Dory Slate Blue Toss Pillows (Set of 2)

The Dory collection is crafted from 100% recycled polyester, which offers a soft, plush feel while being an eco-conscious choice. From a performance standpoint, polyester is an exceptionally durable synthetic fiber that is naturally resistant to stretching and shrinking. This ensures the pillows maintain their "knife edge" shape and crisp, square silhouette even with daily use in a busy living area.

At 22 inches wide, these pillows are larger than the standard 18-inch throw, making them ideal "anchor" pillows for deep-seated sofas or large sectionals. For a standard three-seater sofa, we recommend placing these larger pillows in the corners to provide a supportive backrest, layering smaller 18-inch or 20-inch pillows in front to create a sense of depth and designer-level proportion.

To maintain the "très chic" plushness described in our product data, we recommend a routine "chop and fluff." Because these pillows feature a 6-inch depth, regular manual fluffing helps redistribute the fill and prevents the polyester from settling or becoming lumpy. For the best aesthetic, give them a quick fluff daily to help the square corners stay sharp and inviting.

While all fabrics can eventually be affected by direct sunlight, polyester is known for its excellent colorfastness compared to natural fibers. The slate blue dye is deeply integrated into the synthetic fibers, helping it resist UV fading more effectively than cotton or wool. For homes in very sunny climates, we still recommend rotating your pillows occasionally to ensure even exposure and long-term color vibrancy.

Yes, polyester is widely regarded as a high-performance material for active households. Because the fibers are synthetic, they are more resistant to stains and easier to spot-clean than natural fibers like silk or linen. Additionally, the tight weave of this fabric is less prone to snagging from pet claws, and the slate blue color is excellent for concealing minor wear between cleanings.

These solid pillows serve as the perfect foundation for the "2-2-1" styling rule. Because they are a solid, versatile slate blue, they act as a visual anchor that allows you to layer on more complex patterns. Try pairing this set with a large-scale floral or geometric print and one smaller unique accent, like a lumbar pillow. This balance of solid and pattern prevents your living room from feeling visually cluttered while maintaining a cohesive color palette.
