Outdoor Lozenge Pillow

Details at a Glance

When outdoor fabric is surface-dyed, the first season of sun and rain strips the pigment right out, leaving you with a faded pillow by September. The D.V. Kap Outdoor Lozenge Pillow uses solution-dyed polyester that locks color into the fiber itself, so it holds up to UV rays, rain, and humidity season after season. This 22-inch weather-resistant outdoor pillow is handcrafted in California and available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Solution-Dyed Polyester Hold Up to Full Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed polyester is fade resistant because the pigment is mixed into the molten fiber before it's spun, not applied to the surface afterward. That means UV exposure won't bleach the color, and rain won't wash it out. This pillow's fabric is also water resistant and mildew resistant -- it dries quickly after a storm and doesn't trap moisture the way untreated cotton or linen would. You're looking at a pillow that keeps its black finish through multiple summers of direct sun exposure without the washed-out look that hits cheaper outdoor textiles by mid-season.

Do You Need to Bring This Inside During a Storm?

The fabric sheds rain and dries fast, so a passing shower won't hurt it. That said, bringing it under cover during heavy storms or off-season extends its life -- even weather-resistant materials benefit from a break. The hidden zipper closure makes it easy to pull the cover off and toss it in the wash if it picks up pollen, dust, or salt spray. Spot clean as needed, or machine wash the cover following the care label when it's time for a deeper refresh.

Where Does a 22-Inch Outdoor Pillow Work Best?

This size fits standard deep-seating furniture -- sectionals, lounge chairs, porch swings -- without overwhelming smaller frames. Pair it with coordinating pieces from our outdoor pillows collection to layer pattern and texture, or use it solo on outdoor accent chairs for a clean, monochromatic look. It also anchors covered-porch setups where you're mixing outdoor accessories with indoor-style comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all year?

The solution-dyed polyester resists fading and mildew, but storing it indoors or under a deck box during the off-season protects the fabric from prolonged freeze-thaw cycles and extends its lifespan.

Will the black finish fade in direct sun?

No -- solution-dyed polyester locks pigment into the fiber, so this pillow holds its color even in full-sun conditions over multiple seasons.

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

Yes -- the water-resistant, mildew-resistant fabric handles salt spray and humidity, though rinsing the cover occasionally helps prevent salt buildup.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- this pillow's polyester construction sheds water and dries quickly, though bringing it under cover during heavy downpours prolongs its life.

How do you clean solution-dyed outdoor pillows?

Unzip the hidden closure, remove the cover, and machine wash it per the care label, or spot clean as needed. The removable insert stays fresh when you launder the cover regularly.

Does this ship assembled, and is delivery free?

The pillow arrives complete and ready to use. Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free; white-glove services are available for an additional fee upon request.
