- Down. These are more durable compared to the polyester versions. However, they can be twice as costly. They are long-lasting and can withstand use better. Placed on a sofa or a chair, they can be fluffed back up after use.
- Foam. Pillows made from foam hold their shape better compared to either of the other two varieties. They are more commonly lumbar or squared throw pillows.
