Pillow inserts make decorating a section of a home that much easier.  But what are pillow inserts?  Pillow inserts is an industry term that really just means pillows – pillows which are still encased in their original, plain and drab covers.  These are meant to be inserted into pillow covers of different materials and designs.  This allows the pillow inserts to be ‘dressed up’ to suit different user preferences as to materials and design.  Once the user has chosen the desired size, shape, and consistency, the final touch is given by whatever pillow cover is used.

As to the types of uses, there are many.  Pillow inserts are used for square throw pillows.  They are also used mainly for bed pillows of different sizes and shapes.  Some pillow inserts are used as display pillows meant to showcase needlework covers.  They can be used to replace or just add a level of softness to couch backs.  Many pillow inserts are used for floor pillows for when people are lounging in living rooms with their close family and friends.  Some pillow inserts are made in special shapes.  These pillow inserts are normally intended to serve more like soft toys than just pillows.  These pillows can be shaped as spheres, cubes, tubes, or even to resemble animals.

One specialized type of use is for outdoors.  This requires the pillow filling to be able to drain quickly.  These types of pillows are sometimes paired with wet-resistant covers in order to prevent deterioration and the growth of mold and mildew. A synthetic pillow filling which is inherently inhospitable to mold, mildew and parasites is preferred for this application; a filling made of Dacron material would fit the bill.

Pillow inserts can have very different types of filling.  People who want extremely soft pillows prefer pillow inserts with down filling.  Even down filling is categorized into different levels of quality and softness which depends on the ratio of the expensive down with other types of fowl feathers.  There are also many types of synthetic fillings now available which are offered in varying degrees of softness and resiliency.  One advantage of synthetic over organic filling is the homogeneity; they are usually of very uniform consistency throughout and spring back to shape better.  Some types synthetic filling are designed to drain faster for outdoor applications.  Members of associations such as the Business + Institutional Furnishings Manufacturers Association are experts at determining the best filling for each application.
