Pillow It earns its place in the superhive library by narrowing a repetitive modeling task — building pillows from arbitrary meshes — down to a few clicks, with automatic fuzz and materials handled for you and clean topology available when you're heading for a game engine.
Pillow It, developed by Boars In Rome, is a Blender add-on for turning any object into a pillow. You select your mesh, cut the seams, and the tool stitches everything together. It's aimed at streamlining the making of pillows for oddly shaped props, complex designs, and plushies, and at cutting down iteration time.
The add-on includes automatic fuzz, where you define the amount of hair generated for fuzzy pillows, and automatic materials that apply a simple material with a sheen setting when a pillow is created — you can also define that material beforehand rather than being stuck with the default. If you plan on exporting to game engines like Unity, Unreal, or Godot, it can produce clean topology. Built-in documentation is included.
Pillow It works with Blender 4.0 through 5.2, is listed as Blender Extension compatible, and is released under the GPL license. Boars In Rome is a Blender Dev Fund contributor, and 2% of the add-on's earnings go to the Blender Foundation. A demo video is available, and the listing bundles product updates and support from the developer.
Pillow It is best for blender users making pillows, cushions, and plushies, including props destined for game engines like Unity, Unreal, and Godot.

Pillow It applies automatic materials: a simple material with a sheen setting is added when you create a pillow. You aren't stuck with the default one, though, since you can define your own material beforehand and have it applied instead. The add-on also generates automatic fuzz for fuzzy pillows, where you define how much hair is created. Built-in documentation is included.
