Spring Throw Pillows: Refresh Your Space with Fresh Textures

Morris & Co.’s Strawberry Thief Pillow Cover brings an iconic pattern to both front and back, so you get a reversible look that’s easy to style from either angle. In our experience, the 100% cotton fabric and hidden zipper give it a polished finish, but note the cover is sold separately—no insert included. Care instructions aren’t specified on the product page, so we’d check the sewn-in tag first and plan for gentle spot-cleaning to preserve the print.

Marimekko's cushion cover brings iconic pattern and true Finnish craftsmanship, printed on 100% organic cotton in Helsinki. We found the hidden zipper keeps edges tidy and makes it easy to swap inserts, but note the inner cushion is sold separately and pattern placement varies from cover to cover. Cotton can wrinkle after washing, so a quick press may be needed. At $43, it's a spirited spring accent that mixes beautifully with solids and stripes.

Rifle Paper Co.’s Embroidered Garden Party Pillow Cover is a showpiece, combining printed cotton slub with hand-embroidered accents that add depth and a high-end feel. During our review, the solid reverse and durable YKK zipper made it easy to remove for insert changes, but care is spot-clean only. It’s priced at a premium $139, so we’d reserve it for a focal chair or bed where the texture and craftsmanship can shine—and stay out of heavy spill zones.

If you want a budget-friendly spring refresh, IKEA’s Sanela Cushion Cover delivers surprisingly luxe cotton velvet for under $10. We found the hidden zipper makes insert swaps smooth and the machine-washable fabric is convenient, though velvet pile can show marks and some users report it feels crunchy after washing—treating it gently helps. Also note the fit can run a touch small with generic inserts, so pairing it with an IKEA-sized insert or sizing up slightly tends to fill it out nicely.

UGG’s Kirkwood Braid Trim Accent Pillow adds that easy, spring-ready softness we like to layer on sofas and beds. In our testing, the washed 100% polyester cover felt extra plush, and the authentic UGG label with visible braided trim gave a premium look, while the removable, machine-washable cover kept upkeep simple. Just know the all-polyester construction can read a bit synthetic to some, and at $78 it’s pricier than basic decorative cushions, though the styling and convenience help justify it.

West Elm’s Chunky Cable Lumbar Pillow Cover brings instant texture, with an oversized cable-knit front that reads cozy and high-impact on a sofa or bed. During our review, the handwoven look and lumbar shape added a tailored, designer vibe, and the hidden/flap closure makes insert swaps easy. Keep in mind the wool-heavy front can feel itchy or shed for some, and because it’s spot-clean only and strictly indoor, it’s best reserved for low-traffic seating areas.

Becky Cameron's Cozy Chunky Knit Throw Pillow layers on instant texture with a soft acrylic knit that looks cozy without feeling heavy. In our testing, the removable cover and hidden zipper made tidying up simple, though the knit isn't quite as oversized as some photos suggest and acrylic can pill a bit after a few washes. The included polyfill insert feels springy and keeps its shape well. At $40.79, it's a comfy indoor accent for sofas or beds, not suited for outdoor use.

Looking for ultra-plush texture without heavy patterns? During our review, the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Pillow Case Sham felt incredibly soft thanks to its ribbed 100% polyester microfiber, and the discreet zipper made swapping inserts effortless and machine-wash care straightforward. It’s sold as a sham only—no insert included—so plan to pair it with a supportive pillow you love, especially since some buyers find the bundled inserts on other listings lack loft; the upside is you control firmness and quality.

Brooklinen’s Washed European Linen Pillowcase Set is our go-to for a spring bed refresh that actually sleeps cool. In our testing, the breathable European flax linen stayed airy through warm nights and softened noticeably after a few washes, and it’s fully machine-washable for easy care. Expect a slightly rough hand at first and remember that linen can wear faster than cotton under heavy daily stress, but for warm sleepers the temperature regulation and lived-in texture are worth it.

West Elm's Classic Linen Pillow Cover delivers that breezy, textured look with a linen-viscose blend that drapes nicely across cushions. In our testing, the wide range of earthy tones made mixing and matching effortless, though the zippered cover is sold separately from inserts and the fabric can wrinkle more than synthetics. It's machine-washable for easy care. For $27.99, it's a versatile staple for building a spring-ready pillow mix across sofas and beds.

Lighten things up with H&M's Linen-Blend Cushion Cover, which combines 55% linen and 45% cotton for a natural, textured hand at a friendly $12.99. During our review, the fabric added breezy depth to neutral sofas, and the removable design made swapping inserts effortless. Do expect some wrinkling and a different wear pattern than pure cotton, and remember it's sold as a cover only. Machine-washable and indoor-ready, it's an affordable way to trial spring neutrals or pastels.

IB Laursen's Harvest Yellow Cushion Cover brings a sunny pop of color with the relaxed texture only 100% linen can deliver. During our review, the fabric softened beautifully and the zipper opening made swapping inserts simple, though linen does wrinkle and can shrink if care instructions aren't followed. It's machine-washable and ideal for indoor spaces, adding an effortless spring feel on sofas or benches. At $38.82, it's a lovely way to refresh your palette without overpowering your existing decor.

Looking for luxe texture on a budget? H&M's Cotton Velvet Cushion Cover gives you a plush, soft hand feel and a clean look thanks to the concealed zipper, and in our testing it elevated a sofa instantly. Keep in mind it's a cover only and limited mostly to online availability, and velvet can show lint or pet hair. Machine-washable and just $12.99, it's an easy, affordable swap for mixing in spring color without committing to a pricier velvet.

IKEA's Gurli Cushion Cover is a simple, budget-friendly way to refresh a room, made from 100% cotton that's soft and machine-washable. We found the hidden zipper handy for frequent insert changes, but note some buyers say the material can feel a bit cheap and colors may read brighter in person than photos. For $7.99, it's great for layering seasonal shades and patterns where you want easy-care fabric and a low-commitment update.

Serena & Lily's Perennials Harbor Stripe Cover is a splurge that earns its keep with solution-dyed acrylic performance fabric that resists UV, mildew, and fading. Our experience shows it wipes clean with soap and water and holds up outdoors, though the fringe trim is more delicate than the body fabric. Note it's sold as a cover only, so factor in the insert cost. Machine-washable and indoor/outdoor friendly, it's a crisp, coastal accent for patios or sunrooms.

Pottery Barn's Sunbrella Solid Outdoor Pillow is built for the elements, using fade-resistant acrylic that held its color during our review and a lofty polyfill that stays comfortable on patio furniture. The palette and size range make coordinating easy, but the pillow is sewn shut, so you'll be spot-cleaning rather than removing a cover. It's pricier than many generic options at $74.50, yet the durability pays off for high-sun decks and busy outdoor seating.

Neighbor's Horizon Outdoor Throw Pillow uses Sunbrella performance fabric to shrug off stains and fading, and the lofty polyester fiberfill keeps its shape in daily use. Our experience shows the zippered cover makes cleaning straightforward: just machine wash or spot-treat, though it's best to stash it during heavy, prolonged rain. The $100 price is steep for a single pillow, but the durable construction and colorfastness make it a reliable upgrade for patio loungers or dining sets.

CB2’s Ivory White Bouclé Lumbar Pillow is a statement layer that instantly modernizes a sofa with its rich, nubby texture. In our testing, the cotton/poly blend cover felt substantial yet machine-washable, and the available down-alternative insert is great for anyone avoiding feathers or allergies. Note the oversized 48-by-12-inch silhouette can overwhelm smaller seating, and bouclé can snag or pill if handled roughly—best for longer sofas, platform beds, or benches where it can stretch out.
