The 15 Best Oversized Throw Pillows of 2023

Pottery Barn Libeco Linen Throw Pillow

View On Pottery Barn

For an effortlessly chic oversized throw pillow, look no further than this stonewashed linen option from Pottery Barn. The Libeco Linen Throw Pillow measures a full 24 x 24 inches, with your pick of a down alternative or down feather insert. A zipper closure with leather pull is the finishing touch on this casually cool oversized throw pillow. It’s a standout pick if you’re looking for natural materials, plus key certifications like OEKO-TEX and Certified Nontoxic for the greenest, cleanest home goods. 

The Libeco mill in Belgium supplies the high-quality linen that covers both sides of this pillow. It’s available in more than a dozen solid colors, but if you’re a fan of patterns and prints, you’ll want to consider other options. The cover is also dry-clean only, which is something to know if you have pets or kids who frequently leave their mark on your furniture and pillows.

West Elm Modern Form Pillow

View On West Elm

For a pop of color inside or outside, we like the West Elm Modern Form Pillow. It measures 24 x 24 inches and is available in two cheery colorways that will compliment your patio, porch, or favorite indoor sitting spot. The cover is made of 60 percent jute and 40 cotton, which gives the pillow the moisture resistance and durability you’d expect of an indoor-outdoor oversized throw pillow, and the material is safe in the face of rain and spills!

Take note that this oversized throw pillow is a sustainably and ethically-made option, too.

It’s handmade in a Fair Trade Certified facility in India, and the polyester fill material is made from 100 percent recycled plastic. It costs less than $60 but is spot-clean only—the only downside to this pillow pick. Thanks to its durability, it should survive this lightweight cleaning quite well, however.

AllModern Milford Embroidered Throw Pillow

View On Wayfair View On Allmodern.com

If you’re a fan of soft textures and love abstract patterns but don’t want anything too loud, the AllModern Milford Embroidered Throw Pillow strikes the perfect balance. This gray-brown option has a cut pile linear pattern on the front side of the pillow that adds visual interest to your couch or bed, with softness you can literally feel. The greige color is neutral enough to match a variety of color palettes, which is a good thing, since that’s the only color option available. 

This throw pillow measures 24 x 24 inches and includes a polyester-fill pillow insert. The cover is removable—you can’t miss the zipper opening on the reverse side of the pillow. While other pillows conceal the zipper along a seam, that’s not the case for this option. Even still, you won’t spend much time looking at the back of this pillow, since the textured front is the real attraction. Keep in mind that this pick is spot-clean only.

Crate & Barrel 23-Inch Merrow Stitch Cotton Pillow with Feather Insert

View On Crate & Barrel

The Merrow Stitch Cotton Pillow from Crate & Barrel is available in nine shades to match your decor. You have your choice of a down feather or down-alternative pillow insert for the same affordable price–a bit of a rarity when it comes to throw pillows! Whichever insert you choose, an on-seam zipper neatly closes the pillow cover while minimizing visibility. 

This 23 x 23-inch throw pillow is larger than the more common size of 18 x 18-inches for a throw pillow. It’s substantial enough to make a statement on your favorite sitting chair or couch but soft enough to be used for support and comfort. However, if you plan to use this oversized throw pillow mainly for lounging, take note that the subtly textured linen cover isn’t as soft as expected, according to some reviewers.

We think the linen textured cover and merrow edging gives this pillow versatile appeal across a variety of design styles. Pick up a few pillows in your favorite color cover, and use them to dress up any seating space.

Anthropologie Luxe Linen Blend Pillow

View On Anthropologie

Dress up any seating space with the rich hues of the Luxe Linen Blend Pillow from Anthropologie. The oversized throw pillow is 22 x 22 inches, and you can pair it up with standard-size 18 x 18 pillows or a 14 x 40 lumbar pillow. It includes a polyester fill pillow, but there’s no option for a feather pillow insert, if that’s your preference. The cover, however, is the real standout here. While it’s touted for its linen, the viscose added into the mix makes for one seriously soft-to-the-touch cover you’ll want to lounge against. 

