FAQ
What is the fill material in these pillows?
These polyester budget pillows are filled with a hollowfibre filling, providing a soft and fluffy feel without the need for regular fluffing.
Are these hypoallergenic?

How do I wash these polyester pillows?
Machine washable at a low temperature (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to preserve the shape and softness of the filling.
Are these cushions suitable for outdoor use?
While the polyester fabric is reasonably durable, we don’t recommend prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or damp conditions as this can cause fading and degradation. It's best suited for indoor use.
