Pillowcase and size Suitable pillow insert sizes Silk weight Closure
UK Standard / US Queen
50 × 75 cm (20 × 30 in)
50 × 75 cm or 20 × 30 in (approx. 51 × 76 cm) 25 momme Envelope closure
UK Super King / US King
50 × 90 cm (20 × 36 in)
50 × 90 cm or 20 × 36 in (approx. 51 × 91 cm) 25 momme Envelope closure

Both Classic and Oxford silk pillowcases use a discreet envelope closure, without a zip. Their 25 momme weight refers to the silk fabric, not the thickness of the pillow insert. Choose your pillowcase by measuring the pillow itself rather than relying solely on your mattress size.

Choosing the right silk pillowcase is simple, whether your pillows are sized in centimetres or inches. Our two pillowcase sizes are designed to accommodate both familiar UK dimensions and their slightly larger US equivalents.

UK Standard / US Queen – 50 × 75 cm (approximately 20 × 30 in)

Our UK Standard silk pillowcase fits both 50 × 75 cm pillows and standard US Queen pillows measuring 20 × 30 inches (approximately 51 × 76 cm). Both sizes fit beautifully, so there's no need to worry about the small difference between metric and imperial measurements. This is our everyday pillowcase size, suited to most UK single, double and king beds.

Two standard 75 cm pillowcases placed side by side span the width of a UK king-sized bed (150 cm).

UK Super King / US King – 50 × 90 cm (approximately 20 × 36 in)

Our UK Super King silk pillowcase accommodates both 50 × 90 cm pillows and US King pillows measuring 20 × 36 inches (approximately 51 × 91 cm). Again, both pillow insert sizes work equally well with the same pillowcase. This longer format is ideal for UK super king and emperor beds.

Two 90 cm pillowcases placed side by side span the width of a UK super king-sized bed (180 cm).

In short: You can choose by the size printed on your pillow, whether that's 50 × 75 cm or 20 × 30 in, 50 × 90 cm or 20 × 36 in. The matching Mayfairsilk pillowcase is designed to suit either measurement.

Cushion cover and Euro sham size chart

For a beautifully plump cushion, we generally recommend an insert that is slightly larger than the silk cover. The best fit depends on the filling: soft, compressible inserts can be up to 5 cm larger in width and height, while firmer, densely filled inserts may need a closer fit.

Cushion cover Cover size Recommended insert size Closure style
Square 40 × 40 cm (16 × 16 in) 43 × 43 to 45 × 45 cm Concealed zip
Large Square 50 × 50 cm (20 × 20 in) 53 × 53 to 55 × 55 cm Concealed zip
Euro Sham | Extra Large Square 65 × 65 cm (26 × 26 in) 68 × 68 to 70 × 70 cm Concealed zip
Boudoir | Rectangle 30 × 50 cm (12 × 20 in) 30 × 50 to 32 × 52 cm Concealed zip

Choosing the right cushion filling

Silk has a naturally smooth surface, so the quality of the insert makes a visible difference. For a soft, luxurious finish, our preference is for premium down or a well-made silk-filled insert. Fine kapok is another natural, plant-based option where available. Choose an insert with evenly distributed filling and enough loft to reach the corners without stretching the seams.

We generally avoid coarse, feather-heavy inserts beneath silk: quills and uneven filling can create little bumps that become more noticeable in close-up photography. If a particularly smooth, structured silhouette is the priority, a high-quality microfibre insert can also work well, although it is a synthetic alternative.

Styling tip: Start with an insert around 3 cm larger in each overall dimension, then go up to 5 cm larger for a softer, more compressible filling and a fuller look. For our 65 × 65 cm Euro sham, for example, a 68 × 68 cm or 70 × 70 cm insert can create a beautifully plump finish. Our Euro shams and decorative cushion covers currently feature a concealed zip closure for a neat, tailored appearance.

The Hummingbird pillowcase is Mayfairsilk at its most expressive. Finely drawn hummingbirds sit in a vivid mix of colour on 25 Momme Grade 6A Mulberry silk, so the print has presence without tipping into costume.

The silk has our soft-touch matte finish and a quiet lustre. It feels cool at first contact, then settles. Because silk creates less friction than cotton, it can help hair stay smoother overnight and is gentler on skin.

Classic envelope closure. Two sizes: UK Standard, 50 × 75 cm (US Queen), and UK Super King, 50 × 90 cm (US King).

Designed in London. Certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Packed in a gift box.

Sleep on it for 30 nights - if you don't love it, send it back.

The Mayfairsilk difference

More to silk than meets the eye

Momme (pronounced ‘mom-ee’) measures the weight of silk fabric. A higher number means more silk by weight in the same area of fabric. It is one part of the picture, alongside the fibre grade, weave and finishing.

Every Mayfairsilk pillowcase is made from 25 momme, Grade 6A Mulberry silk. Substantial silk, a beautifully smooth feel and our signature soft matte sheen; made for your nightly ritual.

Hummingbird Pure Silk Pillowcase

Our signature finish

A softer sheen. A modern kind of silk.

Silk needn’t have a high-gloss look. Our weave and finishing give Mayfairsilk its distinctive matte appearance, with a subtle lustre that catches the light.

Rich colour, a smooth hand feel and a relaxed, contemporary look; silk that feels as beautiful as it looks in your bedroom.

Customer photo review of Hummingbird Pure Silk Pillowcase

I am delighted with the pillowcase. I was advised by my hairdresser to use a silk pillowcase as my fine hair breaks so easily. My last one was not good quality & split very quickly. I thought, however, that I was buying a Mulberry pillowcase & that a tree was planted with every purchase, but Mayfair haven’t mentioned this...?

This silk pillowcase is sheer luxury! I love the feel of it against my face and so pleased that it does not crease at all. This is better quality than other silk pillowcases with 22 momme silk offered by other brands. As Mayfair Silk is a UK brand, I did not have to pay customs tax for multiple purchases. Thank you Mayfair Silk for an excellent customer service.

Bought as a present for my gorgeous wife.. Arrived beautifully presented, my girl loves it.. she says "it feels luxurious and looks really really pretty" We are now saving up for a duvet set.. the trouble for every man out there is, once you buy something like this you are actually making a rod for your own back because in the long run it will cost you a lot of money! you may end up having to start selling your own stuff!! BE WARNED..

The pillowcase are stunning to look at and bring a real sense of luxury to the room and sleeping experience. My husband was initially concerned sleeping on silk would get too hot but it's the complete opposite - feels super fresh, soft and wonderful! We both have our eyes on the fitted sheet next...!

Just purchased 2 Ivory & 2 hummingbird pillowcases. First time I’ve ordered & utterly delighted all round! Brilliant customer service, products arrived on time & beautifully packaged.
