Pillows
English to Spanish

Hello,
I have translated "Pillows" (the ones you put on a sofa as a decorative element, not the ones you use to sleep) as "Almohadones" in order to avoid the word "Cojines."
Is "Almohadones" understandable in most of Latino speaking countries like Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela...
Is there another word to translate "Pillows" understandable in most of these countries?
Thanks in advance!

Just a suggestions to be a bit more descriptive..... The use of cojines is widely used as well

: Me inclino por esta opción, porque entiendo el dilema terminológico de la colega (no "suena" bien la otra palabra en el sur).

I reiterate what Juan Jacob and Cecila have said. The term you use depends on your target audience!
