Outdoor Indiana Pillow - Linen

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed polyester holds color under full sun and sheds rain fast enough to block mildew -- the two forces that wreck standard pillows in a single season. The D.V. Kap Indiana Outdoor Pillow in Linen, a 22 x 22 inch fade-resistant outdoor pillow in a brown linen texture, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn to order in California, it features a hidden zipper and both removable cover and insert for independent cleaning.

How Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Resist Fade and Mildew?

Solution-dyed means color runs through the entire fiber before the fabric is woven, so there's no surface dye for UV rays to strip. This polyester resists fading even in full-sun placements where standard dyed fabrics bleach within weeks. The synthetic fiber also repels water instead of absorbing it, so the pillow dries quickly after rain and gives mildew nowhere to start. You get multi-season color integrity and a fabric that won't rot when humidity climbs.

Do You Need to Bring This Pillow Inside After Every Rain?

No, the water-resistant construction sheds rain and dries fast, so occasional wet weather won't damage it. That said, prolonged saturation -- like sitting through a daylong storm or overnight downpour -- is best avoided by tossing the pillow under a covered porch or inside a deck box. For daily use on a covered patio or intermittent exposure, you can leave it out without worry. When you do want to clean the cover, the hidden zipper lets you pull it off and machine wash on gentle, then air dry before reassembling.

Where Should You Use a 22 x 22 Inch Outdoor Pillow?

This square pillow works on deep-seat sectionals, lounge chairs, porch swings, and dining benches where you want a single statement layer or a base for building a fuller outdoor pillow stack. The warm brown linen texture pairs cleanly with teak and aluminum frames, and it's dense enough to hold its shape on outdoor accent chairs without constant fluffing. Layer it with complementary textures in your broader outdoor accessories collection, or use it solo where a clean, unfussy look is the goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The solution-dyed polyester resists fade and mildew through spring and summer, but it's best to store the pillow indoors or in a sealed deck box over winter to protect the insert and extend the cover's lifespan.

Will the brown linen color fade in direct sun?

Solution-dyed fibers hold color significantly better than standard dyed fabrics and maintain integrity even in full-sun placements, though no outdoor fabric is completely immune to years of UV exposure.

How do I clean the cover?

Unzip the hidden zipper to remove the cover, then spot clean or machine wash on a gentle cycle and air dry before putting it back on the insert.

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

Yes, the polyester fiber resists moisture and won't corrode, making it a solid choice for coastal patios where salt air accelerates fabric breakdown on natural materials.

Can this pillow get rained on?

Yes, the water-resistant construction handles rain exposure and dries quickly, though you should avoid leaving it out during heavy or prolonged storms.

Does this ship fully assembled?

The pillow arrives with the cover and insert assembled and ready to use; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
