Our size guide
Don't worry, it's very simple. The size of your pillowcase depends on the size of your pillows. No calculations needed, no headaches: they are sold in two standard sizes—square or rectangular. It’s easy to choose between 65 x 65 cm or 50 x 70 cm pillowcases!
The dimensions given are for the pillowcase itself, that is, the inner edge-to-edge measurement. This does not include any decorative borders.
For plump pillows, if you do not want a compressed look, we recommend choosing a pillowcase that is 4 to 5 cm larger on one side. If you are unsure, contact the maker of your pillow who will be able to advise you on the right size to choose.
Some makers offer special pillow sizes, especially for children, travel pillows or certain ergonomic pillows. For these, Embrin also offers made-to-measure pillowcases. Please note: at Embrin, as with most suppliers, made-to-measure orders cannot be returned or exchanged.
