What are the standard dimensions of a bolster cover?

A 90 cm bolster is a common standard size often used for single beds, especially for single or children's beds. This type of bolster is ideal for providing comfortable support while remaining compact enough not to clutter the bed. For this type of bolster, it is recommended to opt for a pillowcase about 140 cm long. This size allows the bolster to be fully covered while leaving a margin of 20 to 25 cm on each side, giving a neat and balanced appearance.

A bolster pillowcase that is too short risks compressing the bolster, thus altering its softness and longevity. It could also create an uncomfortable feeling during the night. Conversely, a pillowcase that is too long may give a loose and messy effect. It is therefore crucial to find the right size to ensure good support and an aesthetic result. A perfectly fitted pillowcase guarantees a beautiful presentation of your bed while offering optimal comfort during your sleep.

A 140 cm bolster is ideal for a standard double bed, offering good support for the head and neck while adding an elegant touch to your bedding. A bolster of this size is particularly suited for those seeking both comfort and aesthetics. For this type of bolster, it is recommended to choose a pillowcase 185 cm long. This extra length allows the bolster to be fully covered while leaving enough overhang to create a draping effect or an elegant knot at the ends.

Choosing a pillowcase that is too short can compress the bolster, making it less comfortable and affecting its ergonomics. Furthermore, a pillowcase that is too long might not provide enough support and could move during the night, compromising your bolster’s comfort. A precise fit is crucial to ensure a neat aesthetic and to prevent the fabric from wrinkling or shifting undesirably.

A 160 cm bolster is a popular choice for queen size beds, offering good support while contributing to the overall aesthetic of the bed. This type of bolster is perfect for those who want to combine comfort with refined design. For a bolster of this size, a 200 cm long pillowcase is ideal. This size allows the bolster to be perfectly covered while providing a harmonious drape that adds an elegant touch to your bedding.

If you prefer a more elaborate finish, the extra length allows you to tie knots at each end, creating a refined and customizable effect. A 160 cm bolster is ideal for those seeking a touch of luxury in their bedroom while benefiting from the necessary support during sleep.
