As a dog mom, I always have my pup in mind when decorating. Various memorabilia and reproductions of her adorable face are a common theme in my home! A pillow is on the list of things I need my dog’s face on. A pillow is something I can travel with and remember my sweet pup no matter where in the world I am.

However, finding a good quality pillow isn’t always easy. Not all companies can reproduce photographs well, and not all pillows are soft and comfortable. All About Vibe takes this desire to a whole new level by offering custom-shaped pillows rather than just slapping a photo on a square. This makes each pillow one-of-a-kind and created just for you.

Many of my pet-parent friends share the same sentiment, so a unique gift like this is equally on the agenda for birthdays and holidays!

About All About Vibe

Originally called LifeLike Pillows, All About Vibe began in 2016 with a specialty in unique custom pillows. The co-founders put a lot of hard work into crafting a magnificent company that provides memories in the form of a photo pillow. As true pet lovers, the All About Vibe office even features a few critters of its own, including Molly the cockatoo, Zoe the French bulldog, Jackie the chamaeleon, and Ash the Scottish fold!

The company partners with numerous charities, such as Save the Children, Toys for Tots, the Family House, and the Make a Wish Foundation, to bring happiness to those in need. All About Vibe prides itself on being made in the USA, with each order custom-made by its skilled staff. All the products start as raw materials and are structured based on the photograph you provide, so the quality is top-tier. There is a lot of confidence and admiration for their products, and each pillow comes with the best warranty I have ever seen—a genuine, 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Overview

These pillows are unlike others in the market because they are custom-shaped to your photograph!

Pricing

The price ranges from $15 to $80, depending on the size selected.

This makes their pillows more expensive (on average) than those of many standard competitors, but unlike those of other companies in the industry, they are not square or rectangular. They are custom-shaped! This fact makes the price feel more justified.

Sizes

Note that the above are approximate sizes, and the pillows are cut and shaped based on the image you want reproduced.

Material

All of the pillows are made of ultra-soft velvet polyester fabric. They are soft and well-stuffed, squishy and comfortable! The pillow is machine-washable; just be sure to use a cold cycle to preserve the vibrant colors.

Image Reproduction

The background is extracted, and your pet is set in white. Images are reproduced on both sides of the pillow. The colors are vibrant and beautiful, and your pet is nice and sharp! The best photographs to use are those that show your pet’s whole body, whether sitting, standing, or lying down! That’s because the pillow is custom-cut per photograph, so it makes more sense to see your pet’s legs and cute paws.

However, images of all-white animals where there is only subtle detail in the coat are more challenging to reproduce (I noticed this in my primarily white dog, but more on this when I talk about my personal experience). However, the pillow is stunning and is not a deal breaker!

Shipping

The pillows are made in Chicago, Illinois, and take about three to five business days to make. Shipping rates range from $5.95 for standard shipping, $14.95 for priority shipping, and $39.95 for expedited shipping.

Warranty and Guarantee

All of the pillows come with a lifetime guarantee! If your pet damages the pillow, All About Vibe will send you a replacement. If you’re unhappy with the pillow for any reason, All About Vibe has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, so they will work with you diligently to ensure you love your pillow.

In Summary

Key Features

Fully Custom

All pillows start from raw materials and are handmade in the USA to match the photo uploaded. The pillow is shaped based on the submitted photograph, so unless two people submit the same image, each product is unique!

I cannot stress how fantastic this is, as you aren’t stuck with a standard square or rectangle shape. This also makes the pillows so much more huggable.

Quality

The pillow is brilliantly made and feels soft and squishy. The material (velvet polyester) has a nice texture, and the image quality is very high. The pillows are also relatively durable and can be machine-washed easily.

It’s not easy to print an image onto fabric like that, and All About Vibe has figured out a great way to do it.

Various Sizes Available

Six sizes are available, and custom sizes are possible if you contact customer service. The pillows make excellent gift or decor options for any room.

Reproduce Any Photograph

You can have any photograph you love turned into a pillow – whether it’s a cell phone snap or something from a professional camera. This opens the door to endless possibilities.

Retouching Included

Retouching is included (within reason, of course!), and you can leave notes when ordering on what you want to be removed. Common requests include removing leashes, collars, and other items, so you don’t need to worry about a pesky eyesore in your favorite photo.

Is the Custom Shape Pillow a Good Value?

Prices range from $15 for the 4” keychain or ornament pillow to $80 for the 30” pillow, and some might consider the prices higher than the competition. The lack of free shipping might be another thorn for some people.

However, this is the highest quality pillow I have ever purchased from any custom company. It is beautiful, perfectly stuffed, and feels so soft. More importantly, however, my dog looks awesome in it. It is worth the price, especially since this pillow will last a lifetime.

On that note, the lifetime guarantee also makes this pillow worth every penny. You can get a replacement should something happen to it! All of this makes this pillow an excellent value.

Our Experience With All About Vibe

My pup Lorelei is eight years old as of this January, and we have been inseparable for all the years she’s been with me. This dog is my world, and so much of my home reflects that! I love my memorabilia with her, from photo prints to mugs.

I (surprisingly) did not yet have a pillow with her face on it, so I was very excited about what All About Vibe offers. I have a few weeks of work trips coming up that my little one cannot come to, and this pillow might help with the separation on my end a lot! The fact that the pillow is shaped based on my dog makes it much more special.

Creating the pillow is as easy as possible; just upload the photo (it must be JPG or PNG, but that’s pretty common!), add editing notes (I asked for the leash to be removed), and then select the size. There is a mock-up that shows an approximation of what the image will look like, but since I wanted the leash removed, it wasn’t too accurate—but I trusted the process!

When my pillow arrived, I was blown away. The pillow was shaped so beautifully, matching my dog’s perky ears! That is probably my favorite part since her ears are the most prominent characteristic. The fabric is soft, velvety, and luscious; it feels high quality. The stuffing was also perfect; it was not too firm but not too soft that the pillow would lose shape. The seams are excellently done as well; I can truly feel the quality that was put into this product.

My only (minor) comment is that because the pillow can only be made in white, my dog got lost in the image a little bit. There was a lack of contrast, which I think those with white dogs should be mindful of. We lost a bit of detail in her coat in the reproduction. However, I am still absolutely obsessed with my pillow, which is probably my favorite pet-centric item now!

Conclusion

From your home decor to a fantastic gift for loved ones, the custom pillow from All About Vibe is a brilliant idea. Your beloved pet can forever be memorialized in a soft and comfortable pillow, which can be put in any room of the house or taken with you during travels. I can’t think of anything better!
