4. Decorative throw pillow insert

Decorating experts admit they are super snobs about pillow inserts, having tried most of them and looking for the perfect fluff. ComfyDown is their favorite by far, and Amazon carries a ton of sizes and shapes.

So, among their list of under-$50 room staples are these pillows, which are made in the US and stitched to prevent feathers from poking through. Expertly filled with 95% feather and covered with a top-quality fabric, these pillows are fluffy and soft, and while they are a bit more expensive than average, they are sturdy and super comfortable. You won’t want to buy the cheaper ones anymore.
