A rectangle pillow, often called a lumbar pillow, supports the lower back and adds a horizontal accent to a sofa, bed or armchair; its shape suits reading and a layered pillow arrangement. At Eleish Van Breems Home we carry rectangle pillows in several sizes. Compare the square pillow.
What size rectangle pillow fits an armchair or bench?
For an armchair, a rectangle pillow around 12 by 20 inches supports the back without crowding the seat; a bench or sofa can take a longer 14 by 22 inch size for more presence. Match the insert fill to the cover exactly. Compare the luxury throw pillows range.
Where does a lumbar rectangle pillow sit in a pillow arrangement?
In a pillow arrangement, a lumbar rectangle pillow sits at the front and centre, layered over larger square pillows to add a final shape and a spot of pattern or texture. Let it finish the grouping. A lumbar pillow can also add extra support when placed behind the lower back in a reading chair. Combine with plain throw pillows.
Do rectangle pillows need special inserts?
Rectangle pillows need an insert cut to their exact size, since a standard square insert leaves the ends limp; use a lumbar-shaped feather-down or down-alternative fill sized roughly an inch larger than the cover all round. Refluff it regularly to keep the ends full. Compare the luxury pillow range.
