Collection: Moroccan Boho Throw Pillows

Handwoven Moroccan boho throw pillow covers in the standard 18" × 18" size — wool, cotton, and cactus silk, direct from artisan workshops. Inserts sold separately.

18" × 18" pillow covers — the standard throw pillow size

Every cover in this collection is 18" × 18" — the most popular throw pillow size in the US, and the easiest to shop inserts for. If you've been searching "18x18 pillow covers" or "pillow covers 18x18," these handwoven Moroccan designs are made to that exact spec, so any standard 18" or 19" insert drops straight in.

Why 18" × 18" is the default: it's large enough to anchor a sofa or the front row of a bed, small enough to layer two or three across without crowding, and it's the size virtually every insert manufacturer stocks. Sizing up to 20" or 22" reads more formal and takes more space; 18" is the versatile, everyday choice — which is why it's the one size we weave across the whole boho range.

What makes our throw pillows authentic

Each boho Moroccan pillow is handwoven on traditional wooden looms by artisans whose families have woven for generations. We don't source mass-produced "moroccan pillow" knockoffs — every piece in this collection comes from a specific workshop in Morocco or Mali.

Materials include hand-crushed wool (Couscous, Zanafi), cactus silk extracted thread by thread (Sabra), and hand-dyed cotton (Mudcloth, Pom Pom).

How to style boho throw pillows

Layer in odd numbers: 3 on a sofa, 3 on a queen bed, 5 on a king. The Moroccan boho rule: pair one bold patterned pillow (Mudcloth, Sabra) with two textured neutrals (Couscous wool, Zanafi). Because all our covers share the 18" × 18" size, they layer cleanly without a jumble of mismatched dimensions.

Frequently asked questions about 18×18 boho throw pillow covers

What is the standard throw pillow size?

18" × 18" is the standard throw pillow size in the US — the most common size for sofas and the front row of a bed. Every cover in this collection is made to that 18×18 spec.

What size insert do I need for an 18x18 pillow cover?

Use an 18" or 19" insert for an 18" × 18" cover. We recommend sizing up to 19" for the fullest, most luxurious look — an 18" insert leaves the corners slightly soft.

Are these throw pillows or just covers?

These are sold as covers (inserts separate) so you can wash, swap, and store them easily — the same model used by most premium pillow brands. A couple of designs are offered as complete pillows; the product page states which.

Can I machine-wash a Moroccan throw pillow?

No. The natural plant and mineral dyes can bleed in a washing machine. Spot-clean with cold water or have it dry-cleaned.

Why do my pillows look slightly different from the photos?

Because they're handwoven. Tonal variation, slight pattern asymmetry, and looser knits are signatures of authentic handcraft — not defects. Mass-produced pillows are perfectly uniform; ours are not, by design.

How many throw pillows should I have on my bed?

3 for a Queen, 5 for a King — always odd numbers, in graduated sizes. Place sleeping pillows behind, decorative throws in front.

Whether you call them boho pillows, boho throw pillows, 18x18 pillow covers, or Moroccan throw pillows, every piece in this collection is handwoven and hand-finished.
