Mizu Handmade Outdoor Pillow

Details at a Glance

The fabric used on this pillow is treated to resist fading from UV exposure and to shed water when moisture lands on it, so it holds up to direct sun and rain on a patio or deck. The D.V. Kap Mizu Handmade Outdoor Pillow is a 22-inch square pillow with polyfill insert and a hidden zipper for cover removal, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Each piece is hand-cut and sewn to order in California, using the same fade-resistant, water-resistant fabric on both sides.

What Makes This Pillow Fabric Resist Fading and Water?

The fabric receives a treatment that repels moisture and blocks UV rays from breaking down the dye and fiber. This means the color stays stable under direct sun, and water beads off instead of soaking in -- important for a pillow that sits outside on exposed furniture. The polyfill insert dries quickly when it does get damp, which prevents mildew from forming inside. These are the two conditions you need to avoid the faded, mildewed cushions that standard indoor pillows turn into after a season outdoors.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside Every Time It Rains?

You don't, because the water-resistant fabric sheds light rain and the polyfill doesn't retain moisture the way foam or down does. That said, putting pillows under cover during heavy storms or weeks of wet weather extends their life -- any outdoor fabric will wear faster when constantly saturated. For off-season storage, remove the cover via the hidden zipper, wash both pieces according to the care label, and store them dry. The removable design makes this much easier than pillows with sewn-shut covers.

Where Does a 22-Inch Square Pillow Work on Your Patio?

This size fits standard outdoor seating -- sofas, sectionals, lounge chairs, benches, and porch swings. Layer it with other patterns and sizes from our outdoor pillows collection to build comfort and visual interest on seating in your outdoor living area. The same-fabric-both-sides construction means you can flip it or lean it either way without breaking the look. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs and outdoor accessories collections to pull a cohesive color palette across the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pillow fade if it sits in full sun all day?

The fabric is treated to resist UV fading, so it maintains color integrity under direct sun exposure far longer than untreated fabric. You'll still see gradual change over years, but not the rapid bleaching that happens to indoor pillows left outside.

Can this pillow get rained on without damage?

Yes, the water-resistant fabric handles rain, and the polyfill insert dries quickly. Storing it under cover during prolonged storms will extend its lifespan, but brief showers won't hurt it.

How do you clean the cover and insert?

Unzip the hidden zipper to separate the cover and insert, then follow the care instructions on each piece. The removable design lets you wash thoroughly without damaging the fill.

Is this suitable for a coastal patio with salt air?

The fade-resistant and water-resistant fabric holds up to moisture exposure, which is half the battle in salt air. Rinsing the cover occasionally to remove salt buildup will help maintain the fabric.

Do I need to store this pillow over winter?

It depends on your climate. If you have wet, freezing winters, storing it dry indoors prevents the fabric and fill from breaking down. In mild climates, you can leave it out year-round with periodic cleaning.

Does this ship fully assembled, and is delivery free?

The pillow arrives complete with cover and insert. LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA on all orders with no minimum purchase.
