Finding the Perfect Pillow Insert Size
Choosing the right pillow insert size can make or break your throw pillow game. At The Fluff Haus, we have crafted thousands of custom pillows in our Hickory, North Carolina workshop, and we have learned exactly what makes a pillow look plump, luxurious, and professionally styled.
The Golden Rule: Go 1-2 Inches Larger
The most important tip we can share: always choose an insert that is 1-2 inches larger than your pillow cover. This creates that coveted "full" look you see in designer homes and magazines.
For example:
- 18x18 inch cover â use a 20x20 inch insert
- 20x20 inch cover â use a 22x22 inch insert
- 12x20 lumbar cover â use a 14x22 inch insert
