What size is a standard pillow?

A standard size pillow is 50cm x 75cm (20” x 30”). A king size pillow, also called super king size pillow, is 50cm x 90cm (20” x 35”). These are the two most common pillow sizes.

Here's the scooms guide to pillow sizes:

KING / SUPER KING	50cm x 90cm (20” x 35”)	SHOP NOW
TODDLER	35cm x 57cm (14” x 22”)
SQUARE	65cm x 65cm (26” x 26”)
BODY	45cm x 150cm (18” x 59”)

OUR TIPS ON CHOOSING YOUR PILLOW SIZE:

Choose the pillow size that you find most comfortable - If you have a single or double size bed, then a standard size pillow will fit best. You may want a larger king size pillow if you have a king size or super king size bed.
A king size pillow and a super king size pillow are the same size, 50 x 90cm. These pillows are 15cm wider than a standard size pillow.
Children (not before 18 to 24 months) should use smaller size ‘Cot’ or ‘Toddler’ pillows - an adult size pillow may strain your child’s neck and shoulders.
Use square pillows as extra support when sitting up in bed or to stylishly decorate your bed.
Body pillows are long pillows, around 5ft long, that can be really useful during pregnancy to support your bump or after surgery to help make sleeping more comfortable.
A bolster pillow is long and narrow and usually firm. It doesn’t come in a standard size or shape. It’s used to provide back or arm support or to dress a bed or sofa.

How to choose a pillow?

Choose the best pillow by considering the pillow filling, the support it offers, the construction and the size. This will help you decide what the best pillow is for you.

How many pillows should you sleep with?

You should sleep on only one pillow. The right pillow should help your body maintain the ideal sleeping position throughout the night, keeping your head, neck and spine in neutral alignment.

Which pillow is best for neck pain?

If you wake up with neck pain or stiffness, and perhaps shoulder pain too, then it could be because your pillow is not properly supporting your head and neck. Your neck should remain in line with your head as you sleep.
