Dory Dove Gray Ball Pillow

Yes, this pillow is upholstered in 100% recycled polyester, a material highly regarded for its resiliency in active households. Polyester fibers are inherently durable and resistant to pilling and stretching. Because the fabric features a solid, tight weave, it is less likely to snag on pet claws compared to loosely woven textiles, making it a practical yet chic choice for high-traffic living rooms.

The spherical shape is a hallmark of modern and contemporary design, offering a soft, organic contrast to the sharp angles of mid-century modern sofas or minimalist platform beds. The Dove Gray palette acts as a versatile neutral that pairs beautifully with cool tones like slate blue or warm metallics like copper. To maximize the modern appeal, try grouping two ball pillows of different colors to create a sculptural element on an accent chair or chaise lounge.

This pillow is designed with a plush polyester fill specifically chosen for its ability to bounce back after use. To keep the spherical shape looking its best, we recommend a quick daily fluffing—simply roll the pillow between your hands to redistribute the filling. This routine care ensures the pillow maintains its "ball" silhouette and prevents the lumpy or flattened appearance that can affect less resilient materials.

A spherical pillow is an excellent way to break up the linear rows of standard square cushions. For a balanced, "designer" look, we recommend using the round shape as the "1" in a 2-2-1 arrangement—placing it in the center or slightly off-set to act as a focal point. Measuring approximately 11.5 inches, its compact size also makes it an ideal choice for layering in front of larger 20-inch or 22-inch square pillows to add depth and visual variety to your seating area.

Choosing recycled polyester provides a sustainable decor solution without sacrificing the "tres chic" plushness of the fabric. Beyond its eco-friendly footprint, recycled polyester fibers are known for their strength and ability to hold vibrant colors, such as this sophisticated Dove Gray. This ensures that the pillow remains a staple of your modern decor while resisting the fading and wear common in lower-quality synthetics.

For pillows without removable covers, our expertise suggests immediate spot cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity. If a spill occurs, blot the area with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can push the liquid deeper into the fibers. For more stubborn spots, use a mixture of cool water and a mild detergent, gently dabbing the area before allowing it to air dry completely.
