How to Sew a Pillow with Stuffing

Steps to Sew a Pillow:

  2. Pin and Sew Three Sides – Secure the fabric pieces together and sew three edges, leaving one side open for stuffing.

  3. Insert the Stuffing – Evenly distribute the stuffing inside, adjusting for the desired firmness.

  4. Close the Pillow – Sew the final edge shut using a slip stitch or sewing machine.

  5. Fluff and Adjust – Shake and adjust the filling to create a uniform shape and feel.

A pillow filled with the right stuffing material and placed on a Puffy Royal Mattress creates an ideal sleep setup for comfort and relaxation.
