Improve Room Décor While Having Fun With Microbead Pillow

Microbead pillows are far more fun than other types of pillows. Their filling makes them uniquely soft and squishy. These pillows are chiefly decorative pillows meant for embellishing your drawing rooms, but they can be ideal for bedrooms of children. Children or for that matter even adults find it hard to put them down once they hold them in their hands. Read on to find out more about this special type of pillows.

What Are They Made Of

Most of the times, nylon lycra/spandex is the material used to make the outer covering or casing of microbead pillows. The special property of this material is its elasticity. That is why the same material is used to make swimwear also. Being extremely elastic, it is stretchable and can be filled up easily. However, microbead pillows are unique because of their special filling material. As the name suggests, these pillows contain millions of polystyrene beads called microbeads. The dia of these microbeads varies from 0.25mm to 0.7mm. These pillows are extra squishy only because of these beads. Millions of these lightweight and small beads slide against each other when you press the pillow.

A Wide Variety To Choose From

Microbead pillows are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You can find the ones that draw on the colors of your hangings, walls etc. If you intend to buy them for your children's bedroom, you can select pillows shaped like a football, basketball, or even animals. You can even find neck pillows with microbead fill, which can be taken along for journeys.

Clean With Care

Microbead pillows cannot be wash-cleaned as water can significantly affect the unique properties of microbeads. Therefore, it is advisable to have them dry cleaned as per need. To prevent accumulation of dust, you should keep microbead pillows in pillowcases.
