Best Pillow Inserts – Our Top Picks

If you’re searching for a high-quality decorative pillow insert, look no further than Pillowflex. This down-alternative option is filled with extremely plush poly fibers that manage to mimic the loftiness of natural down perfectly—if not better.

The 100% cotton-poly shell exterior lets you feel the smoothness and weight of the fill, so you don’t have to worry about any pesky feathers poking through. This pillow will keep its shape perfectly, making it ideal for achieving that much sought-after hand-chop indentation. The core is also supportively soft for an enjoyable nap on the couch.

With 50 different size options, including squares and rectangles, this insert is bound to fit the cover you have in mind. The prices for the larger sizes are a bit high, but overall the price range is fair. Plus, it’s machine-washable, which is always convenient.

Utopia Bedding is a great, budget-friendly option for anyone. This set of two siliconized fiber inserts comes in 10 different sizes, ranging from 12 to 24 inches. They’re light and lofty, making them a great alternative to natural down bedding.

Your pillows will be sent to you compressed. Make sure to shake them out and fluff them regularly for a full shape. They’re not machine-washable, but spot-cleaning is possible as needed.

Williams Sonoma offers a comfy pillow insert made with 100 percent white duck feathers if you’re looking for the real thing. It’s also sourced from fowl certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), so you can be sure their treatment was ethical.

This Pillow Insert’s shell is made of cotton twill from BCI farms. It comes in four sizes–three squares and one rectangle. Be sure to use a commercial front-loading washer to machine-wash it.

The Coyuchi pillow is fluffy due to the 90/10 ratio of duck feathers to natural down fibers. Still, it’s also compact enough to fill out a decorative cover.

Although it’s not RDS-certified, all down-filled products from Coyuchi come from one U.S.-based supplier that practices humane farming methods and appreciates that this insert has an organic cotton shell too. Even though it might be costly upfront, you’ll need help finding something comparable in terms of quality.

Keep cozy during winter and cool during summer nights with these pillow inserts from Acanva. The inserts come in vacuum packaging, which might take a few hours to fluff up.

The material is silky and has a dense, gel-like feel that is perfect–not too heavy and not too light. It fits shams easily but because the fit it snug, stuffing it in might be difficult. You can’t machine wash it, but you won’t need to as often as your bed pillows if you only use this insert for decoration.
