Pillow Mockup Templates

A pillow design viewed as a flat file looks nothing like it does on an actual cushion - the fabric bunches at the corners, light catches the surface differently depending on the weave, and the whole shape has dimension that a rectangle can't convey. These mockup templates bridge that gap so buyers see something that looks like a real product photo.

Templates cover square throw pillows, rectangular lumbar pillows, round pillows, and bolster shapes. Presentation styles include standalone product shots on solid backgrounds, lifestyle scenes on sofas and beds, flat-lay arrangements with other home accessories, and close-up texture details showing fabric weave and zipper construction.

The fabric rendering is the key differentiator here. Each template uses displacement mapping in Photoshop and Photopea to wrap your design around the pillow surface realistically. Seam lines, corner bunching, fabric creases - your print follows the contour of the cushion rather than sitting flat on top of it. That level of realism is what makes a listing image believable.

Smart objects handle the design placement. Open the PSD, locate the layer, paste your full-bleed artwork, and save. The template applies the fabric texture, lighting, and shadow automatically. Most templates show both front and back views of the pillow, which matters for designs that wrap around or have different front/back prints.

Color editing works on multiple levels:

• Pillow fabric base color (for solid-color areas outside your print zone)
• Background color or room scene elements
• Supplementary items like blankets, other pillows, and furniture in lifestyle shots
• Zipper and trim details on applicable templates

The templates work well for zooming into fabric texture details - useful for showing customers the quality of the print surface. Output is sharp enough for marketplace listings, social media ads, and print-ready catalog pages.

Custom pillow sellers use these to build out listing images quickly across multiple designs and colorways, but interior designers and textile artists also rely on pillow mockups for client presentations and portfolio work. If you're designing a custom fabric collection or pitching a home goods line, dropping your patterns into realistic pillow mockups communicates the vision far more effectively than a swatch tile.

What pillow shapes are available in this collection?

You'll find square throw pillows, rectangular lumbar pillows, round pillows, and bolster shapes. Most common size is the standard 18x18 inch square throw pillow, but lumbar and custom proportions are also well-represented.

Does the design wrap realistically around the pillow?

The templates use Photoshop displacement maps to conform your artwork to the pillow's surface. Fabric creases, seam lines, and corner bunching are all reflected in how the print appears, giving a realistic manufactured look.

Can I show both front and back of the pillow?

Most mockup sets include separate smart object layers or files for front and back views. This is useful for pillows with different designs on each side or for showing a solid-color reverse.

Are lifestyle scene mockups included?

Several sets feature styled room scenes - pillows on sofas, beds, armchairs, and outdoor seating. These lifestyle images are especially effective for e-commerce listings where buyers want to visualize the product in their own space.
