Pillow Protector Sizes Australia (Standard, European & King in cm)

Australian pillow protector sizes in cm: Standard 47 x 73, European 67 x 67 and King 45 x 92. Each is cut a little larger than the pillow it covers so the protector zips or closes over the pillow without compressing it.

Which pillow protector size do I need?

Match the protector to the pillow, not the bed. A standard 46 x 71 cm pillow takes a standard protector, a European square pillow takes the 67 x 67 cm protector and a king pillow takes the king protector. The protector goes on under the pillowcase, so the pillowcase size stays the same as it would be without a protector. Tontine makes anti-allergy, cooling and luxury protectors in these sizes; the Pillow Protector Buying Guide explains the fabric differences.

Why use a pillow protector at all?

A protector is the washable layer between you and the pillow. It keeps sweat, oils and dust mites out of the fill, which is what makes a pillow flatten and smell over time, and it extends the life of the pillow by years. Wash the protector with your sheets and follow the pillow protector care guide.