Whether you pick up just the oversized throw pillow or the whole set, you’ll find your perfect match in a dozen gorgeous color options, ranging from rich jewel tones like ochre and dark turquoise to softer shades like seafoam and ivory. The removable cover also features a concealed zipper, which blends in seamlessly. Keep in mind that the cover is hand-wash only, so keep these pretty pillows far from dirt, food, and other messes.

Sand & Stable Lassen Embroidered Throw Pillow

View On Wayfair

A neutral but stylish pick, we like the Sand & Sable Lassen Pillow for its embroidered geometric design in soft gray-and-khaki hues. It’s a perfect pillow for adding a dimensional accent to a leather sofa or your favorite armchair. This pillow has farmhouse chic vibes, but it blends in across a range of decor styles. It measures 22 x 22 inches and ships with a pillow insert. Take your pick of polyester or down fill, although unlike some of our favorite pillow picks, the down fill insert will add a few dollars to the cost. 

The list price may seem high, but Wayfair has frequent sales and deep discounts on pillows, throws, and other cozy home essentials. As you might have guessed from the rich texture on the pillow front, it’s spot-clean only, but this popular oversized throw pillow is sure to make a great addition in any space.

West Elm Sunbrella Solid Indoor/Outdoor Cast Pillow

View On West Elm

A large and comfy throw pillow is a welcome addition to indoor and outdoor lounging spaces. But most oversized throw pillows aren’t ready for the exposure to the sun and moisture that comes from being outdoors for an extended period of time. That’s why we love the Sunbrella Cast Pillow from West Elm. This indoor/outdoor oversized throw pillow is finished with Sunbrella’s UV-resistant material for years of fade-free use. The acrylic fabric also resists the growth of mildew and mold and isn’t easily damaged by chlorine. 

One of the best things about this 24 x 24 inch pillow is that it’s washable. While you can’t remove the cover, you can confidently scrub it clean using a solution of mild soap and water plus a soft-bristle brush. Use it on your pool deck or porch or around the firepit in your backyard without worrying about how you’ll clean it up if it becomes dirty.

CB2 Leisure Velvet Throw Pillow

View On CB2

Nothing says glam like an oversized velvet throw pillow. With the Leisure Velvet Throw Pillow from CB2, take your pick of rich shades like rum raisin or dark teal, along with classic color options like black and taupe. The oversized pillow cover ships with a feather down insert or down-alternative pillow. Keep in mind that the 23-inch insert fills the cover but won’t give you the ultra-plush look that comes from pairing a pillow cover with a slightly larger insert. 

The cotton cover features a velvet finish on one side, with a natural cotton canvas backing on the reverse. The fact that these pillows aren’t velvet on both sides is the biggest flaw, but it’s not a dealbreaker for most people, who say that the cotton canvas backing isn’t too stiff or scratchy. To its credit, the cotton velvet material has a reputation for holding up well, without crushing—even after sofa sitting sessions or winding up on the floor as a comfortable cushion. Despite being so durable, the cover is dry-clean only, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re used to tossing your throw pillow covers in the washer. All things considered, we think these pillows are a stylish, affordable pick.

Sunday Citizen Snug Floor Pillow

View On Anthropologie View On Sundaycitizen.co

We recommend the Sunday Citizen Snug Pillow for anyone who wants a really large oversized throw pillow. This pick measures 30 x 30 inches, making it 5 to 6 inches longer and wider than other oversized pillows on our list, many of which clock in at 23 or 24 inches in size. Of course, it also costs a little more. This pick is pricey, but it ships for free to your door. You’ll also have to wait about 24 hours for the memory foam pillow inside to fully expand, so don’t be surprised if it’s flat or thin upon arrival.

The extra size of this oversized throw pillow makes it ideal if you want a pillow that can support you while reading in bed, or it can double as a cozy sitting spot on the floor. Even if you order this pillow in soft, light shades like blush or gray, you don’t have to worry about where and how you use it—the cover is removable and machine-washable. The pillow insert is made of squishy, yet supportive, memory foam for a huggable form that holds its shape on your couch, chair, or bed. With a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, you’ll love this supersized pillow. If you don’t, we love that you have the opportunity to return it for a full refund.

