Elaine Smith “Gobi Sand” 12″ × 20″ Lumbar Outdoor Pillow Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elaine Smith “Gobi Sand” 12″ × 20″ Lumbar Outdoor Pillow and where is it best used?
The “Gobi Sand” lumbar pillow by Elaine Smith features a warm sandy neutral tone inspired by desert landscapes. With its 12″ × 20″ size and outdoor-rated design, it’s ideal for accenting lounge chairs, outdoor sofas, benches, day-beds or covered patio settings where you want both style and comfort.
What materials and performance features does it include?
This pillow uses solution-dyed acrylic performance fabric which is fade-, water- and stain-resistant—making it suitable for outdoor use. The fill is a sealed insert of 100% polyester fiber. A hidden zipper allows the cover to be removed for cleaning.
What are the dimensions and how should I style it?
Dimensions: approx. 12″ high × 20″ wide (lumbar shape). Style tip: Place this pillow on a neutral-cushioned outdoor sofa (ivory, sand, drift-grey) or bench, and let the “Gobi Sand” tone anchor the palette. Pair with furniture frames in teak/acacia, rattan or matte-black/charcoal metal. To elevate the look, layer additional accent pillows in shades like muted teal, rust, charcoal or soft cream.
How do I clean and care for this pillow to maintain its appearance and lifespan?
Routine care: Brush off or shake loose debris. For spot cleaning: use mild soap and lukewarm water; rinse thoroughly and air-dry flat. The cover is removable (hidden zipper); machine wash cold or spot clean depending on label. Avoid high heat, dry-cleaning or prolonged exposure when not under cover. Indoor storage or covering during extended off-season is recommended.
Is the cover removable and what about warranty/returns?
Yes: The hidden-zipper design allows the cover to be removed for cleaning. The pillow is made in the USA. Warranty/return policies vary by retailer; check the purchase terms at checkout.
How does the “Gobi Sand” colorway integrate into outdoor décor schemes?
The sandy-neutral hue offers a warm, versatile foundation that complements many outdoor furniture finishes—especially natural wood, rattan or charcoal-metal. Use this pillow to anchor and calm a seating area, then bring in accent pillows or throws in richer hues (teal, navy, burnt-orange) for layered interest. The size and shape also work well in pairs to flank seating or as a counterbalance on a bench.
