Z Gallerie pillow inserts give your covers the right shape, fullness, and structure. The collection includes down, down-alternative, and synthetic-fill inserts in square, lumbar, and Euro sizes. Each is sized to fit standard Z Gallerie pillow covers cleanly and to plump back up after use.
The right insert is what makes a pillow look styled rather than flat. For a fuller, more designer look, size up: a 22-inch insert in a 20-inch cover gives that crisp, hotel-bed fullness. Choose down for plushest feel, down-alternative for hypoallergenic households, or synthetic for the most affordable everyday option.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between down and down-alternative inserts?▼
Down inserts use natural feathers for the softest, most plush feel and the best plumpness over time. Down-alternative uses synthetic fibers to mimic the feel without animal products, ideal for allergies. Synthetic-fill inserts are the most affordable and easiest to wash but compress faster.
Should I size up my pillow insert?▼
Yes. Sizing the insert one to two inches larger than the cover (a 22-inch insert in a 20-inch cover) gives the pillow that crisp, full, designer-styled look. Same-size inserts often look flat or under-stuffed in finished covers. The slight oversizing is what creates the polished result.
Are pillow inserts machine washable?▼
Most down-alternative and synthetic-fill inserts are machine washable on cold-water gentle, then tumble dried on low with a clean tennis ball or dryer ball to redistribute the fill. Down inserts typically need professional cleaning. Check the care tag on the insert for specifics.
How do I keep an insert plump over time?▼
Fluff the pillow daily to redistribute the fill, especially down and down-alternative styles. Rotate inserts on the sofa or bed so one isn't compressed constantly. Refresh inserts in the dryer occasionally on the lowest heat with dryer balls to restore their loft.
What sizes are available?▼
Most common sizes are 18-inch square, 20-inch square, 22-inch square, 12-by-22-inch lumbar, and 26-inch Euro. The size matches Z Gallerie's standard cover sizes. Check the product details to find the right insert for your specific pillow cover.
