How do you get to the warehouse pickup location? Here's a map of where it is located:



. As you can see, the warehouse is located at an easy to get to location, just off the highway by the Yorkdale/Dufferin exit. If you are traveling by car you will find it quite easy to find the warehouse since it is so close to the major artery of Toronto's traffic system - the 401.

Yorkdale Mall is a landmark in Toronto and we are 5 minutes away by car and 10 by public transport,
I would not recommend walking
The TTC buses 47B and 47C from Yorkdale,  and north from Caledonia and Lawrence  W. stop 90 seconds from our door at the Tim Hortons. ( we are on the West side of Caledonia along Bentworth where the bus stops)

All orders can be picked up, please advise us at time of order,  We do carry some stock on hand , we prefer to make the orders as they come in though.

Pillow form, quillt batts, polyester stuffing shipping rates

The most frequent question we are asked is: how much shipping does it cost to my location? For those that are technically inclined, we developed an intuitive instant quote system that calculates shipping to any location in Canada. It can be viewed at: http://www.nussopillows.com/order.htm?format=quote
This is what the online quote form looks like:
If you fill in your postal code in the blue box (either the big one at the top or the small one in the middle on the right) the program will now calculate the shipping cost to your specific postal code. Now, when you enter the quantities you want in any of the other boxes, the shipping cost will update automatically in the big blue box entitled "Your Order Summary". It will calculate the precise costs as well as the number of boxes it will take to ship your order to you. Roughly speaking, 25 pounds of merchandise will fit into a box. That means approximately 25 18" x 18" or 20 20" x 20" forms.

For a basic guideline, here's a quick rundown of what costs you can expect to major metropolitan areas for quantities of two boxes or more:


Toronto: $10.58/box
Montreal: $11.95/box
Winnipeg: $13.58/box
Calgary/Edmonton: $16.70/box
Vancouver: $18.98/box

Single carton shipments are slightly higher

Keep in mind, that if FedEx is delivering to a residential address, they will charge an additional $2.50/box surcharge. Also, the rates above are a guideline and should be used as a rough estimate only. For an accurate quote, please use the online quote form: http://www.nussopillows.com/order.htm?format=quote 

We ship all of our goods with FedEx ground, due their exceptional customer service and super fast delivery time. FedEx has been a reliable, steady supplier for us for many many years (over 30 I think dating back to the RPS days). Customers love the emails that FedEx sends out for the tracking number for each package, which allows our clients to conveniently track their orders as soon as they leave the warehouse. Additionally, FedEx offers us very competitive rates due to our long-standing relationship with them. It is part of our corporate philosophy to maintain and build strong mutually beneficial business relationships that assist us in all steps along the value creation chain.

What size pillow insert to order for your decorator cushion

The most common question asked is " If my cushion is say 18" x 18" what size pillow insert do I buy? " Now that we have an online chat button on our nussopillows.com we are asked that question more than once a day.

The simple answer is , it is a matter of personal taste. For a 18" x 18" decorator cushion 18" x 18" pillow insert or 20" x 20" insert pillow form will work.

Basically its the look you want to accomplish. You want to make sure the corners are nicely filled and if the cushion on the chair, sofa or love seat is being used for support a plump polyester look will not be comfortable.
 I would recommend a down feather insert either 18" x 18" or 20" x 20" again depends on the manufacturers.
Lets get past the technical stuff and then we will come back to personal tastes
When measuring make sure measurements are seam to seam, measured across the middle.
The following table is a guideline for the most popular sizes and what we suggest in a firm polyester filled pillow form, used for decorative purposes

Outer Cover Size
Pillow Insert Size
14" square
16" square
16" square
18” square
18" square
20 square
I want to stress again it is a matter of personal taste. ask your decorator to bring a sample of  various sizes and try them out. You will then have made a decision you will never have second thoughts about.   We  encourage our decorator or designer clients to bring in their customers cushions and try out the various sizes to make sure everybody is happy
The following youtube video form another manufacturer , will give you visual description of the above article
The example they use is a 24"x 24"but the message is the same.

What's the difference between pillow forms and cushion inserts

I often get asked what the difference is between a cushion insert and a pillow form. On our website we list both, which sometimes causes confusion to potential customer who are unsure what to purchase. The simple answer is that they are exactly the same thing - i.e. they are synonyms.

The reason we list both is that peope seem to know either one term or the other so we want to make sure that potential customers know what product we are selling. Other variations include cushion forms and pillow inserts, again all amounting to the same product.
