Elaine Smith “Dune Stripe” Lumbar Pillow Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elaine Smith “Dune Stripe” Lumbar Pillow and where is it best used?
The “Dune Stripe” lumbar pillow by Elaine Smith features crisp, clean cabana-style stripes in rich neutral tones (cream, taupe, charcoal) and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Ideal for lounge chairs, benches, outdoor sofas or daybeds—especially where you want a tailored yet weather-ready accent.
What materials and performance features does it include?
The pillow cover is made of solution-dyed acrylic performance fabric (Sunbrella® or equivalent), which is fade-, water- and stain-resistant—suitable for outdoor environments. It includes a sealed 100% polyester-fiber insert and a hidden (invisible) zipper for easy cover removal and cleaning. The manufacturer backs the fabric with a five-year warranty against loss of color, strength or abrasion in many cases.
What are the dimensions and how should I style it?
This lumbar pillow is approximately 12″ × 20″. Style tip: Use it on a neutral-base outdoor sofa (sand, ivory, drift-grey) or bench to introduce subtle structure. Pair with furniture frames in natural wood (teak/acacia), rattan, or matte black metal for contrast. Because the stripe palette is neutral yet dynamic, you can layer accent pillows in muted blues, greens, or burnt orange to elevate the look.
How do I clean and care for this pillow to maintain its appearance and lifespan?
Care instructions: Gently brush or shake off debris; address spills immediately. If cover removable: unzip and machine-wash cold or spot-clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse well and air-dry flat. Do not dry-clean or expose to high heat. To extend life, during prolonged severe weather or off season, store indoors or under cover.
Is the cover removable and are there warranty/return details?
Yes—the hidden zipper allows the cover to be removed. This pillow is made in the U.S.A. from premium materials. Warranty details vary by retailer; but the fabric often carries a five-year performance warranty under normal usage.
How does the “Dune Stripe” colorway integrate into outdoor décor schemes?
The neutral-tone stripe (cream, taupe, charcoal) offers a refined base that works across modern, coastal, transitional or resort-style outdoor settings. Use it to anchor seating with natural-wood or rattan furniture, neutral cushions, and accent it with pillows in muted teal, deep navy or burnt-orange for a subtle pop—while maintaining a cohesive styled feel.
