Custom pillows get it wrong more often than they should. Here's how not to be that person.
Mistake 1: Using a Low-Resolution Photo
WhatsApp compresses images heavily. Always upload the original photo from your camera roll. Fix: Export directly from your phone gallery app.
Mistake 2: Choosing the Wrong Size
Ordering a 40x40cm pillow for a large sectional sofa — it gets lost. Ordering a 60x60cm pillow for a compact apartment — it overwhelms. Fix: Measure your sofa before ordering. Read our size guide first.
Mistake 3: Cropping Too Tight
If a face fills 100% of the frame, the pillow looks claustrophobic. Fix: The subject should occupy 60–70% of the image area.
Mistake 4: Leaving Ordering Too Late
Custom pillows require 3–5 business days production plus delivery. Fix: Order 7–10 days before any event.
Mistake 5: Not Checking the Preview
Skipping the review step is how errors reach your door. Fix: Review the preview carefully — check cropping, text spelling, colour balance.
Mistake 6: Buying Cheap to Save Money
A badly printed custom pillow communicates the opposite of what you intended. Fix: Choose a fabric grade that matches the occasion.
