How To Guide: Pillow Size Combinations for the Bed
A bed is not complete without the perfect pillow combo, am I right?
Sometimes it can be tricky knowing what sizes of pillows to get to create a well-styled bed. Whether you like a the minimal look with one or two extra pillows to accompany your standard sleeping pillows or you like the whole shebang of pillows to don the bed, I’m helping you out with some pillow size combos based off of your bed size. I’ve included common sizes as a guideline, which can be especially helpful if you are looking to update or add to any existing pillows you have and want an idea of what sizes will work.
It’s also important to note basic sleeping pillow shams and Euro pillows can vary from retailer to retailer. Here’s how they usually measure up:
Standard sleeping pillow sham : 20 inches tall x 26- 30 inches wide
King sleeping pillow sham : 20 inches tall x 36 inches wide
Euro pillow : 26 x 26 inches
When it comes to lumbar pillows, you can find an array of sizes and while I only show certain lengths below, you can go longer or shorter based on the other larger pillow sizes you go with. For instance, a 16” x 26” lumbar pillow will look just as good as the illustrated 16” x 32” lumbar look below, so you’ll find some size variations just as with the pillow shams.
