Pillowcases in standard, king and European sizes

Pillowcase sizing can feel like a bit of a puzzle but it’s actually pretty simple. Standard pillowcases (75cm x 50cm) suit the majority of the regular pillows you’d use on single, double and queen beds. King pillowcases (91cm x 51cm) are made to fit the longer pillows you’ll find on king and super king beds - they are less common. Then square European pillowcases are 65cm x 65cm, generally placed at the back of your cushion stack, behind your sleeping pillows. European pillows are an easy way to add a pop of colour if you want a bonus bit of character on your bed (plus, they sound kind of regal, which is a vibe you deserve). 

Like the rest of the Bonny range, every pillowcase we offer is 100% GOTS-certified cotton percale. And if there’s one place to invest in quality materials, it’s the thing your face is pressed up against for eight hours a night. Percale is nice and breathable, while matte doesn’t trap heat. The Bonny design also means your pillow will stay tucked nicely in its case, rather than doing any pillow peeking. 

If you love a consistent look, match your pillowcases to your quilt cover, or have a play with two different tones across your sleeping pillows and your Euros. This can add a bit of depth as well as a statement to your bed. If you’re buying Bonny for your whole bed, you can build your combo and get everything in one go - plus, if you spend $300 on sheets and pillowcases, we’ll whack off 10%.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all
What size pillowcase do I need?

Standard pillowcases fit most regular Australian sleeping pillows. King pillowcases fit the longer pillows you’ll typically see on king and super king beds, while Euros are the large square cushions at the back of your pillow stack. If you’re not sure what you’re working with, check your pillow’s label or measure it flat.

What is a European pillowcase?

A European pillowcase is a cover for a 65cm x 65cm square pillow, and they’re usually placed upright against the bedhead, behind your sleeping pillows. Most people love two Euros on their beds, but three is also a great choice.

Are pillowcases sold in pairs?

Our standard and king pillowcases come as a pair, but our European pillowcases are sold individually.

Will a king pillowcase fit a standard pillow?

King pillowcases will fit a standard pillow. But our take? It’s going to look a little whacky and have extra fabric flapping around - no one needs that. Keep things neat and simple by matching your case to your pillow - standard for standard, king for king.

How often should I wash my pillowcases?

Washing your pillowcases on a weekly cadence is what we recommend - even if you’re clean as a whistle when you hop into bed. Our pillowcases pick up all the stunning skin oils and hair products faster than your sheets and doona cover, so they need to be washed regularly. To get a great lifespan out of your pillowcases, wash them on cold, skip the fabric softener (it impacts breathability), and tumble dry on low.
