A triangle shaped cushion to relax on anywhere: make one by hand using DIY techniques

How many times does it happen to you that to find the most comfortable position, when you are lying down or sitting on your bed or sofa, you have to fluff up the pillow or cushion, add another one or look for one with the best shape to give you the most comfortable support? The type of padding, and above all, the shape of our cushions, can be of many different kinds, but obviously, you cannot have your home crowded with cushions of all shapes and sizes just to cater for every eventuality.

Given this, you could try using a triangular shaped pillow or cushion to be used in many different ways. They can be sewn by hand, or you could even look for them in stores online (or shops just down the road from you): read on to see if these super versatile cushions could also be useful for you.

DIY Triangle Backrest Pillow by Sewing Times

This triangular backrest pillow has the side section in the shape of a right triangle: the back side is therefore straight, while the front side is inclined. This is great for resting against a firm surface, such as a wall or headboard, and is high enough to support your back. A cylinder-shaped neck pillow can also be added and removed as appropriate, and it is also equipped with a pocket to hold your mobile phone or a book. This is very convenient to have in the bedroom, but also in the living room or study.

Triangular Spa Pillow by Salty Mom

Another model, this time with the sides all the same or almost all the same, and made up of multiple triangular cylinders joined together. This cushion is also multipurpose, to be used in various situations and rooms in your home.

An even simpler and smaller one, without pockets and additional accessories, is useful almost everywhere, especially to make the sofa comfortable when taking a little nap! It would certainly be a simpler project to make by hand, and maybe it would be useful to have more than one for the various rooms of the home.

Depending on your needs, this type of cushion will allow you to sit just about anywhere (and the cushion itself can function as a seat, for those who like to sit on the ground too), but it can also become a support for books, laptops or tablets when we are sitting on the sofa or on the bed.

And there are also models that you can copy (or buy!) for your DIY projects. These cushions make the headboard comfortable, and at the same time decorate the room. Just choose a fabric and color or pattern that best matches your home’s decor.
