleach -- it'll strip the printed color.

Where Do These Pillows Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 20-inch square size fits standard patio furniture -- layer a pair on a cushioned bench, toss them onto outdoor accent chairs, or cluster three across a sectional alongside your outdoor pillows. The farmhouse botanical print in cornflower blue and ivory pairs naturally with teak, woven rattan, or whitewashed wood furniture. If you're pulling together a cohesive look, add outdoor accessories like lanterns or trays in complementary metal finishes, and consider outdoor wall art in similar blues to tie the space together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the botanical print fade in direct sun?

The digitally printed design uses colorfast dyes on UV-resistant polyester, so it resists fading far better than cotton or linen prints. Rotating the pillows occasionally and providing partial shade keeps the color sharpest longest.

Can these stay outside in light rain?

Yes, the polyester slub fabric repels moisture and dries quickly, but store them under cover or bring them inside during heavy downpours to protect the seams and fill.

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

Polyester resists salt air and humidity better than natural fibers, making these pillows a practical choice for covered coastal porches where mildew is a concern.

How do you wash these outdoor throw pillows?

Machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dry flat -- don't tumble dry or bleach. The hidden zipper lets you remove the insert if you prefer to wash just the cover.

What insert do these pillows use?

The 6.5-inch loft suggests a standard polyester-fill insert; the hidden zipper lets you swap it if you want firmer or softer support.

Do these pillows ship fully assembled?

Yes, they arrive filled and ready to use. Standard curbside delivery is free to the continental USA; setup and placement assistance are available for an additional fee upon request.
