We can all agree that square-shaped pillows are overrated, right? With their pointy corners and straight edges, the traditional quadrilaterals are just a bit basic. That's why we're thrilled to see a new pillow trend emerging. Round pillows, which range from circular cushions to plush spheres, are the future. They are comfortable to rest on at any angle, fit perfectly on a couch, and add visual intrigue to a room of linear furniture. You heard it here first.
