how to measure a pillow for a silk pillowcase

Remove the pillowcase and measure the filled pillow along its seams without stretching or compressing it. Record width and length in centimetres, then compare them with the available 50 × 70 cm and 65 × 65 cm formats. Country labels such as standard or queen are not precise measurements.

Measure the pillow, then check the opening

Remove the existing pillowcase and lay the pillow flat without stretching or compressing it. Read its size label first. Measure along the seams in both directions and record the two numbers. Do not remove the filling: an empty cover and a filled pillow are different objects.

Convert inches accurately

Multiply inches by 2.54 to obtain centimetres. A 20 × 30 in pillow measures 50.8 × 76.2 cm; that is not 50 × 70 cm. A 50 × 70 cm case measures approximately 19.7 × 27.6 in, while 65 × 65 cm is approximately 25.6 × 25.6 in.

What to do when the sizes do not match

Check the manufacturer’s stated fit and closure before buying. Do not assume that a smaller case will accommodate a larger pillow. SILKHOUSE currently lists 50 × 70 cm and 65 × 65 cm; if neither matches your pillow, choose another size or a compatible pillow.

04 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if a pillowcase is real silk?

Read the fibre composition. Satin names a weave and may be made from silk or synthetic fibres; it does not identify the fibre by itself.

Is 22 momme a useful weight?

Momme describes silk fabric weight. A 22-momme label is useful when it appears alongside an explicit silk composition, suitable dimensions and clear care instructions.

Which size should I order?

Measure the pillow itself. The available formats are 50 × 70 cm and 65 × 65 cm; US labels such as standard, queen and king are not exact substitutes for centimetres.

What should I check before paying?

Confirm the selected size, colour, quantity, care instructions, delivered price and return conditions on the product page.

SIZE GUIDE

Measure the pillow before matching a case

Remove the current case. Lay the filled pillow flat without compressing it, then measure along the seam from edge to edge for both width and length. If the pillow tag gives finished dimensions, compare those too. Measure the case opening and closure if you are replacing a fitted zip or envelope style. A country label such as “standard” or “queen” is not a measurement.

To convert a measurement, divide centimetres by 2.54 to get inches; multiply inches by 2.54 to get centimetres. This is an exact unit conversion, not a fit guarantee. If your pillow is longer than the listed case, choose a verified matching size rather than forcing it. Read our fabric-weight guide after confirming fit.
