Custom Pillows

Throw pillows and decorative pillows are more than just an afterthought; they offer a unique opportunity to complete the look of any room. Whether you want to incorporate texture, add a pop of color, or just make a bed, couch, or chair more comfortable, custom pillows can help you achieve that goal.

Here’s what to consider when designing your custom pillows.

Custom Pillow Materials

Can you imagine leaning into a plush velvet pillow at the end of a long day? Or would you rather add some texture to a smooth leather couch with a few linen pillows? You have plenty of pillow cover materials to choose from, including these:

  • Cotton: Soft, durable, and hypoallergenic
  • Linen: Durable, moisture-wicking, and subtly textured
  • Velvet: Plush and luxurious
  • Polyester: Affordable and very strong
  • Chenille: Soft, cozy, and warm
  • Silk: Breathable and luxurious

Do you have another fabric in mind for your custom pillows? We can help with that, too!

Custom Shaped Pillows

We customize pillows in a variety of different shapes, but these are a few customer favorites.

Rectangular Pillows

If you want throw pillows that offer superior lumbar support, rectangular pillows are the way to go. These pillows blend comfort with functionality, and they also offer a larger canvas to showcase your chosen design.

Square Pillows

Square pillows are classic decorative pillows that also offer comfortable support. They are available in a range of different sizes and are easy to customize with neat piping, tassels, fringe, and other types of decorative edges.

Round Pillows

Round pillows add elegance to any style of decor. They work beautifully as the only pillows on a couch or chair, and they also can add some variety to a room that primarily has square or rectangular pillows.

Bolster Pillows

Bolster pillows are narrow and cylindrical. You might see a shorter bolster pillow at the end of a sofa or a longer one as a statement piece on a bed. They’re perfect for placing behind your neck as you lean back to read a book or enjoy a TV show.

Trim Options

The edges of your pillows help complete the look. Piping, a popular trim option, creates a neat, finished impression. You can choose contrasting piping for an even more defined edge. In contrast, fringe can create a relaxed, bohemian look, and you can also introduce a little luxury with corner tassels.

If you want to vary the textures in your living room or bedroom, you can choose to include multiple types of trim — even on the same piece of furniture.

Fill Options

With custom decorative pillows, your options for personalization don’t end with materials and shapes. Fill materials are commonly front of mind when choosing pillows for beds, but they shouldn’t be overlooked when you’re choosing decorative pillows. These are some of the fill materials we commonly work with.

Down

Down comes from the soft, warm under-feathers of geese, ducks, and other birds. Down filling is popular because it is exceptionally soft and moldable. However, its ability to hold heat might make your custom pillows uncomfortable in the summer, and if you’re allergic to feathers, it can activate allergy symptoms.

Polyfill

Polyfill (also called polyester fiber fill) is a very affordable option. It’s soft and fluffy, and it doesn’t cause allergy issues like down filling can. However, polyfill is also a common culprit behind lumpy pillows, so it may periodically need some adjustment.

Memory Foam

Memory foam has become an especially popular filling material in recent years. If you prefer a pillow filling that molds to the shape of your body, pillows filled with solid memory foam are a great option. However, if you would rather have something fluffier, shredded memory foam creates a similar feeling without sacrificing softness.
