Pillowcases cut for lumbar cushions — the long rectangular shape, not the square one. Lumbar cushions do a job square cushions cannot: sat behind the small of the back on a sofa or an armchair, they hold the lower spine forward, which is the difference between an hour of comfortable sitting and a sore back. On a bed, one across the pillows finishes the arrangement.

Buying guide
Check your insert's dimensions before ordering — lumbar sizes vary far more than square ones, and a cover an inch short will not close. Use the cushion at the small of your back rather than behind your shoulders, which is where most people put it and then wonder why it does not help. Wash covers with the bedding and swap them to change a room cheaply.
How it compares
Against a square cushion cover, the lumbar shape supports the back properly rather than just adding softness. Against a full cushion, a cover lets you keep the insert you own. Against a rolled towel, it looks like furnishing rather than improvisation.
