The 22″ Desert Night Camo Throw Pillow merges functional comfort with one of the most distinctive camouflage patterns ever produced. Originally developed by the United States in the early 1980s, Desert Night Camouflage was designed as an over-garment intended to obscure troops from Soviet-era night vision equipment during the Gulf War era. Its unique grid-like design of intersecting dark green lines over an olive background set it apart from any other camouflage of its time. While it was ultimately short-lived in military service, it has since become an iconic and collectible pattern, often appreciated for its rarity and experimental history.
This throw pillow adapts that same pattern into a modern, versatile home or workspace accent. Measuring a generous 22 inches, it provides both visual impact and practical comfort. The polyester case features a durable fabric with a linen-like texture, offering a premium feel while being easy to care for. A hidden zipper maintains clean lines, and the pre-shrunk material ensures reliable longevity after washes. The high-resolution print faithfully reproduces the grid structure of Desert Night Camouflage, maintaining sharp definition and contrast.
Inside, the shape-retaining polyester insert provides reliable support whether used on a sofa, chair, or bed. While the insert is best handwashed to preserve its resilience, the outer case can be machine-washed for everyday practicality.
By integrating a rare Cold War-era camouflage into a contemporary interior accessory, the Desert Night Camo Throw Pillow balances historical significance with everyday utility. It’s equally at home as a conversation piece for enthusiasts of military design or as a subtle tactical accent within a modern living space.

The Desert Night Camouflage is a specialized military pattern developed in the 1970s for nighttime desert operations. It features a distinctive grid design with irregular, pixelated shapes in shades of green and black against a dark background, mimicking natural shadows and terrain features under low-light conditions.
Originally created to counter night vision detection, this pattern was used by U.S. forces during the Gulf War. Its design helps disrupt the wearer’s outline, making it harder for enemy forces to detect them using night vision equipment in open desert landscapes.
