The 12x48 long lumbar is the bed styling secret most homeowners don't know about. Stretched across the top of a duvet or positioned at the foot of a king or California king, it adds the kind of layered, hotel-quality finish that makes a bedroom feel designed. Our 12x48 pillow covers are available in our most popular designer fabrics — linen, velvet, and heritage prints — and pair beautifully with our standard square and lumbar covers.
Build the look by pairing the 12x48 bolster with 22x22 and 24x24 square anchors, or with the slightly fuller 14x36 lumbar. Follow the layering formula in our sizing guide, browse the full designer collection or ready-made pillow sets, and finish each cover with a 12x48 down-alternative insert for a crisp, full bolster.
