Pillow Size Guide

There are range of pillow sizes in the UK. The most common are the standard, superking and junior pillows. A standard pillow measures 50cm x 75cm - it's the pillow size most people have in their homes. A superking pillow measures 50cm x 90cm, making it ideal for wider beds such as superking and emperor size beds. A junior pillow measures 40cm x 60cm and has been designed for young children. We also sell square pillows, perfect for adding extra comfort and style to your bed. They measure 65cm x 65cm.

Choosing the right size pillow for your bed is simple. If your bed is king-sized or smaller, we'd recommend choosing standard-sized pillows. If your bed is a superking or emperor size, we'd recommend superking pillows. Junior pillows are designed for younger children and fit toddler beds perfectly. Remember that babies under one year old should never sleep with a pillow.

The standard pillow size in the UK is 50cm x 75cm. It's the pillow size you're most likely to see in the shops and in other people's homes. Standard size pillows are perfectly suited for single beds, doubles and king size beds. The pillow width complements the width of these mattresses for a neat and inviting appearance. Choose from a wide range of standard-size pillows - such as our luxurious Hungarian Goose Down pillows, the best-selling duck feather and down pillow and the cosy but easy-care Soft as Down range. What’s the difference between oxford and housewife pillowcase? Oxford pillowcases and Housewife pillowcases have the same internal dimensions but with one small difference. Oxford pillowcases have a border around the edge of the pillow case, while housewife pillowcases have a sewn edge without a border. Learn more about the differences and background of these pillowcase names in our blog post. 

The superking pillow size in the UK is 50cm x 90cm. It's extra large, making it ideal for larger beds such as a superking bed or emperor size bed. Superking beds are 180cm wide, so two superking pillows will fit perfectly in this space, side by side. You can use superking pillows in smaller beds if you wish, but they won't fit as neatly. 
You can choose from a wide variety of pillow fills, profiles and firmnesses, all in a superking size. Our indulgent 100% Canadian Goose Down superking pillow is a true investment in your bedtimes, while our New Zealand wool superking pillow is renowned for its temperature-regulating properties. Remember to protect your superking pillow with a pillow protector - choose from our range of superking pillow protectors. 

Our square pillows measure 65cm x 65cm. They work beautifully on beds of all sizes and are best when paired with rectangular pillows. Although you can use them on their own, they work best when combined with rectangular pillows, adding extra depth to the head of the bed for a look that an interior stylist would be proud of. Add some scatter cushions - our duck feather cushion pads are the perfect filling - for the ultimate in style. 
Square pillows aren't just there to look good. They're very practical, providing a supportive surface to nestle into while you read or watch TV in bed. Choose between a square pillow made of easy-care microfibre or with our indulgent 80% Goose Down fill for extra luxury. 

Our body pillows measure 45cm x 150cm. They're suitable for all beds and have been designed to provide additional support for your body as you sleep. A body pillow is especially useful for those who find it difficult to get comfortable at night, such as expectant mothers or those with back and joint pain. A body pillow allows you to rest your body on the pillow in the places where you need additional support, letting you rest more comfortably. For this reason, body pillows are also ideal if you've recently had surgery and need to lie in a particular position.
