Pilipw Furniture Increased emphasis on pillow groupings which serve as furniture is puffing up decorative sales. Most retailers feel increased buying of pillows results from more casual living among all age groups and from the growing numbers of second home owners. More consumers than ever before, and especially younger ones, are turning to pillow environments because pricing is about one-third that of conventional fur niture. And delivery is generally withing two weeks. Look for pillowed furniture designs when you are shopping for furniture, suggests Miss Trudy Dougherty, Chester County Extension Home Economist. You’ll see plastic cubes which form a basefor pillow furniture including sofa, ottoman and lounge-a good selection for a do-it yourselfer. Pillow furniture is also available in four 36 by 36 inch pillows, sewn together. Or two-piece units can be zipped together to form a couch or zipped apart again to be chairs. Another option gives you a choice of washable, zip-off coverings or permanent ones in a choice of foreign and domestic fabrics. One designer, com missioned to do children’s pillow furniture, has con cocted purple elephants and denim monkeys with snap off heads. Current excitement in adult pillow furniture comes from African prints, denims and Haitian cottons. Indian fabrics are also popular.
