How it goes in

Three steps. Under a minute. Nothing shows.

PillowWeights is a system, not a sandbag. The weight attaches inside the cover and stays centered, so the pillow looks and feels exactly the way you bought it.

Step 1: prepare the cover

Prepare the cover.

Take the pillow out and turn the cover inside out on a flat surface.

Step 2: attach the strips

Attach the strips.

The included fastening strips go onto the weight. Peel, press, done.

Step 3: attach the weight

Attach the weight.

Center it on the inside back of the cover and press. Pillow back in, zipper shut. From the outside, nothing shows.

Which size do I need?

One size. It fits almost everything.

One PillowWeight per pillow, for covers from 12 to 24 inches. All of these are covered by the 50 mph guarantee.

Bigger than 24 inches? Use two.
  • 12×12
  • 16×16
  • 18×18
  • 20×20
  • 22×22
  • 24×24
  • 12×20
  • 14×24
  • Lumbar & rectangles too

Built different

Anyone can make a pillow heavy.

The copies add weight and stop there. We built the whole system around one job: hold the pillow without changing the pillow.

Straight talk

Questions people actually ask.

Will it work on my pillows?

If the pillow has a cover and is 12 inches or bigger, yes. Square, rectangle or lumbar. Anything over 24 inches, use two.

Can I feel it when I lean back?

No. The weight is a flat, soft pad that sits against the back of the cover. The pillow keeps its shape and its squish.

How does it attach?

With our fastening system, inside the cover, in about a minute. No sewing, no tools. The one-minute video shows both ways to do it, depending on how tight your covers fit.

What about washing?

Lift the weight off, wash and dry the cover the way you always have. The weight itself only needs a spot clean. Don't put the weight through the machine on its own.

Does it hold up outside?

It was built for outside. UV-resistant, water-resistant ripstop nylon, no metal parts, tested in 50 mph gusts. Patios, rooftops, pool decks and boats are where most of ours live.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Send it back within 30 days, any reason. If a pillow blows away in winds under 50 mph, we want to hear about it, and you get your money back.

For the trade

Buying for more than one patio?

Designers, hotels, builders and boats get trade pricing that drops as you buy more, net terms for qualifying firms, and a real person to talk to.
