Outdoor Bolster Pillows

1 product

Outdoor bolster pillows

A bolster is the long, narrow shape that fills the gap a square cannot. At 20" x 14" it runs along the back of a bench or the length of a deep seat, giving support where a square would just perch.

Made from 100% spun polyester, UV-resistant and water-resistant, printed on both sides with a sewn seam closure and a fill sturdy enough to hold the shape.

Bolster or lumbar

In practice the two words are used for the same thing outdoors, and both describe a rectangular pillow rather than a square. If you are searching for either, these are what you want. The shape is what matters: long, low, and made to sit behind your back rather than beside it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a bolster and a lumbar pillow?

Outdoors the terms are used interchangeably for a rectangular pillow. Strictly, a bolster is cylindrical and a lumbar is flat and rectangular, but almost no outdoor range makes that distinction.

What size are they?

20" x 14", which fits the majority of outdoor benches, sofas and deep chairs.

Can I use one on a bench?

That is where the shape works best. A single bolster centred on a bench looks finished where two squares would look crowded.
