Frequently Asked Questions
What makes outdoor pillows different from indoor pillows?
Outdoor pillows are specifically designed for exterior use with UV-resistant fabrics that won't fade in sunlight, water-resistant or quick-dry materials that shed moisture, and mildew-resistant treatments that prevent mold growth. They feature solution-dyed acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella or performance polyester that maintain vibrant colors and soft textures through sun, rain, and temperature changes. Indoor pillows lack these protective features and will deteriorate quickly outdoors.
Are outdoor pillows weather-resistant?
Yes! Our outdoor pillows feature weather-resistant fabrics and fills designed to withstand outdoor conditions. The covers resist UV fading, repel water and stains, and resist mildew. Quick-dry foam or polyester fills shed moisture and dry rapidly after rain. While durable, we recommend bringing pillows indoors during extreme weather, storing them when not in use for extended periods, or using weatherproof storage containers to maximize their lifespan.
What sizes and styles of outdoor pillows are available?
Our outdoor pillows collection includes various sizes from small accent pillows (12x12 or 16x16 inches) to large statement pillows (24x24 inches) and lumbar pillows (12x20 or 14x24 inches) for back support. Styles range from modern geometric patterns and coastal stripes to solid colors, tropical prints, bohemian designs, and textured weaves. Mix sizes and patterns on your outdoor seating for layered, designer-worthy style.
How do I style outdoor pillows?
Layer pillows in odd numbers (3, 5, or 7) for visual interest. Mix sizes—place larger pillows in back corners, medium pillows in front, and lumbar pillows for support. Combine patterns and solids—use the 60-30-10 rule (60% solid, 30% pattern, 10% accent). Coordinate colors with your outdoor decorative accessories. For outdoor sofas, use 4-6 pillows; for chairs, 1-2 pillows work well.
How do I clean outdoor pillows?
Most outdoor pillow covers are removable and machine washable—check care labels for specific instructions. For spot cleaning, use mild soap and water, scrub gently, and rinse thoroughly. Hose down pillows periodically to remove pollen and dust. Air dry completely before returning to furniture—never put in the dryer as heat can damage weather-resistant treatments. For stubborn stains, use a solution of bleach and water (1:4 ratio) on white or colorfast fabrics.
Should I bring outdoor pillows inside when it rains?
While outdoor pillows are designed to handle moisture, bringing them inside during heavy rain extends their life. Quick-dry fills shed water and dry rapidly, but repeated soaking can eventually lead to mildew or deterioration. For convenience, store pillows in weatherproof deck boxes or storage containers when not in use. During mild showers, they'll be fine. For extended rainy periods or when you're away, store them indoors or in covered storage.
