Bentley Woven Pillow Cover

There’s no fixed rule, it depends on your style and bed size. For a queen bed, 2 to 4 throw pillows are usually ideal. For a king bed, 4 to 6 throw pillows can make it look fuller and balanced. You can go minimal or maximal; both look great when styled with intent.

Start with your sleeping pillows propped upright at the back. Then, layer in your larger square pillows, followed by medium-sized cushions. Finish with smaller throw pillows or a lumbar pillow in front. You can mix sizes and textures but keep symmetry or balance in mind if you want a tidy look.

Throw pillows themselves can last for 5 to 10 years depending on usage and quality. Pillow covers, especially printed cotton and linen, may begin to fade after 3–5 years, particularly with frequent washing. Regular care can help them last longer.

There are many ways! Typically, use 2–5 throw pillows, arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically. Layer different sizes and mix solid colors with prints for contrast. You can drape a throw casually over one armrest or neatly fold it along the backrest, both add charm and softness.

Start with your room’s color palette. Pick pillows that complement or contrast your decor. Consider textures (like velvet, cotton, or knits) and choose between bold prints or subtle patterns. The right throw pillow can serve as a color accent, style enhancer, or even a seasonal refresh for your space.

Throw pillows are measured by the dimensions of the cover, not the insert. For example, a pillow labeled 18x18 inches refers to the size of the cover. Inserts are typically the same size for a tight fit, or slightly smaller (about 0.5 inches) if you prefer a softer, slouchier look.

Throw pillows are filled with inserts, which may be made of polyester, foam, or feather blends. The firmness depends on the fill and the size of the insert relative to the cover. Tighter inserts give a firm, full look, while slightly smaller ones offer a relaxed, plush feel.

Throw pillows serve both functional and decorative purposes. They provide extra comfort for lounging and add visual interest to beds, sofas, or chairs. Think of them as the finishing touch that ties together your interior style ,whether it’s cozy, bold, minimalist, or eclectic.
