Precious Pink Pure Silk Fitted Sheet

Our size charts make choosing the right silk pillowcases, sheets, duvet covers and cushion covers simple.

Find the perfect fit for your bed, whether you have a UK Single, Double, King, Super King (European Grand King) or Emperor (European Super King). Not sure of your size? Measure your mattress width and length, then match the dimensions to the chart below.

Bedding size chart

Start with your mattress size, then find the corresponding Mayfairsilk bedding dimensions.

Silk fabric weights (momme): Our duvet covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets and cushion covers are crafted from 22 momme Grade 6A silk. Our silk pillowcases are crafted from 25 momme Grade 6A silk, with sizes shown in the table below. All our silk is finished with our contemporary matte finish, loved by both men and women alike.

Silk pillowcase size chart

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.

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.
