Medallion Ivory Outdoor Throw Pillows - Weather Resistant Patio Pillow

Details at a Glance

Polyester duck weave resists both UV fading and quick moisture uptake, making this 20x20-inch outdoor pillow a solid choice for covered patios and screened porches that face moderate sun exposure. The Medallion Ivory Outdoor Throw Pillow with hand-knotted PET yarn accents is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its knife-edge profile and soft adobe palette work across multiple seating styles without demanding the premium of solution-dyed acrylic fabrics.

How Does Polyester Duck Handle Sun and Rain?

Polyester duck is a tightly woven synthetic fabric that dries faster than cotton and resists mildew growth when air circulation is present. The fiber itself holds color better than natural materials, so you'll see less fade over a season of moderate UV exposure. It's not impervious -- pillows left in full-day direct sun will gradually lighten, and prolonged soaking in heavy rain shortens lifespan -- but for covered outdoor seating or a sunroom that transitions to the porch, polyester duck delivers weather resistance without the cost of branded marine-grade fabrics.

Should You Bring This Inside for Winter?

Yes, if you want it to last multiple seasons. Polyester resists moisture and mildew, but freezing rain, snow load, and months of damp conditions will break down stitching and reduce loft. Machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle at the end of the season, lay it flat to dry completely, then store it in a sealed bin or closet until spring. The hidden zipper lets you remove the fill if you prefer to wash the cover separately.

Where Does This Pillow Fit Best?

The 20-inch square pairs cleanly with deep-seat sectionals on covered patios or layered into outdoor accent chairs that sit under a pergola. Mix it with solid cushions from the outdoor pillows collection to add dimensional texture without overwhelming neutral seating, or use it indoors on a sunroom sofa that extends your living space into the yard. The ivory and adobe tones bridge bohemian and farmhouse aesthetics, so it adapts to both modern powder-coated frames and traditional wicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade in direct sun?

Polyester resists fading better than cotton or linen, but full-day direct sun will gradually lighten the ivory and adobe over multiple seasons. It performs best in partial shade or covered areas.

Can this stay outside all year?

No. Polyester duck handles moderate weather, but winter freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and prolonged rain will shorten its lifespan. Store it indoors from late fall through early spring.

Is it suitable for coastal or salt-air locations?

Yes, if the seating is covered. Polyester doesn't corrode, but salt spray and constant humidity demand more frequent washing to prevent surface buildup and mildew.

How do you clean weather-resistant outdoor pillows?

Machine wash this pillow separately in cold water on a gentle cycle, then lay it flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron at high heat.

What's the difference between this and Sunbrella pillows?

Sunbrella is solution-dyed acrylic engineered for full-sun marine environments and carries a fade warranty; polyester duck offers weather resistance at a lower price point for covered or partially shaded outdoor spaces.

Does this pillow ship free, and does it require assembly?

Yes, it ships free via standard curbside delivery to the continental USA, and it arrives fully assembled with fill in place.
