The broad color stripes on this pillow (we got teal and white) make it "pop" and stand out.  It matches one of the tables on our patio which is why we decided to get it.  The material is a polyester blend and SO soft!  The fact the pillow covering is washable makes it a winner in our book.  In fact, someone a few houses down on our street as the yellow and white striped version.  We would purchase again; give it a try, you'll love it!
