This pillow is just as soft as the chenille blankets, make from the same yarn! There are holes in the pillow so you will see the white filling.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: I would hand wash these and tumble dry on low on their own. DO NOT PUT IN HEAT, the polyester will melt and matt and it's not possible to fix it after that. If you have a laundry bag to wash this in, then you can wash it in the machine on a cold delicate setting, and delicate air dry.
***Please note that sizing may vary slightly as they are hand measured and hand made, so each pillow will be one-of-kind and a slightly different measurement than listed (probably a tad larger)
