Throw Pillow

Throw pillows are used for an aesthetic purpose as well as a functional one. They are generally used to tie in the colours of the sofa set or room. They also give a casual feel to the seating arrangement and can be used for lumbar support or to rest one's head on in case they are lying on the couch. A lot of throw pillows come with soft fluffy textures on top as well so they are comfortable to the touch. 

The reason they are known as throw pillows is due to them looking like they have been thrown onto the sofa, armchair or even the bed.

Throw pillows come in different shapes such as tubular, square, circular and more. The opening is generally concealed under a lip so the zipper is not in the way. The inside can be full of a fluffy synthetic material or microbeads, one can choose the kind based on the feel they prefer.

The outer layer is often cotton but can be leather or synthetic materials as well.
