Choosing the right pillows for your couch should be carefully done. When choosing pillows decide if you want pillows just for decoration or they need to be functional for back support and comfort. There are a wide variety of pillows available in the market today. It depends on the design, color, size, and the materials it is made of. The pattern and design is up to you and choosing a material can be just as easy to choose from.
To give you some ideas on the popular pillows for your couch, here are some materials preferred by many people:
Faux Suede
A very soft material and perfect for throw pillows. If you have children and pets, this material fits your situation. Faux suede is very durable and easy to clean. It has better resistance to scratches and dirt.
Polyester Pillow
It is one of the bestsellers among other materials. It is made of synthetic fillings that is relatively cheap and can be washed easily. It is more durable than other types of pillow materials. There is also polyester pillow that has polyester gel inside to add comfort. But this kind is not saleable since it emits a chemical odor. Be aware that polyester absorbs sweat, facial oils and dust. This is why regular cleanups should be done regularly.

Tapestry Throw Pillow
Tapestry is a textile art which is traditionally woven. It gives accent to the pillow since it will be covered tapestry. This makes it more unique and stylish as compared with other materials.
Accent Pillow
It is like adding a statement without saying anything. It has more effect if you try to follow the “less is more” approach and then accessorize your pillow. This type provides a more personal aesthetic to your couch and can be simple, ornate, or a mixture of both.
