Throw pillows are an excellent way to change up the look of your chairs, couches and beds as the seasons shift. They come in many sizes and designs, so there’s always something that connects with your sense of style.
In the fall, certain designs become more common — shades of orange, for example, and falling leaves. Halloween- and Thanksgiving-themed throw pillows can also be found in early and late fall, respectively.

When shopping for throw pillows online, you have to be vigilant as to what’s actually being sold because most brands are only selling throw pillow covers. It’s not easy to discern either, as some sellers bury this information in the listing. If you already have throw pillows, this isn’t much of an issue. If you’re getting them for the first time, it can be a rude surprise to open your box and only find a flap of material.
Other listings sell a throw pillow with a printed-on design, meaning you don’t need to use a cover. These typically cost the least, but they also tend to be the hardest to clean. They also need to be stored when it’s time to change your decorations, which takes up more space than changeable covers.
Most throw pillows are square and 16 by 16, 18 by 18 or 20 by 20 inches. Pillows on either side of these sizes are also available.
Additionally, some throw pillows are rectangular. A common size for these is 12 by 20 inches.
There are several methods of cleaning throw pillows. All can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth soaked in water and soap or by using a fabric cleaner. If you use a fabric cleaner, test it on a hidden spot. If it doesn’t strip the color or stain the pillow, you can use it on the rest.
Some throw pillows can simply be tossed in a washing machine. Before you do this, triple-check that your pillow is compatible with this method. If it isn’t, you’ll likely ruin the filling and permanently remove its fluffiness.
The easiest cleaning method is if it uses a throw pillow cover. With these, you just remove the cover and hand-wash or machine-wash it, depending on its needs.
Basic throw pillows that don’t use covers, throw pillows meant to be used with a cover and covers themselves typically cost less than $20. Better pillows and covers can cost up to $50. High-end pillows and covers can cost up to $100.
