simple. Next come rectangular outdoor pillows which will instantly add
versatility to your patio providing complete back comfort. Rectangular throw
pillows look good in any type of furniture, whether you are putting in chairs,
sofa or couches. Round pillows also add elegance but are not good for everyday
use as they are very comfortable. Bolster pillows are usually placed on the
sides of the sofas or big couches are used for plopping your elbows. Lastly
comes the box pillows which can be circular or rectangular but immediately add
a touch of dimension as they have more depth and height.
Color

retain and look new for a longer period of time.
