Cheap Christmas Throw Pillows: Where to Find Deals
Compare $5 full pillows, $1.50 cases and 4-packs under $10 to pick the right size and insert.
Cheap Christmas throw pillows are sold as full pillows from $5 at Target and $12.99 at Hobby Lobby. Covers for inserts you already own start at $1.50 at Dollar Tree and in 4-packs under $10 at Temu and similar sellers. A throw pillow means the decorative outer case plus the soft insert inside.
A cover or case is the outer fabric only and needs a separate insert to look full.

Full pillows that include the insert
Hobby Lobby sells a 10x30-inch rectangular Merry Christmas Buffalo Plaid Pillow for $12.99 after 50% off Christmas pricing from $25.99, according to the Hobby Lobby product page Hobby Lobby buffalo plaid pillow listing. That long shape works on a bench, entryway seat, or across the front of sofa pillows. Target lists Wondershop holiday throw pillows for $10.00 and a Bullseye's Playground Christmas Gingerbread Man Pillow for $5.00, according to the Target search listing Target holiday throw pillows listing.
Those are store-brand full pillows, so they are a simple entry point when you do not own inserts. Michaels and Walmart also list finished Christmas pillows with seasonal markdowns. Check the listed size and whether the price is for one pillow or a set before comparing.
Covers if you already own inserts
Dollar Tree lists the Christmas House Decorative Pillow Case for $1.50 each for shoppers who already own inserts, although the same-day listing showed out of stock, according to the Dollar Tree same-day store page Dollar Tree pillow case listing. That makes covers the lowest cash outlay when your inserts are still in good shape. Covers use less fabric and cost less to ship than full pillows.
Measure your insert first, since many low-price covers are sold in 18x18 inches. Walmart and other large sellers list single covers and 2-packs in common square sizes. A cover-only listing will state that inserts are not included.
Multi-packs that lower the cost per cover
Temu sells a 4-piece set of 18x18-inch linen Christmas pillowcases with zipper closure for $6.98, machine-washable, with inserts not included and $2.99 shipping or free over $30, according to the Temu product page Temu 4-piece Christmas pillowcase set. That breaks down to under $2 per cover before shipping. Multi-packs help when you want matching pillows on both ends of a sofa.
SHEIN listings include a similar 4-piece 18x18-inch cover format, also sold without inserts. Buy one set in a pattern you can reuse each year. Added shipping can erase the savings on a single small order.
What to check before you buy
Size, closure, fabric, and insert status affect value more than the front print. A low price is not a saving if the cover does not fit your insert. Bring your room measurements and insert sizes when you shop.
One $5 pillow that fits beats a 4-pack that does not.
- Full pillow or cover only: look for insert included or insert not included
- Size: 10x30, 18x18, and other square sizes are not interchangeable
- Total cost: add shipping and check free-shipping minimums
- Care: machine-washable covers are easier to reuse after storage
