Have you ever looked at all of the available sizes and wondered which one is best for you? While it may appear difficult, there is a technique to pillow sizing, and we are here to help you understand it. Pillows vary in size and shape to fit individual aesthetic and comfort preferences. By adjusting the volume of fill, different pillow beds sizes can provide better comfort when sleeping. They also vary in size to accommodate different sized beds and pillow cases. Choosing the best cushion does not have to be difficult. Just keep a few things in mind, and you'll always get the appropriate size.

1. Know your bed pillow sizes to provide the most comfortable bed possible.

Pillows come in a range of sizes, most of which correspond to bed sizes. The Super Standard - also known as Standard/Queen or Jumbo - gives shops a size option between small and medium, allowing them to stock more varieties of bed pillows on their wall. Our Pillow Sizes Chart below displays the most common sizes for each style of pillow, but sizes can vary widely, so be sure to check the size if you need something specific.

2. Match your pillows to the size of your bed, or get creative

It may appear straightforward to buy a king pillow for a king bed, but you can actually use any or any size bed pillows on a king sized bed. A good rule of thumb is to match the pillow size to the size of your bed, but you can get creative from there. While there are fewer alternatives for a Queen or Full sized bed, there are hundreds of pillow combinations, so don't be afraid to experiment. Here are a few classics to get you started on discovering your own own style:

3. Do you have to be concerned about bed pillow case sizes?

Bed pillow cases come in two sizes: standard and king. The standard size is intended to accommodate three pillow sizes: standard, super standard, and queen. Fortunately, when sizing their cases, sheet makers accommodate all of the different manufacturer's differences and will err on the larger side, so our worst-case situation is that the pillow case will have more room than less.

Pro Hints:

• When you want your pillow to fluff and conform, buy a larger pillow case, especially if you have a gusseted cushion that is built for loft.
• When you want your pillow to retain its volume and height or to breathe new life into an old one, go smaller.
• Use the hotel method of tucking the ends of your pillow case in securely for added height and fullness.

4. Think about conformity for better comfort.

Some sleepers, mainly side and stomach sleepers, like to mold and compress their pillow up numerous times during the night so that it retains its loft and softness and adapts to their head. These sleepers frequently find that a king or even a queen-sized pillow has too much bulk and prefer a Standard or Super Standard size.

Others like to sleep with a bed cushion over their head to block out light and noise. These sleepers require a light, conforming cushion and would not likely select a king or queen size for this purpose. A softer pillow, such as one with all-down or down alternative fill (maybe one that is about to be retired), would be ideal.

5. Other dimensions are important for the best bedpillow experience.

Standard Pillow Size: These are the best sizes for sleeping and are what we recommend first. The disadvantage of a long pillow is that the fill can migrate to the ends more easily, and they are less squishable due to the increased volume, as previously noted. Some people like shorter pillows because they are more compact. These sizes also save money, so people who don't have a strong preference can go with the less expensive alternative.

The Queen pillow is a fantastic choice for someone who tosses and turns since it provides plenty of space on each side of your head. A huge pillow can also feel luxurious and contribute to a retreat-like atmosphere in your bedroom.

King Pillow Size: King pillows were created to accommodate the extra width of a King or California King bed, but they also work well in a twin bed if your sleeper tosses and turns. They are also useful as a back support pillow whether reading or working on a laptop in bed. A king cushion can be used as a shorter body pillow as well.

Euro Pillow Dimensions: With so many different sizes of Euro Square pillows to pick from, it's simple to find the perfect appearance for your bed. They are usually used for decoration and as reading cushions (whether we are reading a book or like to bring the laptop to bed). However, did you know that in several European nations, such as Germany and Holland, the 26" square is also used as a sleeping pillow? If you buy bedding while traveling, you may require a new pillow size.

Pillow Size Combination: Use a couple of sizes on your bed for a designer look: a larger size for your reading pillows (king, queen, or euro) and then layer the smaller size that you may want to sleep on in front. This not only meets all of your pillow requirements, but also provides for some interesting color and pattern combinations in your shams and bed pillow cases.
