These wonderfully-colored pillows are covered in two fabrics: a smooth, flat one on the body of the pillow and a somewhat lighter, faux suede one on the ends. Wonderful way to add just a bit of color in a pillow design.
Don't lay on these pillows, though. If you do, the microbeads will find their way out of the pillows. This not only decreases the column of the pillows but also leaves these tiny specks of color on you bed, chair, etc. very annoying, in my opinion.
