A Guide to Throw Pillow Fillers

The right insert or filler is essential to a great looking decorative pillow.  In short, we recommend pillow fillers that are 2" larger than the throw pillow cover.  Read on for more considerations.

Types of Fillers:

Down Feather – Down fills are typically best as they’re all around loftier, and can be fluffed overtime to maintain their shape and volume.  The more down content there is in the feather/down ratio, the better!  We recommend Basic Brand available on Amazon.

Synthetic Down – Although synthetic down is technically still polyester fill, its composition is such that it mimics down’s lofty clusters, making it a great down stand-in for anyone with down allergies.  We recommend the Pillowflex brand available on Amazon at a great price.

Synthetic Spun Polyester – Synthetic fiberfill is generally a lesser quality insert as they flatten, lose their shape, and become lumpy overtime. 

Outdoor – Usually filled with water & mildew resistant acrylic or polyester fibers to hold up to the elements.
