Common Hotel Pillow Sizes
DOWNLITE sells thousands of hotels and resorts and frequently we get asked - what is the common size pillow sold to hotels? Based on hundreds of thousands of purchases the answer is that most hotels and resorts buy a Standard 20 x 26 pillow for usage in rooms. Typically an upscale hotel will bedscape so that the have a row of Euro pillows in the back against the headboard (A Euro pillow measures 26 x 26 inches) - then followed by a row of three double stacked standard size pillows.
This applies for the king size hotel bed - others like a queen still get a row of the Euro’s plus a row of two double stacked standard sized pillows. Very few hotels buy king size pillows for some reason - maybe it’s because they are so big.
The advantage of a standard sized pillow is that you can double them or trade a softer or firmer with your sleeping partner at a hotel.
When buying for home we are also fans of standard or jumbo sized pillows because you can offer more choices in bed - for example one soft pillow and one medium pillow.
