Full Specifications

What Is an Outdoor Pillow?

An outdoor pillow is a decorative cushion engineered with weather resistant fabrics -- typically solution-dyed acrylic or polyester -- that withstand UV exposure, rain, humidity, and temperature swings without fading, mildewing, or deteriorating. Unlike indoor pillows, outdoor throw pillows feature quick-drying fills and covers designed to remain outdoors through seasonal use.

What You Get With the D.V. Kap Outdoor Pyke Pillow

1. Solution-Dyed Polyester Construction -- the fabric is dyed before fiber extrusion, locking color into the material for superior fade resistance even in full sun.
2. Water Resistant Performance -- repels rain and moisture, allowing the pillow to dry quickly and resist mildew growth on porches, patios, and poolside furniture.
3. Hidden Zipper & Removable Cover -- clean cover maintains a seamless look while the insert can be removed for easy washing and seasonal storage.
4. Handcrafted in California -- each pillow is hand-cut and sewn to order in the USA, ensuring quality construction and supporting domestic manufacturing.
5. 22x22 Square Size -- a versatile dimension that fits standard outdoor lounge chairs, sofas, benches, and porch swings.
6. Vibrant Red Color -- adds a bold accent to neutral outdoor furniture while the fade resistant fabric preserves the hue season after season.

Where Should You Use Weather Resistant Outdoor Pillows?

Pair this fade resistant outdoor pillow with complementary textures from LOOMLAN's outdoor pillows collection to create layered seating on sectionals, Adirondack chairs, or daybeds. The water resistant cover makes it ideal for uncovered porches or poolside loungers, and the square shape anchors corner seating in living room furniture arrangements extended to outdoor patios.
