The Luxury of a King Size Pillowcase

Treat yourself to the luxury of a king size pillowcase. Larger pillowcases are a comfortable and upscale way to provide a modern look while giving yourself the gift of more space and support. While they are usually placed on king-sized beds, known to be about 16 inches wider than a queen sized bed, these pillows make a bold design statement against any size frame. Discover a selection of king pillowcases that is just as stylish as standard versions. With choices like Belgian flax linen, quilting or a range of beautiful subdued earth tones, you can find the king size pillowcase that's right for your bed.

What is a King Size Pillowcase?

A king size pillowcase is a fabric cover that goes over a pillow insert in proportions that are scaled for a king-sized bed frame and mattress. The pillow insert is the fluffy part of the pillow, while the case is the part that you change every few days.

  • Your king pillowcase is designed similarly to the standard pillowcases you may already have at home. Featuring a side opening or an envelope opening in the back, you can focus on the color, pattern or other design of the cover's front.
  • Pillowcases have knife edges, just like many of bed and throw pillows. These popular decorative edges are still in proportion with the pillow. They're just scaled larger.
  • These pillows may be fluffier or more dense as a result of their increased scale. In some bedrooms, that means you may still want a pillow mix to accommodate different sleeping style preferences.

Choosing Bigger Pillowcases

Choosing bigger pillowcases allows you more room for the pillows that truly suit your bed. Upgrading to a king-size bed is a great way to create more room for slumber or to put the finishing touches on a grand-scale bedroom.

  • When you have a substantial bed frame, like a king or California king size, bigger pillows are a must.
  • Standard pillows may look too small here or you may require so many of them, it makes more sense to streamline.
  • Beds with lots of high-design details look best with larger pillows. For example, a canopy bed or a dramatic, chunky platform all bring drama that deserves the right bedding.
  • If your bedding includes a large-scale pattern, a king size pillowcase allows you to show off your design selection.
