Why a Photo Pillow for Christmas?

Design Both Sides

Design the front and the back at no extra charge: the same photo on both, a different one on each, or leave the back blank and it prints white. Photos, names, kids' artwork or a collage all print across the whole face.

How do you make a custom throw pillow?

  1. Step 1

    Pick a size

    Choose 12, 16, 18, 20 or 24 inches, then Pillow + insert or Cover only.

  2. Step 2

    Add your design

    Upload a photo or artwork, or add names and a date. The editor shows the pillow as you build it, with a safe area for faces and names.

  3. Step 3

    Review, then order

    What you approve is what we print, front and back, to order in the USA.
