This cover was a little pricey and you have to buy a separate insert. However, it's well worth the cost. I was looking for something to complement some artwork of aspen trees that we have and the leafy look of this is perfect. The pillow cover also seems to be very well made and the boiled wool texture is quite nice. This is a decorative pillow. I don't know that it would be comfortable if you were trying to use it for lumbar support.
