The Business of Pillowcases

 


By definition, pillowcases are for protection of your pillows from outside mess like stains, spills and other damages. Likewise, a good pillowcase needs to be breathable and fit your pillow perfectly, which allows you to sleep. 

Generally, the pillowcases have common sizes and the dimensions of the specialty pillows. This is important in the sense that picking up the right king size pillowcases is based on the size of your mattress. 

In general, too, the sizes of pillows and the pillowcases have the same width size (51 cm or 20 inches.) the length is where the case differs. Standard size has 26 inches, while the Queen size has 30 inches. 

These pillowcases are made to fit 

Standard size pillowcases are made to fit standard and queen size pillows. The extra material on one end can cover the longer length of a queen pillow and still look aesthetically pleasing. 

The small size makes standard size pillowcases ideal for pillows you can fit on twin and twin XL size mattresses. Two standard pillows can also rest comfortably side by side on a full or queen mattress. 

Two pillowcases 

Twin, twin XL, and full size bedding sets usually come with one standard pillowcase, but for larger sizes, like queen, king, and California king, the set will come with two. 

Another offshoot of the standard size pillowcase is the super standard size. While it’s not as common, the super standard size pillowcase is two inches longer to fit larger pillows. It can fit both standard and super standard pillows, but may be too small for king size pillows. 

King Size pillowcase 

The king size pillowcases are designed to go with King Size pillows. They are 10 inches longer that the Standard size. They are too big for pillows smaller than the King. Placed together, the two King pillows comfortably fit across the 76-inch width of the King size bed. They can also fit on the California King size bed. 

King size pillowcases are designed to fit king pillows. They’re 10 inches longer than a standard size and are too big for pillows smaller than a king. 

Side by side 

Side by side, two king pillows comfortably fit across the 76-inch width of a king size mattress. They can also fit on a California king size bed. 

It is possible to use two King size pillows on a Queen mattress, although they might be too tight. The pillows could hang over the edges of the bed. If you are a combination sleeper and have a Queen size mattress, it might be better to stick to the Queen pillows.  

Other pillows 

The body pillowcases are the longest and the largest among the lot. They are designed to fit over a body pillow. However, the one you need depends on the shape of your body pillow. Many body pillows don’t come with matching pillow case. 

The Euro-style pillowcases are designed to fit Euro pillows. These large square pillows measure 26 inches by 26 inches. They’re popular for decorative purposes. 

Throw pillows have various sizes, but are generally square-shaped and are used to elevate sections of the body.
