Pillowcase Sizes Australia (Standard, European & King in cm)
Australian pillowcase sizes in cm: Standard 48 x 73, European 65 x 65 and King 50 x 90. A standard pillowcase fits the standard Australian 46 x 71 cm pillow with a couple of centimetres to spare so the case slides on and stays smooth.

Which pillowcase size do I need?
Match the pillowcase to the pillow size in the chart. Standard pillowcases fit every Tontine standard pillow, including kids' pillows, and are what most sheet sets and quilt cover sets include. King pillowcases are 17 cm longer for the 50 x 90 cm king pillow and will look loose on a standard pillow. European pillowcases are square. If you use a pillow protector, it goes on under the pillowcase and does not change the case size. See the pillow size guide for the pillow chart.
