With this Ainsley Harriott Shrek pillow, both sides are the cool side

Ainsley Harriott as Shrek, lovingly emblazoned onto a throw pillow. I feel I've said enough.

These pillows are estimated to cause roughly 100 breakups per year, due to men who buy them and put them on the bed without telling their girlfriends. Once you pull a move like that, the relationship is ogre.

Dangerously powerful conversation starters

This Shrek-inspired Ainsley Harriott pillow is one of those things you don't know you need until you have it.

But when you put one in your living space, something interesting happens.

You realize that your home decor isn't just background noise. It's a way of starting conversations. And it's a way of creating memories.

Let me explain with a story.

When life gives you melons...

Legend has it that a savvy student once interviewed for a place at Oxford University—let's call him Les.

The Oxford interviews are notoriously brutal, and Les knew he needed to make an impression.

Cool and composed, Les waltzed into the interview room with a big smile on his face, armed with nothing but a bright yellow honeydew melon.

Naturally, the first thing the bemused interviewer asked was why our hero had brought a melon to the interview—and why he looked so happy about it.

Without breaking a sweat, Les simply replied "Because now you're never going to forget me".

Well, this pillow is your melon.

We can't tell you how people will react to it, but we can promise they'll remember it.

And you can be absolutely certain you'll make an impression.

Decor that gives new meaning to "pillow talk"

These durable pillows last for years—and look good doing it.

That's important, because you want a pillow that retains its shape and color over time, and is also comfy enough for a nap.

This is why we make each pillow by hand to make sure the quality is up to scratch.

The result is vibrant colors and vivid details that naturally infuse some life into dull spaces. Plus a texture that feels satisfyingly high-end.

What you see is what you get

Finally, there's no false advertising. The pillow that turns up at your doorstep will have exactly the same colors as in the pictures—and will look just as good on the sofa (frankly, we think they look great anywhere).

And you know what? If you want to transform a room from drab to fab, usually all you really need is one standout statement piece. And this pillow definitely stands out.

Fully backed by our Conversation Starter Guarantee! If you put this pillow where guests can see it, and it doesn't start a single conversation in a year, we'll give you 100% of your money back. Yes, we're serious.

Shipping & Delivery

Shipping is FREE and always will be. None of that "spend this much to qualify for free shipping" stuff.

Naturally, this means delivery usually takes a week or two, as we're only a small business (and not an evil trillion-dollar conglomerate with an army of overworked employees).

We can often get your pillow to your door in a week, but we'd suggest allowing 2 weeks to be on the safe side.

And of course, we carefully hand-pack each pillow to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition.

And if anything goes wrong? Well, there's the upside of not being a big stuffy corporate. We're a small, friendly team who are easy to talk to and quick to reply. Although issues with orders are rare, we're always just a message away to fix them when they do happen.
