How does this pillow fit into outdoor seating arrangements?
A 22-inch square fits most lounge chairs, benches, and sectional seats, offering lumbar support or a soft backrest. The red café stripe pairs well with neutral wicker, teak, or aluminum frames common across outdoor accent chairs and coordinating pieces in the all outdoor collection. Because the cover is removable, you can clean or swap inserts as needed while the acrylic shell dries quickly after a rinse.
Why choose solution-dyed acrylic for exterior cushions?
Unlike surface-printed fabrics, solution-dyeing saturates the fiber before it is woven, so color runs through the entire strand rather than sitting on top. That construction means UV rays cannot bleach pigment away as easily, and moisture wicks through without causing mildew stains. This pillow is hand-cut and sewn in California, ensuring each piece meets strict tolerances for seam strength and zipper alignment -- details that matter when cushions stay outdoors through multiple seasons.

- The cushion measures 22 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 22 inches high, weighing 4 pounds with the insert.
- Is the fabric truly fade resistant in full sun?
- Yes, the 100% solution-dyed acrylic fibers are dyed before weaving, making them significantly more resistant to UV fading than surface-printed textiles.

- Yes, a hidden zipper allows you to remove both the cover and the insert separately for cleaning or seasonal storage.
