Pillow Sizing & Styling Guide

The Insert​

 

For a professional look, your insert should be 2 inches larger than your pillow cover. 

FINISHED COVER SIZING:

24"x24" (Fits a 26x26 insert)

22" x 22" (Fits a 24x24 insert)
20" x 20" (Fits a 22x22 insert)

Lumbar covers are made 1" smaller so they fit the listed size.

Where to Buy Inserts

 

We recommend high-quality feather or down-alternative inserts to achieve the best shape and that "karate chop" look.

  • Our Top Pick: Nusso Textiles. They are a fantastic Canadian company that offers the same professional-grade inserts we use in our studio, available for retail purchase with no minimum order.

  • The Amazon Option: OTOSTAR is a reliable choice for high-quality inserts with the convenience of fast shipping.

  • The "Budget Style" Hack: For our 24" x 24" covers, the IKEA 26" x 26" feather insert (FJÄDRAR) is an incredible, cost-effective option that provides a full, high-end look.

The Sofa

The Layered Look: Start with a 22" x 22" in the back corner, layer a 20" x 20" in front, and finish with a 14" x 20" lumbar in the center.

 

The Minimalist: A single 22" x 22" on each end.​

 

Styling Your Space

The Sectional

The Corner Anchor: Sectionals have a lot of "dead space" in the corner. We recommend grouping three pillows here: One 22" x 22" paired with one 20" x 20", and a 14" x 20" lumbar tucked in front.

The Sides: Balance the other corners of the sectional with a 22" x 22" paired with a 20" x 20".​

 

The Bed

Queen/Full: Use two 22" x 22" squares against the headboard, finished with one 14" x 26" lumbar centered in front.

King: Use three 22" x 22" squares across the back, or two 24" x 24" paired with one 14" x 36" extra-long lumbar.​

 

The Accent Chair

A single 20" x 20" square or a 14" x 20" lumbar is all you need to add comfort and a pop of color to a side chair.

Why Our Construction Matters

Unlike mass-produced covers, Flock pillows are built for quality and longevity:

  • Heavyweight Linen-Cotton Backing: A substantial fabric blend that ensures your pillow keeps its shape and feels premium from every angle.

  • Luxury Brass Hardware: Exposed YKK zippers that act as jewelry for your room—durable, beautiful, and timeless.

  • Artisanal Durability: Every piece is handcrafted in our Nova Scotia studio, designed to be lived with, not just looked at.

​The Designer Secret: Invest once, swap forever. One of the best things about high-quality covers is that once you have your inserts, you can easily swap your covers out as the seasons change. Fold your off-season covers flat for easy storage and refresh your entire room in minutes without the bulk of storing full pillows!
