Lumbar Pillow Covers

Why a lumbar pillow earns its spot

A lumbar pillow is the punctuation mark of a room. It sits in front of larger square pillows, anchors a reading chair, or runs the length of a bed at the headboard. The elongated shape lets bird and botanical designs read fully, where a square pillow sometimes crops the motif.

How to style lumbar pillow covers

• Sofa front-and-center. Stack two squares behind, a lumbar in front. The lumbar should pull one strong color or motif from the squares without matching exactly.
• Bed headboard. One long lumbar across the front of the shams. Picks up the duvet's palette without competing with it.
• Reading chair. A single lumbar at the small of the back is more comfortable than a square. Pair with a folded throw on the arm.
• Bench or entryway. One or two lumbars along a bench seat sets the room's aesthetic from the front door.

Substrates

Lumbar covers are printed on demand by Spoonflower in North Carolina on cotton canvas, linen, or performance velvet. Cotton canvas is the durable everyday choice. Linen reads softer and more relaxed. Performance velvet is the choice for formal rooms or households with pets and kids.

FAQ

Are inserts included?

Covers ship without inserts. Lumbar insert sizes vary; check the cover dimensions and order an insert one inch larger for a fuller look.

Who prints and ships these?

Spoonflower prints each cover on demand in North Carolina and ships directly. Production runs about a week.

Can I get the same print on bedding, curtains, or throws?

Most BWB designs run across multiple surfaces. Search the design name to find its full family.

Can I order a swatch first?

Yes. Swatches are inexpensive and worth doing before any saturated or high-contrast lumbar order.
