Outdoor Pillows FAQ

Have questions about outdoor pillows? This Ashley FAQ provides concise information on care, cleaning methods, and storage solutions to ensure long-lasting durability. Whether you are replacing old cushions or outfitting new patio furniture, understanding these manufacturing differences ensures you select products that offer both longevity and comfort. Discover expert tips to keep your outdoor pillows looking fresh and performing well season after season.

Are outdoor pillows different than indoor pillows?

The answer is yes. Though they look similar, outdoor pillows are specifically made to handle weather exposure.

Outdoor pillows differ in three main ways:

Fabric Composition and Treatment

Outdoor pillow cases use durable synthetic fabrics such as acrylic, polyester, or olefin. These materials resist moisture and are often treated to let water bead and roll off instead of soaking in.

Internal Fill and Drainage Mechanisms

Indoor pillow inserts, like down or memory foam, absorb water and dry slowly. In contrast, outdoor pillows use reticulated foam or treated polyester filling, both of which drain quickly and resist moisture buildup.

Hardware and Thread Specifications

Outdoor pillows are stitched with UV-resistant thread and often feature marine-grade plastic or rust-proof zippers to prevent damage from sun and rain.

In summary, outdoor pillows are made to be durable, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain, ideal for outdoor spaces, unlike indoor pillows, which are not built for the elements.

Can indoor pillows be used outdoors?

The answer is no in short, indoor pillows are not made for outdoor conditions and will quickly become damaged. Here's why:

The Consequences of Exterior Exposure

Standard cotton or linen pillows start to break down quickly outside. Indoor fabrics absorb humidity and can feel damp without even getting rained on. If wet, their filling like down or foam, holds moisture. Sunlight is equally damaging, as these fabrics don't have UV protection, causing fast fading and deterioration.

Moisture leads to mold and mildew, which leaves stains and a musty odor in just a few days. Most indoor pillows can't be restored after this happens.

The dyes in indoor fabrics also fade rapidly in sunlight, making colors look dull within days.

How to clean outdoor pillows?

You can clean your outdoor pillows by following these essential steps:

  • Brush away loose dirt and debris
  • Scrub stains with mild soap
  • Rinse thoroughly
  • Air-dry pillows upright
  • Regularly remove pollen and debris
Always check manufacturer's care instructions before washing.

How long do outdoor pillows typically last?

Outdoor pillows typically last between two to five years, depending on the quality of materials and how well they are cared for. High-quality, weather-resistant pillows with UV- and water-resistant fabrics will retain their color and comfort longer, especially if stored during harsh weather and cleaned regularly. If durability and longevity are priorities, look for outdoor pillows specifically designed to resist fading, mildew, and moisture.

Ashley's outdoor pillows are made with durable, all-weather fabrics engineered to resist fading, moisture, and mildew, ensuring long-lasting use and easy maintenance.

How to choose the best outdoor pillows?

Navigating patio decor options requires careful attention to size, material quality, and trusted manufacturers. Use these tips to make smart selections and upgrade your outdoor space.

Sizing and Proportions: What Size Should Outdoor Pillows Be?

The right pillow size keeps your outdoor furniture balanced and comfortable. Outdoor sofas and deep loveseats often need 20x20-inch or 22x22-inch pillows to anchor corners and support your back. For lounge or club chairs, choose 18x18-inch pillows. Larger pillows on these chairs can feel awkward and may push you forward on the seat.

What to look for when buying outdoor cushions?

Check these features before buying:

  • Fabric: Choose solution-dyed acrylic or olefin for sunny spots; spun polyester only for shaded areas.
  • Zippers: Look for removable covers with hidden zippers. Avoid sewn-shut (knife-edge) pillows, which are hard to clean and slow to dry.
  • Removable Covers: Removable covers make cleaning easier and help your inserts last longer.

Who makes the best outdoor pillows?

The best outdoor pillows use high-performance fabrics designed to withstand the elements. Ashley offers outdoor pillows made with durable materials that resist fading, moisture, and everyday wear, ensuring long-lasting comfort and style for your patio or outdoor space. Always check the fabric tag to confirm quality and care instructions. In addition to outdoor pillows, Ashley also features a wide selection of patio accessories along with outdoor rugs, and outdoor lighting making it easy to complete your patio setup with durable, stylish, and weather-resistant essentials.

Can outdoor pillows get wet?

Yes, outdoor pillows can get wet, but the level of water resistance depends on their material and construction. Many outdoor pillows are made with water-repellent fabrics and quick-drying fillers designed to withstand rain and moisture. However, for best longevity and to prevent issues like mold or fading, it's recommended to store them in a dry place when not in use or after heavy rainfall. Always check the product details to ensure your pillows are suitable for all-weather exposure.

How to keep outdoor pillows from blowing away?

To prevent outdoor pillows from blowing away, use tie-downs, Velcro straps, or weighted pillow inserts to secure them to your furniture. You can also store pillows indoors during strong winds or consider clip-on pillow holders designed for outdoor use. These solutions help keep your pillows in place and protect your outdoor space from frequent setup hassles.
