Will Cotton Hold Up to Sun and Moisture on a Covered Patio?
Cotton resists UV fade reasonably well under a roof or umbrella, though direct sun all day will lighten any natural fiber over time. This pillow's embroidered detailing -- raised stitching that gives the tomato vine texture -- won't flatten or peel the way printed graphics do when fabric gets damp and dries repeatedly. The knife-edge construction (no welt or cord) means fewer seams to trap moisture if the pillow gets caught in a sudden shower. You're looking at a material that breathes, so mildew is less likely than with vinyl or foam-backed covers, but cotton isn't engineered to stay out year-round in rain or snow.Do You Need to Store It Indoors Over Winter?
Yes. Bring this pillow inside or into a dry shed once overnight temps drop and frost becomes regular. Cotton wicks moisture, so freeze-thaw cycles will stiffen the fabric and can split seams or fade the embroidery. The hidden zipper on the back lets you pull the insert, machine-wash the cover in cold water on gentle, tumble-dry it low, and store both pieces flat in a bin until spring. A quick wash before storage keeps pollen and UV-weakened fibers from setting stains over the off-season.Where Does This Pillow Work Best on a Patio or Deck?
The 26-inch length fits the back of a standard outdoor loveseat or daybed, and the farm-market tomato embroidery pairs well with natural teak or wicker in our [outdoor pillows](/collections/outdoor-pillows) collection. Layering two or three accent pillows -- one lumbar, one or two square -- on a deep-seat sectional gives you the mix of support and color that makes the space feel finished without looking like you matched a set.

- Can this pillow stay outside all year?
- No -- cotton absorbs moisture, so you'll want to bring it in before the first frost and store it dry over winter.
- Will the embroidered design fade in direct sun?
- Under a roof or umbrella the colors stay vivid for seasons; full sun all day will gradually lighten ivory and red tones like any natural fiber does.
- How do I clean the cover?
- Unzip the back, pull the insert, and machine-wash the cover cold on gentle. Tumble dry low and press with a warm iron if needed.
- Is the insert included, or do I buy it separately?
- The insert ships with the pillow -- you get the complete piece ready to use.
- Will this work in a salty coastal area?
- Cotton tolerates salt air better than metal-trimmed pillows do, but you'll still want to rinse the cover monthly if ocean spray reaches your porch and store it indoors when humidity spikes.
- What's the shipping policy?
- Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; the pillow ships complete with its insert, no assembly required.
