Two fall-inspired rust orange pillow covers
Dressing up your couch is an easy and fun way to lean into fall — after all, you can never have too many throw pillows! These highly rated pillow covers are made of corduroy and sport adorable pompoms along their sides for a fun, seasonal vibe.

You'll have to buy pillow inserts separately; this is a good option available on Amazon. You should aim to buy pillow inserts that are 1-2 inches larger than your pillow covers so your pillows will be plush, not flat.
