Choosing the Right Pillowcase Size
Pillowcase sizing is often confusing because the naming convention relates to mattress size, not pillow size. Understanding the actual dimensions ensures a proper fit that maximizes the benefits of silk.
Standard vs Queen vs King Dimensions
Standard and queen pillowcases are typically the same size: 20 by 30 inches. Some manufacturers make standard slightly smaller at 20 by 26 inches, but POSHEY queen pillowcases at 20 by 30 accommodate both sizes comfortably. King pillowcases are 20 by 36 inches. The sizing is based on your pillow dimensions, not your mattress size - a queen bed can use any pillow size.
Why Fit Matters for Silk
A properly fitted silk pillowcase lies smooth against your face. Excess fabric bunches and creates the same compression wrinkles that silk is designed to prevent. Too tight and the silk stretches, reducing its longevity. POSHEY queen pillowcases are designed with the precise dimensional tolerance to maintain a smooth, wrinkle-free sleep surface for standard and queen pillows.
Envelope Closure Design
POSHEY uses an envelope closure rather than a zipper. Zippers add a hard edge that can press into skin and hair, undermining the low-friction benefit of silk. Metal zippers can also snag silk during washing. The envelope fold-over design keeps the pillow securely enclosed while maintaining an uninterrupted silk surface on all contact areas.
