Let’s Talk Bedding Blog Supercomfort.com

Welcome to the Bedding Blog from Supercomfort.com

Today is the launch for our Bedding Blog. It’s a place where I hope to share and discuss useful tips on what’s good, what’s great, and how to decide what to buy in bedding and more. Bedding and bed linens is an area in which there is almost infinite variety and the information or misinformation out there can be confusing.

Just today I had a client considering down pillows who asked whether I thought standard size or king size pillows were better. Considerations of cost aside, I looked at this as primarily a question of what would be more comfortable. Yes, king size pillows (20×36 inches) are 10 inches wider than standard size pillows (20×26 in U.S. specifications) and look more impressive when on a king size bed. But my personal opinion is that standard size pillows are more comfortable. With king size down pillows, there’s more space for the down to shift from side to side. With standard size pillows, the down has less room to shift sideways. If you have a king size bed and want pillows to cover the width of the bed for that luxuriant look you see in upscale hotel rooms, I’d suggest buying 3 standard size pillows and put them sideways. So what did my client buy? She bought the standard size pillows.

Cheers,
