Types of pillows

Standard

Standard pillows usually measure 51 x 66 cm in Canada. Two standard sizes fit perfectly on a double or queen-sized bed and their dimensions will suit most sleepers.

King

King size pillows are the largest size available and usually measure 51 x 92 cm. Due to their size, you would need at least a queen size bed to fit two of these.

Euro

European pillows are square in shape and usually measure 66 x 66 cm. They are typically used for stacking and arranging and are largely decorative.

Down pillow

A down pillow is a luxury option that is made from quill-less feathers of a duck or goose. They are light, soft and malleable making them great to sleep on.

Memory foam pillow

The ability to keep their shape is one of the biggest appeals of these which has seen them become incredibly popular in Canada. They are also hypoallergenic which is a must for some.

Advantages of high-quality pillows and cases

Cheap synthetic stuffing doesn’t compare to high-quality options like feather down or memory foam. A premium option ensures a good night’s sleep and helps eliminate any aches and pains that result from physical strain. Another advantage of investing in a well-made product is that it will last you a much longer time, making them cost-effective in the long run.

How to choose pillows and cases that are right for you

When looking for the perfect set, think about your preferred thickness. If you like a lot of support you could add a few European styles to your set. Alternatively, a down pillow with light stuffing can lie flat on the bed. If you have trouble with neck problems then specialised memory foam could help you get a sound sleep. Once you’ve decided on the right choice for you, you can have fun matching and contrasting the pillowcases to your sheets, duvet, bedspreads or throws.

What is the standard size of a pillow?

The standard size you’re most likely to find in stores is 51 cm × 66 cm. If you’re shopping for duvet cover sets then this is likely the size that’s included no matter whether your set is for a single, double, queen or king sized bed.

How often should pillows be changed?

Hygiene is important, and changing yours regularly ensures you aren’t inviting unwanted dust mites or other allergens into your bed. The filling plays a big part here. Synthetic options should be changed every 1 to 2 years, foam can last 3 to 5 years depending on the quality, and down filling can accompany you for up to 10 years. Just make sure to wash them regularly.

How often should pillowcases be changed?

How often you change your pillowcase is up to you, but it’s recommended you do it at least every 10 days. We shed thousands of skin cells each day in addition to transferring sweat, oil and (in some cases) make-up onto our pillowcases as we hit the bed each night. If you invite your furry friends to sleep with you in bed, you might consider changing your cases and other bedding more frequently.

What’s the best material for a pillowcase?

Nothing beats the cool comfort and moisture-wicking properties of a natural high-quality cotton or linen fabric when it comes to pillowcases. Opt for a high thread count cotton sateen for a silky finish that will not only feel great but also help keep your hair looking smooth. Satin or silk pillowcases are higher maintenance material choices for those who insist on the ultimate forms of luxury.
