How do you use a decorative pillow?

Pillows and pillow covers for decorative pillows

Pillows are indispensable in our daily lives, as they serve many different functions. We sleep on pillows, we sit on pillows, we use pillows as decoration. Pillows are practical helpers when traveling, in the form of neck pillows or for health issues, in the form of orthopedic pillows. Mister Sandman offers various pillows that are supposed to help achieve a restful sleep. However, for a restful sleep, not only the choice of the right pillow is crucial, but also the choice of the right mattress. Which mattress is the right one can be easily found out with the Mister Sandman mattress finder. Because Mister Sandman has three mattress models available, which are recommended to you based on your individual preferences and sleeping habits by the Mister Sandman mattress finder. Ideally, the sleeping pillow and mattress should be coordinated with each other.

The right pillow for every occasion

Various types of pillows make our daily lives easier and contribute to our well-being. Most pillows we use in everyday life have a practical function. However, we have the option to give our pillows a decorative touch by using pillowcases and covers. Practicality can thus be combined with decoration. Bed linen is a good example here. Of course, it is important that our bed linen is durable and breathable. We spend many hours in our beds every day. For our bed linen to contribute to a restful sleep, it must be regularly maintained. Pillows and comforters thus have a practical function on one hand, but with the choice of beautiful bed linen, they can also look appealing. You can find the right mattress for your pillows and bedding with the help of the Mister Sandman mattress finder. This recommends one of our mattress models: Liara, Serena or Anea. Pillows can be used in very different ways:

  • Pillow
  • Seat cushions
  • Chair cushions
  • Floor pillows
  • Decorative pillows
  • Sofa pillows
  • Decorative cushion
  • Orthopedic pillows

Choose pillows, decorative pillows, and mattresses correctly

Depending on whether it is a sleeping pillow or a decorative pillow, different criteria should be considered. While a decorative pillow should primarily be aesthetically pleasing, a sleeping pillow must be tailored to individual needs for sleeping. Here, it should especially be noted that the pillow fits the mattress. Mister Sandman offers a 30-day trial sleep. This way, you can easily find out if the pillow and mattress match each other and you. If you are not satisfied, you can return the mattress for free. Mister Sandman mattresses also come with a 10-year warranty.

Choose colors for decorative pillows correctly

Colors play an important role. The choice of certain colors for our pillow cover and duvet cover not only contributes to a successful appearance but can also influence our mood. But back to the pillows. Because pillows play an indispensable role in our daily lives, there is accordingly a huge range of pillows available. There are not only different types of pillows, but pillows are offered in all imaginable pillow sizes, pillow colors, and pillow styles, and by a variety of brand manufacturers for pillows.

Bedding: Pillows for a restful sleep

Pillows, if chosen correctly, contribute to a restful sleep. Pillows, such as head pillows, on which we mainly sleep, must meet different criteria than, for example, decorative pillows. While we also use decorative pillows or sofa pillows here and there for a nap, decorative pillows are primarily intended as decoration for our living room, decorative pillows for the sofa, or other living areas. When buying a pillow, one should pay attention to the following points:

  • What material the pillows are filled with
  • What material was used for the pillows (cotton? polyester?)
  • Whether the pillow has been tested for harmful substances
  • Whether the pillow has the right size for the existing bedding (pillowcase)
  • Whether the pillow fits your needs

Side sleeper, stomach sleeper, back sleeper?

Do you need a side sleeper pillow, a stomach sleeper pillow, or a back sleeper pillow? A pillow for allergy sufferers? A pillow for people with physical complaints? These are also questions that play a role in choosing a suitable pillow. Here, it is also important that the pillow and mattress are adapted to the sleeping habits. Mister Sandman helps you find your individually suitable mattress to match your pillow with the Mister Sandman Online Guide.

Beautiful and cozy living with decorative cushions: velvet sofa and velvet decorative cushions

Everyone has their own ideas about how they want to live. Some prefer minimalist design and muted colors, while others enjoy it opulent with velvet sofas, candles, and a sea of decorative cushions. Others, on the other hand, feel most comfortable in an apartment furnished as functionally as possible and pay more attention to the brands of the kitchen appliances than to design and style. However one prefers to live, there is a suitable decorative cushion for every furnishing style.

Opulent interior style

For those who prefer it particularly cozy and warm, velvet is the right material for velvet sofas and velvet decorative cushions. If you want to acquire a velvet sofa in bold colors, you should ensure that the other furniture is subtle and restrained. Because if velvet is used too generously, the atmosphere in the living room can quickly become too plush. If you don't want to buy a velvet sofa right away, you can also opt for velvet decorative cushions. Velvet decorative cushions come in various colors, with dark bold solid colors or light pastel shades particularly standing out in velvet cushions.

Care for velvet

Unlike cotton, velvet is a delicate fabric.

If you want to clean the velvet cushion cover or the velvet sofa cover, you should pay attention to the following tips:

  • Best to wash velvet by hand
  • Do not wring out velvet
  • Iron velvet only on the reverse side

If velvet is too opulent and heavy for both the sofa and decorative cushions, one can opt for decorative cushions, accent cushions, and sofa cushions that are cleaner and more minimalist. Minimalism is the art of omission. However, this does not mean that no decoration can be used at all. Minimalist design is characterized by reduced patterns, clear lines and muted colors, such as gray, black, and white.

  • minimalist furniture is characterized by clear lines
  • minimalist furniture is kept in light colors

If you want a minimalist touch in your living room, you should avoid decorations as much as possible. However, decorative cushions or floor cushions in muted colors can be used in this style. The same applies to beds. The beds themselves should be straight-lined and have a simple look. Minimalist cushion cover design, little decoration, and bedding in light solid colors additionally contribute to the style.
