How to choose the right pillow size
There are many factors that play important roles for a pillow: cover material, filling, shape, odour, temperature, and size. Yes, size matters! The right size pillow not only functionally provides comfort, but also aesthetically pleasing.
Bed Pillow
You'll probably find 3 common sizes for bed pillows.
Standard - 20 in x 26 in (51cm x 66cm)
A standard size pillow fits well for a twin/single bed. Two standard size pillows will fit perfectly for a double/full bed, and also suitable for a queen bed.
Queen - 20 in x 30 in (51cm x 76cm)
As the name suggest, two queen size pillows are designed to fit the queen bed. However, queen size pillows will sit nicely side by side for a double/full bed.
King - 20 in x 36 in (51cm x 92cm)
Likewise, two king size pillows are ideally for the full look on a king bed. A king size pillow can also be set on a twin/single bed which will neatly cover the width.
You may not come to mind when think of other unusual pillow sizes and styles, but we've got you covered.
Body Pillow - 20 in x 54 in (51cm x 137cm)
Body pillow may not seen commonly in every home. It is significantly larger than any other sizes, that will fit across a queen or king bed. This style is designed to support the body, as it curve to fit your body's shape, makes it ideal for side sleeper. It is also a great choice for pregnant women who like to use under their bodies and keep them from rolling to their stomach or back.
Euro Pillow - 26 in x 26 in (66cm x66cm)
Euro pillow can be used behind the back or neck while watching TV or reading in bed. However, it is usually less of a support choice and more of an aesthetic one. It will create a sophisticated and formal look by stacking them behind the regular size pillows. Because of the square shape, Euro pillow needs a specialized pillowcase called Euro sham.

Throw Pillow
When it comes to throw pillows, there are variety of selections. Mostly commonly seen shapes are square, lumbar, round, bolster and ball.
Square pillow is the most popular shape, it usually comes from 16"x16" up to 26"x26". They are easy to mix-and-match with other sizes or shapes. We cover four sizes 18"x18", 20"x20", 22"x22" and 24"x24" in our brand.
Lumbar pillow does not have standard sizes, it usually comes from 10"x18" to 16"x26". When it is over 26", generally we do not considered it as a throw pillow. We cover two sizes 12"x20" and 14"x24" in our brand.
To achieve the full look, we recommend to use the insert 1"-2" larger than the cover. Especially for the square shape, always size up insert to plump your pillow. For the lumbar shape, you can use the same size or slightly larger insert.
Here's the size chart from ours:
18"x18" cover - 20"x20" insert
20"x20" cover - 22"x22" insert
22"x22" cover - 24"x24" insert
