These foam pillow inserts are designed especially for seat cushions, seat backs and bolsters. These inserts keep their shape perfectly and provide a clean, crisp appearance to cushions in any room.

When paired with an outdoor rated fabric, this insert allows for adding decorative accents, in the way of throw pillows, to all kinds of outdoor seating areas; without the worry about mildew, mold or wetness.

Premium Fill Insert

This insert, constructed with siliconized micro denier fill inside a 100% cotton cover, is a premium option. Designed to emphasize plushness and comfort this insert is softer and heavier than a standard insert. Its’ commonly used in areas where comfort is viewed as premium.

Natural Fill Insert

Caring for Your Insert

For desirable results, it is advisable to dry clean your foam pillow inserts. If you have concerns about dust mites, just seal your insert in a plastic bag; and place it in the freezer for a couple of days. If you only want to fluff or freshen your inserts, put them in the dryer on “air only” (no heat) alongside one or two tennis balls for a cycle.

As you refurbish your space or schedule your next home decor project, never underestimate the importance of pillow inserts. With the right mix of pillow insert size and material, you’ll cook up a cozy and inviting atmosphere that symbolizes your unique style and taste.