Opalhouse Oversize Velvet Round Floor Pillow

View On Target

Most oversized throw pillows are square in shape, but if you want to add variety to your pillow collection, go for an alternative shape. A round pillow is a popular option, and we recommend the Opalhouse Oversize Velvet Round Floor Pillow. It has a diameter of 30 inches and is 7 inches thick. Needless to say, you’ll need a deep sofa for this oversized throw pillow or use it on your bed if you like a mountain of pillows to snuggle up to while relaxing or reading. You can also use this oversized throw pillow as a floor cushion, given its thick profile. 

The cotton velvet cover only comes in two shades—blue and pink. The lack of color options is perhaps the biggest shortcoming of this oversized round throw pillow. The cover is removable, but not suitable for machine-washing. Plan to spot-clean if it becomes soiled or dirty.

CB2 Rue Leather Throw Pillow

View On CB2

Perk up your pillow collection with a leather oversized throw pillow, like this option from trendy retailer CB2. The Rue Leather Throw Pillow offers a unique aesthetic you won’t find with a textile fabric pillow cover. The embossed leather cover is stamped with a pebbled, ostrich texture and will develop a natural patina with age, giving your throw pillow a custom look over time. You have your choice of a polyester-fill insert or a feather-down option. 

The oversized leather throw pillow measures 23 x 23 inches and comes in black or tan color options. Keep in mind that the reverse side of the pillow is made of cotton material in a matching color. A hidden seam zipper closure keeps the pillow insert securely tucked inside the cover. If you love the natural characteristics of leather, this throw pillow is a great choice in a size that makes a statement.

Threshold Woven Washed Windowpane Throw Pillow

View On Target

The Threshold Woven Washed Windowpane Throw Pillow is subtle yet sophisticated. This oversized throw pillow has a tonal windowpane design and a soft-to-the-touch cover that’s a blend of viscose, cotton, and polyester. It’s available in shades like yellow, cream, and blue, though the actual color sometimes varies from the retailer's photos. Customers note that what you see online can be lighter or darker in person, but with relatively neutral options, this affordable pillow pick should still work with most decor and rooms.

Inside of the 24 x 24 cover is a polyester-fill pillow insert. Fans of feather-fill pillows might be disappointed, but for $30, you can’t go wrong with the value of this large throw pillow. Households with pets or children will love the fact that the cover is removable and machine-washable. All in all, for an affordable oversized throw pillow that has more style and design than a solid pillow pick, you can’t go wrong with the Threshold Woven Washed Windowpane Throw Pillow.

World Market Oversized Tonal Stripe Throw Pillow

View On World Market

Add color, texture, and a plush pillow to your favorite sitting spot with the Oversized Tonal Stripe Throw Pillow from World Market. The pillow is available in three colors: ivory, rust, and mustard. 

The solid color doesn’t compete for attention from other patterns in the room, but we love the tonal striping that adds texture and an eye-catchingly attractive design element to the pillow. Just keep in mind that the reverse of the pillow is solid. Even still, the cotton-polyester slub material is soft and attractive. 

The 22-inch throw pillow includes a polyester insert. While the cover is removable, it’s  not machine-washable. Thanks to its affordable price, we recommend you pick up a few of these plush pillows for any room in your house that needs a lift from a comfortable oversized throw pillow.

Better Homes & Gardens Liam Textured Stripe Pillow

View On Walmart

The Liam Textured Stripe Pillow by Better Homes & Gardens is a neutral striped oversized throw pillow that looks good on its own or in combination with other textured throw pillows. The front side of the pillow features shades of beige that pair well with natural materials—think wood, wicker, or bamboo—and blends effortlessly with design styles as diverse as shabby chic to Scandinavian. 

This oversized throw pillow comes with a small price tag, totaling less than $30 for both the pillow cover and insert. The textured cotton cover is removable and spot-clean only, but it’s a hardy cover that shouldn’t show much in the way of wear. While it’s true that this pillow only comes in a single color option, it’s versatile enough to be used in a variety of settings. Of course, if you’re looking for a bolder pop of color, you’ll want to look at other options, but for a true oversized throw pillow (this one measures 24 x 24 inches), this pick is hard to beat for the value.
