Pillow Sizing Rules of Thumb

When measuring pillows it’s good to remember that…

“Pillows are not Medical Analyzers”

So results vary

The following pictures show 18” x 18” manufacturer labeled pillows, as measured to a ruler [blue tape = 18”]:

Rules of Thumb:

  1. Look for a label, it should have the pillow’s size listed on it
  2. A pillow’s actual size can vary (plus or minus ) by an inch from that label
  3. So an 18” pillow may range from 17” up to 19”

But don’t worry; if you order the wrong size Pillow Style cover and case for your existing pillows we have the right size pillow inserts available on our accessories webpage.
