Beautiful pillows! I got a pair of navy ones and the actual color is slightly more muted than the online photos. The velvet is very soft and the inserts fit in nicely. I foresee that I may need to regularly "fluff" the inserts to keep the stuffing evenly distributed if I've been leaning on the pillows. Note that the covers and inserts were shipped seperately, so my inserts arrived a day after my covers did. Great price and fast shipping. I would buy these again!
