Hometex Canada Pillow Insert 20" x 26" Polyester Filled Standard Cover (2 Pack)

Some pillows are to large for 18 inch cases. These are well made and well worth the nominal price charged. I highly recommend.

As a gift I was recently given a new bedspread set that included two pillow shams for which I needed 2 inserts. I learned from previous mistakes that if you want a pillow sham to look like it should then it's imperative to measure the area of the sham and purchase the appropriately sized insert. This time that's what I did and as a result I narrowed my focus down to this pair of 20" x 26" inserts. I was skeptical that the quality might not be very good given the very modest price but I am happy to report that these seem to be made well which, given their price, makes them a good value.The pillows came compressed in a vacuum-sealed clear plastic sleeve. Upon carefully cutting it open the compressed pillows within immediately inflated. At first I was a little disappointed that they weren't a little fuller but I decided to use them anyway. I then covered them with a couple of pillow protectors, inserted them into the shams and placed them on the bed. They looked good enough so I concluded they would suffice for my needs even if they weren't as full as I'd hoped. With that I shut off the lights and walked out of the bedroom. When I returned to the room a few hours later and turned on the lights I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the shams appeared to have filled out much more than they were when I'd left the room earlier - so much so that the shams wound up looking the way I'd originally hoped they would - nice and full.The inserts themselves are very soft and as I mentioned before, nice and full. I think they'll hold up nicely over time as inserts since I rarely use the shams for anything other than decoracoraive purposes. I think that if they were to be used for sleeping I'd wager they'd be very comfortable up till the spun material used to fill the insert gets compressed over time to the point that they no longer offer much cushioning - which is what happened with every other polyester-filled pillow I have ever purchased for sleeping. Now all my pillows for sleeping are either down or memory foam.I feel that these represent a great value if used for inserts in a decorative pillow but I wouldn't expect them to last long if one plans on using them for sleeping - but then again I could be wrong especially since I've only had them for a week. Nevertheless, given their cost to benefit ratio I think these are a great value which is why I gave them 5 stars.BTW - There were no manufacturing odors whatsoever with these inserts as is so often the case with memory foam equivalents.I hope this review helps.

This pillow form was the perfect size for my shams. I’m using them for show only, so they were firm enough to do the job. I’d purchase these again for that reason.

The pillow was just the right size and looks great. The only issue I had was with the packaging. It was so tight, and they say not to puncture it. The key with these pillows (which I love) is after opening the inner package, IMMEDIATELY stuff the pillow insert into the case. Then it expands to fill the space. With this package, there was outer wrapping that was so tight the only way to get it off was to use a scissors, and of course, even though I was careful I ripped the inner packaging, and the pillow began to expand. It was a race to get it into the case. I was able to do it, but it was tricky.

These are very nice full plump pillow inserts. They would not make very good pillows for sleeping nightly but are excellent for filling a pillow sham. Fills out the sham very well.

I made pillows and size was perfect

I have ordered these three times and they are extremely full, perfect pillows! I will continue to order whenever I need pillow inserts.

I really struggled trying to find a good insert for my euro shams. I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg cause they’re just decor. These I felt were a decent price compared to the others I looked at. My euro shams are 26x26 so I needed a size bigger in the pillow for it to completely fill my sham. Theses did that! I love the look! They came in an air tight sealed bag but after opening they fluffed right up! I think these are perfect and definitely worth the money!
