How to Pick Inserts of Fill For Throw Pillows
Fill Matters - Do you prioritize comfort or style? A feather-and-down fill has more "give" and a softer squish. Foam and other synthetic fills are stiffer. These pillows will hold their shape better but don't look and feel as luxurious. Eloise Trading Co.’s pillows come with a 95% feather / 5% down insert. You can also buy the cover only and find the right filler for you!

What’s the Perfect Insert? We would say it's a toss-up between down and down alternative. Down inserts, filled with feathers, are little cloud-like cuddle buddies. But, fair warning, they tend to molt around your home. When they feel a bit flat, they'll need a vigorous fluffing session to get their groove back.

Don’t Skimp on the Insert Size OR Quality Inserts sold at big-box retail stores are typically the same size as the cover. Take a 20x20 pillow — it comes with a matching 20x20 insert, leaving you with a pillow as flat as a pancake. Give that insert the heave-ho and replace it with something bigger from Eloise Trading Co. Size up 2-4 inches and watch your cushions go from “meh” to “wow.” Trust us, your pillow will thank you.
