About Throw Pillows
Pillows That Refresh a Room in Minutes
Pillows are the fastest way to change a sofa or bed without buying new furniture. A new set of covers can shift a room from summer bright to winter cozy in the time it takes to zip them on. Our range is mostly covers and cases: corduroy, chenille, waffle knit, plush tufted and striped velvet pillow covers, boho tassel designs, flower shaped plush pillows, mulberry silk pillowcases, fleece winter cases, fluffy pillow shams and waterproof pillow protectors.
Choosing Covers and Inserts
- Size the insert up: An insert 1 to 2 inches larger than the cover fills the corners and looks plump. A 17.7 inch cover looks full with an 18 or 20 inch insert. Many listings here are covers only, so confirm whether a filler comes with yours before you order.
- Mix textures: Pair a smooth fabric like velvet or silk with a nubby one like corduroy, chenille or knit. Texture keeps a set of solid colors from looking flat.
- Sofa or bed: Decorative covers dress the sofa. For sleeping, silk pillowcases in standard sizes feel smooth against skin and hair, and a waterproof protector underneath guards the pillow.
- Easy care: Zippered covers come off for washing. Wash silk cold on a delicate cycle inside a mesh bag and let it air dry.
Styling tip: On a standard sofa, place two larger square pillows at each end and a smaller or differently shaped one in front of them. Repeat one color across every cover so the mix of patterns feels planned.
Finish the sofa with a knit or fleece throw from throw blankets.
Common Questions About Throw Pillows

Momme is a weight measure for silk fabric, and a higher number means a denser, heavier weave. Our range includes 25 momme mulberry silk, which is heavier than many everyday silk cases.
It sits under your pillowcase and shields the pillow from sweat, spills and stains, which helps it last longer. The zipper closes it fully, and the protector is much easier to wash than the pillow itself.
