The 5 Best Floor Pillows of 2020

Best Overall: Mistana Cottonwood Chevron Cotton Floor Pillow

Buy on Wayfair

If you want to make a more formal living room feel instantly inviting, toss a few floor pillows onto the rug. Even in an elegant space, a floor pillow makes guests and family members feel at home and removes that “look but don’t touch” feeling a nicely decorated room can have. This pillow has a slightly more dressed-up feel than many floor pillows, which means it will look at home in both more formal and casual spaces. Add one or two to your living room to turn your coffee table into space for the kids to color or play board games, or to create extra seating when you have a crew over to watch a movie or a sports game. In winter, use it to stay toasty by the fire, and in summer, move it toward an open window (or the back porch) to enjoy some fresh air. This pillow comes in classic navy-and-white or neutral beige-and-white to seamlessly blend into any kind of decor. They can also be tossed onto the couch for extra back support.

Best Round: COTTON CRAFT Chindi Floor Pillow

Buy on Amazon

If you’re looking for a floor pillow that’s as much for sitting as it is to add a bohemian style statement to your space, consider this pillow. At 24-inches round, it’s on the slightly smaller side, so it’s easy to store in between uses or toss onto a sofa when you’re not sitting on it, and the colorful style blends well with all kinds of materials and picks up tons of color schemes. Because the pillow is made of recycled materials, including repurposed fabric that’s woven, along with jute, into the durable cushion top, you can expect some variation in color from what you see online. Whatever you get, it will be a brilliant combination of rich jewel tones.

Best Japanese: Eshow Tatami Floor Pillow

Buy on Amazon

If you’re someone who prefers to sit on the floor for various activities—dining, meditating, reading and more—this Japanese style cushion is a great option. It’s handmade of woven rush, a non-allergenic material that is both soft and strong under repeated use. The textured natural fibers are also a beautiful, toned-down design statement that works in just about any room thanks to their neutral colors and soothing texture. This cushion is available in both square and round, and a few sizes to seat you comfortably whether you’re a smaller or larger person. These firm, flat pillows stack easily when not in use and make for a good option for extra seating in a living room or dining area, too.
