Common questions
What size pillow fits a queen bed?
A queen bed (about 60 in / 152 cm wide) usually works well with two standard pillows, or two queen pillows for more coverage. Check the pillow’s listed dimensions against your bed width and how far apart you want them.
Is a king pillow too big for a queen bed?
A king pillow (about 20 × 36 in / 51 × 92 cm) can crowd a queen bed if you use two, because each is longer. Many people prefer standard or queen pillows on a queen bed, or a single king pillow for one sleeper.
Do pillowcase and pillow sizes need to match?
Yes. Buy the pillowcase to fit the pillow’s actual dimensions and depth. Sizes are not fully standardised, so check both listings rather than assuming a name matches.
