I purchased 4 of these pillows. I am very pleased. They are true to color. The fabric is very durable. It is a polyester so it will last and wash beautifully. The covers have a zipper just for this and I did wash them. Came out as new. No damage or fading. The pillow is also firm so great for your back. They do not crush down to a thin pillow. I definitely recommend them.  I would describe the pattern as more wintery as opposed to Christmasy.
