Let’s face it—we’re all spending a lot more time at home right now, and that probably won’t be changing anytime soon. But we say that’s just a good excuse to invest in new décor to make staying in an even cozier affair. And since we’ve personally been logging a lot of quality time with our couch lately, we’ve rounded up 20 throw pillows that will up the comfort factor—and add a pop of personality to your space.

1. A pillow fashioned after your favorite blanket

This pillow is perfect for creating a cold-weather oasis.

It doesn’t get cozier than a chunky knit blanket, so we’re pretty sure this comfy pillow with a soft, blanket-like quilted chevron face will make movie night even snugglier—but good luck staying awake through the credits.

The pillow comes in six different shades, from navy to mustard yellow. It's coated in a suede-like polyester, meaning you get the appearance and feel of suede, but the easy cleaning abilities of polyester.

2. This bright pillow to brighten up even the gloomiest work from home days

Who doesn't love pops of color?

Finding it hard to stay motivated on rainy work from home days? This sunny pillow, with its bright yellow, geometric pattern, will help show you the light—and add a pop of color to a room’s minimalist décor.

While I'm partial to yellow, this bright pillow comes in six vibrant colors and three sizes, perfect for any taste and space. It looks best when paired with solid colored pillows, like pale yellows or dark blues, which provide contrast to the geometric pattern.

3. A pillow that's downright ferocious

Bring the safari home to you.

What better way to liven up your sofa, bed, or accent chair than with a jungle cat or two? This unique pillow will add a whimsical, vibrant flair to any space, and thanks to its soft, plush down inserts, you won't mind laying your head on it either. The pattern features a variety of colorful, regal cats that will pop no matter the color furnishing you place it on.

4. A pillow we’d wear if we could

I think I own this sweater, TBH.

This comfy cotton knit pillow reminds us of our favorite sweater—we want to cuddle up to it while sipping cocoa (or perhaps a hot toddy) and reading a good book. The understated cream color and slightly preppy cable knit accent make it an elegant addition to any couch.

The pillow comes in two shades—khaki and medium gray, both of which look elegant on their own. Some reviewers say they've used them on their beds, while others leave them loose on the couch. Either way, this style is great for the farmhouse-inspired home.

5. A pillow that makes staying home even sweeter

I'm obsessed with this deep blue.

This soft blue pillow has the words “Home Sweet Home” embroidered on both sides—so you’ll always know you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. It looks great propped on a solid-colored couch or stacked against several color blocked pillows. The cotton-polyester blend makes it ideal for sitting against or using as a headrest for that quick afternoon nap.

The pillow itself comes with a cover and pillow insert, so you don't have to worry about buying a pillow to stuff inside it. The zipped outer shell removes for easy spot cleaning—what could be sweeter?

6. This pillow that’ll have everyone flocking to your couch

Would you pay $100 for a throw pillow? You might after reading about this one.

This isn't the cheapest pillow you'll find on this list, but it is among the chicest. This faux feather pillow has a cool avian look, but it’s all comfort. Bound to add a fun edge to any living room, it’ll have you flying high off your own good taste.

Part of what makes this pillow so expensive is that it's made from down, so it's incredibly soft to lay on. The feathers may look real, but they're actually polyester, which is much better, since you don't have to worry about stray feathers floating around your couch (and your house).

This pillow offers a unique way to introduce art to your living room.

This cool number is sure to be a conversation piece. Featuring an image from famed graffiti artist Banksy’s signature series “Girl with Balloon,” this artsy pillow adds some London edge to your home base.

The pillow is made from polyester with the graphic printed directly on the fabric, meaning you don't have to worry about peeling or waring. The pillow is sewn shut, so you can't replace the interior with a more comfortable filling unless you break out the needle and thread, but this pillow still makes an impressive statement wherever it's used.

8. This pillow that gets right to the point

Honestly we don't have a choice right now, pillow.

“Let’s stay home” and get comfortable. This sweet mustard-colored pillow features cozy white embroidery that invites the whole family to settle in for movie night. Plus, the welcome lumbar support provides support for your lower back, so you can last through a double—or triple—feature with ease.

The exterior is made from "canvas-like" material, which is essentially a blend of cotton, linen, and viscose. It's stuffed with polyester and looks perfect whether thrown on a couch or strewn on the patio bench.

Fur real tho, you need this one.

This fuzzy pillow is made from faux fur. The softness is very real, however—we’re not sure if we want to cuddle up to it or pet it. Just careful with the red wine, since this bright white pillow is spot clean only. It would look best when paired with a colorful couch or bedroom setup, allowing it to stand out among a throng of solid-colored accents.
