One of our current obsessions...bolster pillows. Not neccessarily the tube-shaped kind, but any long cushion that's substantial enough for maxin' and relaxin' but still looks good on the sofa. Maybe it's because we spent a few days of our holiday break stretched out on the couch with the flu. During that time we developed a hatred for square throw pillows (they're just not comfortable when you need to lie down and watch TV at the same time). Click below for pillows and links...

$100 for a pillow? No thanks, I'll make my own. :)

Weird, I have that couch and I made three pillows that shape for it.

I have a bolster from west elm that wasn't too pricey if I remember correctly. The boyfriend is not often seen laying on the couch without it!

You put flu germs on that pillow?

Another shout-out to WEST ELM. I just bought 3-rectangular pillows for less than $60 (on sale, of course).
Apparently, WEST ELM has standardized their pillow-insert sizes. So each season they are just designing new pillow-covers. I never thought I'd be the type to switch out pillows based on season - but hitting their sales could make it extremely affordable.
