Seidenkissenbezug 40x80: Which Size Fits a German Pillow?
Shop the Silk Pillowcase →Why 40x80 Is Common in Germany, but Hard to Find in Silk
The classic German setup often pairs a narrow 40x80 cm pillow (used alone or in pairs) with an 80x80 cm square pillow — two sizes that differ noticeably from the French or international standard (50x70 cm) offered by most silk bedding brands.
What Silkhouse Actually Offers Today
Silkhouse currently offers the silk pillowcase in 50x70 cm (standard rectangular) and 65x65 cm (square) — the 65x65 square format comes close to the German 80x80 without matching it exactly; we'd rather say so plainly than let anyone assume a size that doesn't exist.
| Requested Format | Available at Silkhouse? | Alternative Offered |
|---|---|---|
| 40x80 cm | No | No direct alternative |
| 80x80 cm | Not exactly | 65x65 cm (closest match) |
| 50x70 cm | Yes | Exact standard format |
Transparency That Prevents Disappointment on Delivery
Checking the exact size match before buying avoids the frustration of a pillowcase that doesn't properly cover a standard German pillow — better to know before ordering than after delivery.
