Home / How-To Guides | Pro Tips Previous / Next How to Accurately Measure a Pillow Cover

Pillow covers are measured from inside seam-to-seam and not from edge-to-edge for the most accurate measurement. To measure, remove the pillow cover from insert / filler, turn the cover inside out, lay the cover on a flat surface and measure from the inside seam-to-seam. If the measurement is taken from the front of the pillow cover side to side, the sizing will be smaller than the actual pillow cover size.

Steps to follow to measure a pillow cover (removable)

1. Remove the pillow cover from the insert / filler

2. Turn the cover inside out and lay on a flat surface

3. Measure from inside seam to inside seam (length + width) with flexible tape measure for a pillow cover size. Do not measure from edge-to-edge.
