Small pieces. A considered finish.

Custom pillows & bolsters

A pillow can bring a color into the room, soften a corner or make a favorite chair feel more inviting. Craig’s makes decorative pillow and bolster covers and considers the filling with the fit. Start with the shape and fullness you want, then choose the fabric, seams and finishing details that bring the group together.

SEE THE POSSIBILITIES

Shape, cover and filling work together.

The outside dimensions are only one part of the brief.

Choose the shape

Square, rectangular, cylindrical and floor-pillow forms create different proportions. Show where each piece will sit and how many you want.

Set the fullness

The cover and insert need to be considered together. Describe whether you want a soft, relaxed shape or a fuller, more structured appearance.

Finish the edge

A plain seam, flange or piped edge changes the outline. Pattern placement and the cover opening belong in the same discussion.

A PLAN FOR YOUR PIECE

The details make the difference.

Work from the finished shape

Give the shape, approximate finished dimensions and quantity for each pillow or bolster. Existing covers and inserts can be useful references, especially when the new pieces need to fit an established arrangement.

Bring cover and insert together

You may want fresh covers for suitable inserts, new filling inside covers you love, or both. The existing size and condition help determine a practical combination. Discuss available filling options in relation to the feel and appearance you prefer.

Give the fabric room to tell its story

A large motif may need deliberate placement on the front and back. Stripes, contrasting edges and a coordinated group should be planned as a set. Show fabric references and point out details you want to feature.

Plan openings and care

Cover construction affects access to the insert and how the pillow can be cared for. Discuss closures while choosing the material. A removable cover is not automatically machine washable; care follows the selected fabric and filling.

  • Fabric references, pattern placement and any closure preferences
A CLEARER START

Common questions.

Can you make covers for inserts I already have?

Yes. Send the insert’s shape, approximate dimensions and condition, along with a photo of how it fills the current cover. The insert and intended fit should be checked together before the cover dimensions are finalized.

Can I replace the filling and keep the covers?

That can be an option when the covers are sound and allow suitable access. Stretched fabric, weak seams or a damaged closure may also need attention. Discuss the feel and fullness you want when reviewing the existing pieces.

Do you make cylindrical bolsters and floor pillows?

Yes. Include the form, dimensions, quantity and intended use. Bolster ends, floor-pillow thickness and edge details affect the pattern and filling plan, so photographs or a reference drawing are helpful.

Is this the same as replacing a sofa seat cushion?

This page covers decorative pillows, bolsters and floor pillows. For shaped seating cushions, seat support and fitted cushion covers or inserts, start with the cushion replacement service. Both can be discussed together when they belong to the same furniture project.
