How to choose
- Match your inner pillow. Pick the same nominal size as your pillow (e.g. a 160 × 50 cm pillow needs a 160 × 50 cm cover).
- Measure flat. Lay the pillow flat and measure length and width from seam to seam.
- Think about space. 150 × 50 and 160 × 50 cm suit most beds; 170 × 60 and 180 × 60 cm give the largest print but need more room.
Covers are measured flat; small tolerances are normal for sewn textiles.
Fit and fabric
Stretchy fabrics (2WAY and NEW 2WAY) hug the pillow tightly and keep the print smooth; Peach Skin and Plush have little stretch, so an exactly matching pillow size matters most. See the material guide for details.
Care
Turn the cover inside out and hand wash only (max. 30 °C). Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
