{"id":491,"count":18,"description":"<h2>Which pillowcase size do you need?<\/h2>\r\nThe size stated on your pillow \u2014 shown on the sewn-in label \u2014 is what matters, not the width of your bed or your height. Your pillowcase should have the same dimensions as the pillow: a 40x80 cm pillow requires a 40x80 cm pillowcase.\r\n\r\nIf no dimensions are shown on the label, lay a well-fitting pillowcase flat and measure its width and length from seam to seam.\r\n\r\nWith large square pillows, part of the shoulders may rest on the pillow alongside the head. Narrower formats leave more space between the pillow and the shoulders. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/pillows\/\">Pillows<\/a> section explains which pillow height and filling may suit your sleeping position.\r\n\r\nCommon national formats include 80x80 cm in Germany, 65x65 cm in France and Switzerland, 50x75 cm in Italy and the United Kingdom, and 50x70 cm in Scandinavia. Two 80x80 cm pillows placed side by side require a bed width of 160 cm.\r\n\r\nFor further guidance on choosing the right bedding dimensions, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/bedding-sizes\/\">size guide<\/a>.\r\n<h2>All 27 sizes at a glance<\/h2>\r\nAll measurements are given in centimetres as width \u00d7 length. If your size is not listed, we will make the pillowcase to your measurements, provided it is technically feasible.\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec\">\r\n<p class=\"vs-spec__title\">Our pillowcases<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">Width or shape<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">Stated dimensions<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">30 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">30x50 \u00b7 30x60<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">40 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">40x40 \u00b7 40x60 \u00b7 40x70 \u00b7 40x75 \u00b7 40x80 \u00b7 40x90 \u00b7 40x120 \u00b7 40x145<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">50 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">50x50 \u00b7 50x60 \u00b7 50x70 (Scandinavia) \u00b7 50x75 (Italy, United Kingdom) \u00b7 50x80 \u00b7 50x90<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">60 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">60x63 \u00b7 60x70 \u00b7 60x80 \u00b7 60x90 \u00b7 60x100<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">65 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">65x65 (France, Switzerland) \u00b7 65x100<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">70 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">70x80 \u00b7 70x90<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">80 cm<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">80x80 (Germany)<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"vs-spec__row\"><span class=\"vs-spec__k\">Bolster cover<\/span><span class=\"vs-spec__v\">15 cm diameter x 40 cm length<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Pillowcase, pillow or cushion pad?<\/h2>\r\nThis page offers the pillowcase on its own, without filling \u2014 for a pillow you already own.\r\n\r\nThe filled pillow itself is available under <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/pillows\/\">pillows<\/a>. For a decorative cushion, you can choose a suitable <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/inner-cushions\/\">cushion pad<\/a>. The matching pillow or cushion pad can be ordered together with the pillowcase.\r\n<h2>Why choose a single pillowcase?<\/h2>\r\nSometimes only one pillowcase is needed: as a replacement for one you already have or as a second to alternate with. Every pillowcase can be ordered on its own. You are not tied to a fixed set and can choose the fabric and colour to complement your existing bed linen. A <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/duvet-covers\/\">duvet cover<\/a> can likewise be reordered individually.\r\n<h2>Pillowcases in four fabrics<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Percale<\/strong> is woven in a plain weave: the warp and weft threads cross evenly, creating a matte, dry surface. At 120 g\/m\u00b2 and 230 TC, the fabric is smooth and closely woven.\r\n\r\n<strong>Cotton sateen<\/strong> is woven from cotton in a sateen weave. The threads pass over several interlacing points, creating a smooth surface with a subtle lustre. Sateen refers to the weave, not the fibre. At 320 TC and 120 g\/m\u00b2, the fabric has a smooth, composed appearance.\r\n\r\n<strong>MicroModal<\/strong> is an especially fine quality of modal, a regenerated cellulose fibre made from wood. Also woven in a sateen weave, the fabric has a lighter, more fluid drape than our cotton sateen at 125 g\/m\u00b2. Learn more about the modal fibre we use on our <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/tencel-bedding\/\">Tencel bedding<\/a> page.\r\n\r\n<strong>Linen<\/strong> made from Western European flax has a matte appearance and a texture that can be both seen and felt. At 150 g\/m\u00b2, it is the heaviest of the four fabrics.\r\n\r\nRectangular linen pillowcases have a hotel closure \u2014 a folded opening without any visible fastening. Rectangular pillowcases in percale, cotton sateen and MicroModal are finished with a concealed zip.\r\n\r\nA fabric\u2019s appearance in the light and its feel are easier to judge from a sample than on a screen. Request <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/fabric-samples\/\">fabric samples<\/a>.\r\n<h2>The colours<\/h2>\r\nOur percale pillowcases are available in thirteen colours: Pure White, Cream Light Beige, Pearl Light Grey, Azure Light Blue, Aloe Mint Green, Sage Green, Malva Dusty Rose, Cherry Blossom Pink, Ochre Yellow, Denim Grey Blue, Forest Dark Green, Graphite Dark Grey and Night Dark Blue. Cotton sateen is available in Marble White, Taupe Greige and Black; MicroModal and linen are currently available in white.\r\n\r\nAs long as a colour and fabric remain part of our collection, the pillowcase can be reordered as a second piece or as a replacement.\r\n<h2>Layering different pillow sizes<\/h2>\r\nDifferent pillow formats bring structure to the head of the bed. Large 80x80 cm pillows sit at the back, with narrower formats \u2014 often used for sleeping \u2014 arranged in front. A small square cushion or bolster can complete the composition.\r\n\r\nUsing a single colour creates a calmer arrangement; combining two fabrics introduces variation through their response to light rather than through colour.\r\n<h2>Covers for special pillow shapes<\/h2>\r\nNot every pillow is rectangular. Our bolster measures 15 cm in diameter and 40 cm in length; the matching cover is currently available in cotton sateen and can be ordered like any other size.\r\n\r\nWe assess other shapes on request, including contoured neck-support pillows, positioning pillows and sports pillows. Send us a photograph, the width and length of the pillow, and your preferred fabric. For contoured shapes, please also include the height, curves and cut-outs; an existing cover is often the best template. We will assess the shape for technical feasibility and confirm the construction and price before you place your order.\r\n\r\n<strong>We do not charge a surcharge for custom sizing<\/strong> \u2014 the price is calculated in the same way as for the sizes available in our shop. For a special shape, we will confirm the price individually. Oliwia, our Atelier Concierge, will reply personally by email or WhatsApp. <a href=\"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/contact\/\">Enquire about a special shape<\/a>.\r\n<h2>Prices by fabric<\/h2>\r\nThe price depends on the fabric and size: a single pillowcase starts at \u20ac20 in percale, \u20ac22 in cotton sateen and \u20ac25 in either MicroModal or linen.\r\n\r\nWe do not keep finished bed linen in stock. Every pillowcase is made to order.","link":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/pillowcases\/","name":"Pillowcases","slug":"pillowcases","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":10,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
