Outdoor Mccoy Lumbar Pillow

Details at a Glance

Standard indoor pillows deteriorate fast under sun and rain -- UV rays bleach the color, moisture breeds mildew, and fabrics lose their structure. This lumbar pillow is built with UV-treated polyester that holds its color and a water-resistant cover that sheds rain without trapping humidity. The D.V. Kap Outdoor McCoy Lumbar Pillow, a 24 x 12-inch fade-resistant outdoor lumbar pillow handcrafted in California, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does UV-Treated Polyester Stand Up to Months of Direct Sun?

The fabric is treated specifically to resist UV degradation, which is what causes untreated outdoor fabrics to fade from bright multicolor to washed-out pastels after a single season. The polyester blend maintains color vibrancy through repeated sun exposure while the water-resistant finish repels rain and spills without sealing the fabric -- it still breathes, so moisture doesn't get trapped inside to create mildew. The reinforced stitching holds up to the stress outdoor cushions face when furniture shifts in wind or gets dragged across decking.

Do You Have to Cover This Pillow Every Time It Rains?

The water-resistant treatment lets you leave it out through light rain and the occasional storm without damage. That said, bringing it indoors or under a roof during extended downpours or when you're not using the patio for a week will extend its lifespan -- no outdoor fabric is truly maintenance-free. The cover is machine washable, so if it does get soaked or picks up pollen and dirt, you can pull it off and clean it. Spot-clean the insert with mild soap and water rather than submerging it.

Where on the Patio Does a 24-Inch Lumbar Pillow Work Best?

Position it on lounge chairs, sectionals, or benches where you want lower back support -- the 24-inch width fits standard outdoor seating without crowding armrests. Layer it with coordinating outdoor pillows on deep-seat sectionals, or use it solo on a bench or porch swing. It also works on outdoor accent chairs if the seat is deep enough to hold a 12-inch pillow without pushing you forward. Pair with other pieces from our outdoor accessories collection to pull together a cohesive look across your deck or patio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The water-resistant cover and UV-treated fabric handle sun and rain, but bringing it indoors or into storage during severe weather and off-season will keep it looking new longer.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

UV-treated polyester resists fading far better than untreated materials, maintaining its multicolor pattern through multiple seasons of direct sun exposure.

How do I store it over winter?

Clean the cover, let it dry completely, and store the pillow in a dry indoor space or a sealed outdoor storage bin to prevent moisture buildup during months of non-use.

Is the cover really machine washable?

Yes -- the removable cover is machine washable, and you should spot-clean the insert with mild soap and water rather than submerging it.

What size outdoor sofa does this fit?

The 24 x 12-inch dimensions provide targeted lower back support for standard outdoor seating, sitting 2 to 4 inches above the seat level to fill the natural curve of your lower back.

Does this ship assembled?

Yes, it arrives ready to use with no assembly required, and LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA.
