Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about your custom piece? You'll find answers below. If you don't see what you need, our team is always happy to help.

Ordering & Our Process

How Does the Nest and Needle Process Work?

Every piece follows three steps. First, you select the shape, size, and quantity of your pillows and place your order. Next, our designers create custom design concepts based on your inspiration. Finally, once you approve a design, we tailor your one-of-a-kind piece by hand.

Do I Need to Know Exactly What I Want Before I Order?

Not at all. Many clients begin with only a color, a photo of their room, or a feeling they want to create. Our designers will guide you from there.

Which Pillow Types Do You Offer?

We specialize in two pillow types: throw pillows and lumbar pillows. Each one is tailored to the size and style your space requires.

Can I Order a Single Pillow?

Yes. Whether you need one statement piece or a coordinated set for an entire space, every order receives the same attention to detail.

Design Concepts

What Should I Share for My Design Consultation?

Helpful inspiration includes photos of your room, paint colors, fabric swatches, or images of styles you love. Even a few words about the mood you want to create will help our designers.

How Many Design Concepts Will I Receive?

You will receive three design concepts tailored to your space and style.

What If I'm Not Completely Happy with the Concepts?

Your satisfaction guides everything we do. Each order includes two rounds of design revisions, so we can refine your design until it feels right.

Can You Match My Existing Décor?

Yes. Share photos or samples of your furniture, drapery, or bedding, and we will design pieces that complement your space beautifully.

Care

How Do I Care for My Pillows?

Each piece arrives with care instructions specific to its fabric and fill. Many of our covers feature removable closures for easy cleaning. You can also visit our Care Guide for detailed tips.

Pricing & Payment

How Much Does a Custom Pillow Cost?

Pricing depends on size, fabric, fill, and design details. Pillows begin at $79. You will see your price during Step 1, before any design work begins.

When Do I Pay?

Payment is due when you place your order.

Do You Offer Gift Cards?

Yes. A Nest and Needle eGift card makes a thoughtful gift for housewarmings, weddings, graduations, and corporate appreciation. Purchase an eGift card through Square ↗

Production & Shipping

How Long Will My Order Take?

Most orders are completed within four to six weeks after design approval. We also offer rush delivery within two weeks after design approval for an additional fee. Larger commercial orders may require additional time. Your designer will confirm your timeline before production begins.

Can I Track the Progress of My Order?

Yes. Your Client Portal allows you to review concepts, approve designs, and follow your order through each stage of production.

Where Do You Ship?

We currently ship within the United States. Shipping costs and delivery estimates are calculated at checkout.

Can You Meet a Deadline, Such as a Move-in Date or Hotel Opening?

We do our best to accommodate important dates. Please share your deadline when you place your order. Rush service may be available for an additional fee.

Hotels, Offices & Bulk Orders

Do You Work with Hotels and Businesses?

Absolutely. We partner with hotels, offices, interior designers, and property managers to create cohesive, beautifully styled spaces.

Do You Offer Volume Pricing?

Yes. Orders of 20 or more qualify for volume pricing. Visit our Trade & Commercial page to request a quote.

Can You Reproduce the Same Design for Future Orders?

Yes. We keep your approved designs on file, which makes reorders simple and consistent.

Do You Have a Program for Interior Designers?

Yes. Our trade program offers designers dedicated support and trade pricing. Apply through our Trade & Commercial page.

Changes, Returns & Guarantees

Can I Make Changes After I Approve My Design?

Changes are welcome until production begins. Once your piece is in production, we are unable to make changes.

Can I Return a Custom Pillow?

Because every piece is made just for you, custom orders are non-returnable. That is why we invite your approval before a single thread is cut.

What If My Order Arrives Damaged or Has a Defect?

Please contact us within three (3) days of delivery with photos of the issue. We will make it right with a repair or replacement.
