Flat, lifeless throw pillows are usually the insert's fault, not the cover's. MIULEE's 18x18 inserts come as a two-pack, each with 500 g of virgin microfiber fill inside a brushed fabric shell.

Who it's for

Great for anyone refreshing throw pillows, replacing flat inserts or buying new covers that don't come with inserts. They also work as lumbar or back support on a chair or in the car. If you want feather inserts for that 'karate chop' look, these are polyester fill instead.

What we liked

Generous fill: 500 g of virgin microfiber per insert, which the brand says is 20% more than competitors.
Quick rebound: the microfiber fill springs back after being squashed.
Good value: a two-pack at a budget price.

What could be better

They ship vacuum-packed and need to be fluffed or tumbled before use.
The brand recommends spot cleaning or dry cleaning, not machine washing.

Key specs, explained

18 x 18 inches: the most common throw pillow size; use a 20-inch insert for an extra-full 18-inch cover.
500 g virgin microfiber fill: new polyester fiber, not recycled scraps.
110 GSM brushed fabric shell: a soft outer layer that helps it sit smoothly inside covers.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Do they come flat? Yes, they're vacuum-packed. Pat them from both sides toward the center, or tumble them with dryer balls on moderate heat.

Q: Can I machine wash them? The brand recommends spot cleaning or dry cleaning.

Q: What size cover should I use? An 18x18 cover, or a slightly smaller one for an extra-plump look.

Should you buy it?

Solid, plump inserts at a low price. One of the easiest ways to make a sofa look better.
