scatter cushion

Sofa accent pillow

A scatter cushion is a small decorative pillow placed casually on sofas, chairs, or beds to add color, texture, or comfort.

Unlike functional pillows meant for sleeping, scatter cushions are primarily ornamental and are typically arranged in groups of varying sizes and patterns.

The term is more common in British English; Americans often call these throw pillows or accent pillows.
