Pillow Cover Sizing Guide

► ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE COVER (WHERE ARROWS POINT IN DIAGRAM ABOVE).

► Size options are listed with the recommended insert size, followed by the finished cover size in (brackets).

For example: If you are using a 18x18 insert, order "Fits 18x18 insert (17x17 cover)" and we will make your pillow cover to fit appropriately.

► If you have an old cover that fits your insert well, measure your old cover and compare its dimensions to the size chart below to find the closest size. The size chart is designed for knife-edge inserts only (inserts without a gusset). Contact us if you require assistance.

► Finished cover sizes are made smaller than the recommended insert size. For further explanation, please see this FAQ.

► For maximum accuracy, the posted measurements are taken at the interior midpoints with the cover inside out. 

► All covers are slightly contoured in shape and made with tapered corners for a professional appearance (no droopy corners!). For this reason, stated cover measurements are taken across the middle where the cover is widest (see green arrows in photo below). Do not measure at the edge from corner to corner (see pink arrows below) which will not capture the full capacity of the cover.

► Please allow for +/- 3% tolerance on measurements. Minor variances do not affect the fit. Our pillow covers are human-made and measurements may not be exact down to the millimeter.

FOR MORE HELP: Please review our Frequently Asked Questions, where you can find answers to the following questions:

► SIZING ADVICE: 

  • Our standard sizing assumes you are using a knife-edge insert with industry-standard filling (feather or polyfil) in good condition. Knife-edge inserts are sold by their length x width dimensions. Do not use inserts with a gusset, which will require a 6-sided boxed cover.
  • ► TIP: Be careful choosing a size if your inserts are old, because the filling may be compressed far more than the shell dimensions will indicate. You may need to go down a size if your insert has an inadequate volume of filling. Or better yet, purchase new inserts! A great looking pillow starts from the inside. All of our pillows are photographed on good quality feather inserts. 
  • Cover dimensions are of the flat 2-dimensional cover, measured across the middle where the cover is widest. Once you fill it with an insert, some of the height and width of the flat cover will wrap around the curve of the 3-dimensional insert. This means that visually speaking, the 3-dimensional stuffed pillow will not translate inch for inch from the size of the 2-dimensional cover, but will look smaller. Therefore, err on the side of ordering a larger size if you are on the fence between two sizes.
  •  

    After stuffing with your insert, the flat pillow cover becomes a curved object. The top/sides will curve away from your eyes, which will make the finished pillow look a little smaller than the flat dimensions.

    For example, this photo shows a 20 inch chair seat. A 22 inch cover can fit on this seat, because some of those inches are wrapped around the thickness of the insert.  

  •  TIP: If you are not sure of what size to use on your furniture, buy the inserts first, and arrange them on your sofa. This way, you will know if they are in proportion, before you order your custom covers.
