These are super cute and soft to the touch; however, they were a tad but smaller than 16×16. I couldn't return them because I'm a procrastinator and waited until the last minute to order before my family came in town. My pillows look like they had 3 full course meals. They would've been PERFECT if the size was accurate and if the zipper wasn't as tricky. When unzipping them to insert the pillow, I had a mini panic attack because I assumed it would get stuck.
