Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a pillow weather resistant?

Weather-resistant pillows use synthetic fibers like polypropylene that repel water, dry quickly, and resist UV breakdown, unlike cotton or down.

Can outdoor pillows get rained on?

Yes -- this pillow's water-resistant polypropylene construction sheds rain and dries rapidly, though storing indoors during prolonged storms extends lifespan.

Do outdoor pillows fade in the sun?

Fade-resistant fabrics like polypropylene maintain color integrity under UV exposure, though all textiles benefit from occasional rotation and covered storage during off-season.

Is this UV resistant and does it fade in the sun?

Yes -- the 100% polypropylene fabric is engineered to resist UV damage and color fading in full sun conditions.

How do you clean outdoor throw pillows?

Unzip the cover, spot clean with mild soap and water, air dry flat; the removable insert allows thorough washing without damaging fill material.

What size lumbar pillow for an outdoor sofa?

A 22-inch lumbar pillow fits most standard outdoor sofas; for deeper seats (30+ inches), use two lumbar pillows or pair with larger square cushions.
