Size Guide<\/p>\n

Silk Pillowcase Sizes: Which One Fits Your Pillow?<\/h1>\n
<\/svg><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Pillow sizes change at every border. How to measure yours, what the standard sizes are across Europe and the UK, and which of Sensoire's nine silk pillowcase sizes matches each one.<\/p>\n

\n

Short answer<\/p>\n

A silk pillowcase should be the nominal size printed on your pillow, not a size up. In the UK that is usually 50 x 75 cm; in France 65 x 65 or 50 x 70; in Germany 80 x 80 or 40 x 80; in Italy 50 x 80; in Spain a 70 or 75 cm pillow takes 50 x 70 or 50 x 75. Sensoire cuts its plain silk pillowcases in nine sizes from 40 x 40 to 80 x 80 cm, in 19 and 22 momme, so the common European and British pillows all have an exact match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Key takeaways<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Measure the pillow, not the old pillowcase: cases stretch and shrink, the pillow's nominal size is the reference.<\/li>\n
  2. Buy the exact nominal size. A case cut larger slides and creases; a case cut smaller strains the seams and the envelope flap will not close.<\/li>\n
  3. Nine sizes cover the standard pillows of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK: 40 x 40, 40 x 60, 40 x 80, 50 x 70, 50 x 75, 50 x 80, 60 x 60, 65 x 65 and 80 x 80 cm.<\/li>\n
  4. An Oxford flange sits outside the pillow area, so it does not change the size you order. Choose closure and momme after the size, never before.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
