Throws & Pillows FAQs
What exactly is a throw?
A throw is a small, lightweight blanket used primarily for decoration and comfort. Typically, throw blankets are placed on sofas, chairs, or beds as decorative accents, but they're also perfect for keeping cozy when relaxing.
Expert Tip: For a designer look, drape throws diagonally across one corner of your sofa rather than folding them neatly. Choose throws with 10-12% viscose or linen content for beautiful drape without excessive wrinkling.
What type of pillow is best?
The best pillow depends on personal preference and use. For sleeping, memory foam pillows offer excellent support. For decorative purposes, softer, plush pillows filled with down, synthetic fiber, or feather blends are popular choices.
Expert Tip: Invest in two sets of pillows - supportive memory foam for sleeping and plush down-alternative for daytime use. Store decorative pillows in a nearby basket or bench for easy access when guests visit.
What is a blanket called?
A blanket is a large piece of fabric intended to provide warmth. There are many types, including throw blankets (smaller decorative blankets), comforters, quilts, duvets, and electric blankets.
Expert Tip: Layer different blanket types for both style and function - start with a lightweight throw, add a mid-weight quilt, then top with a chunky knit for visual texture and temperature options.
What is the purpose of a throw blanket?
Throw blankets primarily serve decorative and functional purposes. Decoratively, throws add texture, color, and style to a room. Functionally, they're perfect for casual comfort, allowing easy access when you need warmth while lounging.
Expert Tip: Rotate throws seasonally - lightweight cotton or linen for summer, chunky wool or cashmere blends for winter. This keeps your space feeling fresh while providing appropriate warmth.
How many decorative pillows should be on a couch?
Typically, three to five decorative pillows are recommended for an average-sized couch. Odd numbers are visually appealing and create a balanced, inviting appearance.
Expert Tip: Use the "3-2-1" formula for perfect pillow arrangement: 3 large (22"), 2 medium (18"), and 1 small (14") pillow. Mix patterns and textures within a cohesive color scheme.
Which pillow material is best for sleeping?
Memory foam and latex are considered the best materials for sleeping pillows. Memory foam pillows contour to your head and neck, providing excellent support. Latex pillows offer durability, breathability, and good neck alignment.
Expert Tip: Look for memory foam with gel infusion or ventilation holes to prevent heat buildup. For latex, choose 100% natural Talalay for the best comfort and longevity.
What are the different types of pillow sizes?
Common pillow sizes include:
Standard: 20" x 26"
Queen: 20" x 30"
King: 20" x 36"
Euro (Square): Typically 26" x 26"
Decorative or Throw Pillows: Often 18" x 18" or 20" x 20"
Expert Tip: Use Euro pillows (26" square) as a backrest against your sofa arms - they provide excellent lumbar support while looking polished.
What is the best pillow filling for sleeping?
Memory foam, down alternative, and latex fillings are excellent for sleeping. Memory foam pillows offer contouring support and pressure relief. Down alternative is hypoallergenic and affordable. Latex pillows provide consistent support, breathability, and resilience.
Expert Tip: For combination sleepers, choose a shredded memory foam pillow that can be adjusted for different positions throughout the night.
Which shape of pillow is best?
Rectangular pillows (standard, queen, or king-sized) are best for sleeping. Ergonomic shapes, such as contoured or cervical pillows (often called neck support pillows), offer targeted neck and spine alignment.
Expert Tip: Contoured pillows work best when properly aligned - the higher curve should support your neck, not your head, with your head resting in the lower indentation.
How do I know what weight pillow to buy?
Pillow weight depends on your comfort and sleeping style. Lightweight pillows are good for stomach sleepers who prefer a flatter surface. Medium to heavy pillows offer greater support and firmness, ideal for back and side sleepers.
Expert Tip: Your pillow weight should keep your head and neck aligned with your spine - when lying on your side, your nose should point straight forward, not up or down.
What is a neck support pillow called?
A neck support pillow is commonly known as a cervical pillow. It's specifically designed to maintain proper spinal alignment by supporting the natural curvature of your neck.
Expert Tip: Test cervical pillows for at least 2 weeks to adjust - the first few nights may feel unusual as your muscles adapt to proper alignment.
