Botanical Ivory Outdoor Throw Pillows

Details at a Glance

Polyester resists what cotton and linen can't -- UV fade, moisture absorption, and mildew growth -- which is why these pillows hold their ivory and natural color palette through full-sun afternoons and sudden rain showers. The Botanical Ivory Outdoor Throw Pillows with hand-guided machine embroidery are available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does 100% Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Moisture?

Polyester fibers don't absorb water the way natural fibers do, so they dry quickly after rain and resist mildew even in humid climates. The synthetic structure also blocks UV rays from breaking down the color molecules, which means the ivory base and embroidered botanical detail won't bleach out or turn gray after a season in direct sun. You'll see some gradual fading over years of continuous outdoor exposure, but polyester holds color far longer than cotton or linen would in the same spot. The slubbed weave adds texture that mimics natural fabric but keeps the durability polyester delivers.

Can You Leave Them Outside All Year?

You can leave these pillows on a covered porch year-round without worry, and they'll tolerate light rain or morning dew without damage. For heavy storms or winter months, bringing them inside or storing them in a deck box extends their lifespan -- polyester resists moisture, but standing water and freeze-thaw cycles still stress seams and zippers over time. The hidden zipper closure makes it easy to remove the fill for off-season storage if you want to keep just the covers in a bin. Cold-water machine washing on gentle cycle brings them back to fresh each spring, and they air-dry quickly without the mildew risk you'd face with down or cotton fill.

Where Do 20x20-Inch Outdoor Pillows Work Best?

The square 20-inch format fits standard outdoor seating -- wicker sofas, outdoor accent chairs, porch swings, and the corner spots on sectionals where you want a softer back rest. The neutral botanical pattern layers well with solid-color pillows from the outdoor pillows collection, and the ivory and natural palette works with cottage, coastal, and modern styles. Use them on a covered patio where they're protected from the heaviest weather, or pair them with outdoor accessories like weatherproof lanterns and planters to finish a seating area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the embroidered pattern fade in direct sun?

The spun polyester embroidery thread resists UV fade the same way the base fabric does, so the botanical detail holds its contrast through full-sun exposure better than printed-only patterns would.

Can these pillows get rained on?

Yes -- polyester construction tolerates rain and dries quickly -- but bringing them inside during heavy storms or storing them in a covered spot maximizes their lifespan.

How do you clean outdoor polyester pillows?

Machine wash separately in cold water on gentle cycle, remove promptly, and air dry. Do not tumble dry or bleach, and use a light iron if needed to smooth wrinkles.

Do outdoor pillows work in coastal or salt-air locations?

Polyester resists salt air better than natural fibers, so these pillows work on coastal porches. Rinse them occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup on the fabric surface.

What size pillow insert fits a 20x20-inch cover?

A 20x20-inch or 22x22-inch insert fills the cover properly. The hidden zipper makes it easy to swap or replace the fill as needed.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, these pillows arrive ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
