May Striped Outdoor Throw Pillowss - Weather Resistant Patio Pillow

Details at a Glance

The slub polyester face repels rain and resists mildew while the digitally printed stripes hold color through full-sun exposure season after season. The May Striped Outdoor Throw Pillow, a 20-inch-square weather-resistant pillow, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-guided PET yarn embroidery adds texture and a subtle shine that catches changing light throughout the day.

How Does Slub Polyester Hold Up Against Rain and UV?

Slub polyester mimics the texture of linen but sheds water instead of absorbing it, so the pillow dries quickly after a storm and resists mold and mildew growth. The synthetic fiber's UV-blocking properties prevent the blue or grey stripes from bleaching under direct sun, maintaining consistent color saturation over multiple seasons. Digital printing locks pigment into the weave rather than coating the surface, so the pattern won't crack or peel with repeated exposure to heat and moisture.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

The woven polyester construction tolerates rain and sun, but you should bring the pillow inside during prolonged wet periods or store it in a weatherproof box over winter to preserve the embroidery and extend its lifespan. If the pillow does get rained on, remove it promptly and let it air-dry flat -- standing water can dull the PET yarn's shine over time. Machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle at the start and end of each season, then air-dry completely before returning it to your [outdoor accent chairs](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs) or patio sectional.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 20-inch-square format fits standard outdoor sofa cushions, lounge chairs, and porch swings without gaps or overhang. Layer it with solid-color [outdoor pillows](/collections/outdoor-pillows) on a sectional or pair the striped design with textured throws on bistro seating to bridge modern and farmhouse styles. The blue/ivory option complements coastal palettes, while grey/ivory anchors industrial metal furniture or pairs with neutral [outdoor accessories](/collections/outdoor-accessories) like lanterns and planters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the stripes fade in direct sun?

The digitally printed polyester resists UV damage better than cotton or linen, so the blue or grey hues stay consistent through prolonged sun exposure, though rotating pillows every few weeks extends longevity.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the slub polyester repels water and dries quickly; remove it after rain and let it air-dry to prevent mildew and maintain the embroidery's appearance.

How do I clean outdoor throw pillows?

Machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle, remove promptly, and air-dry flat -- never tumble dry or bleach, and use a light iron if needed.

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

Polyester and PET yarn resist salt corrosion and moisture better than natural fibers, so the pillow performs well in coastal environments; rinse it occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup.

What makes this pillow weather resistant?

Weather resistance comes from the 100% synthetic construction -- polyester slub repels moisture, dries fast, blocks UV rays, and resists mildew, all without the breakdown natural fibers experience outdoors.

Does the pillow arrive ready to use or do I need to assemble it?

It ships complete with the hidden zipper closure already installed; free curbside delivery to the continental USA, no assembly required.
