Seidenkissenbezug 80x80: What Actually Exists in Silk
Shop the Silk Pillowcase →The 80x80, the Most Common Single Pillow Size in Germany
Unlike France, where the rectangular pillow dominates, a large share of German households sleep on a single square 80x80 cm pillow — a size that remains rare among silk bedding makers, most of whom calibrate production around the international 50x70.
Why No Silk Brand Exactly Matches This Format
An 80x80 cm square pillow requires nearly 30% more fabric than a 65x65, which significantly changes production cost — the structural reason why most silk pillowcases on the market stop at 65x65, Silkhouse included as of today.
"The exact 80x80 doesn't yet exist at Silkhouse or at most silk brands — the 65x65 remains the closest square alternative available today.

| 80x80 cm | About +30% | Very rare |
| 50x70 cm | Similar (rectangular) | Yes, standard |
While Waiting for a Made-to-Measure Format
If your pillow is exactly 80x80 cm, the 65x65 silk pillowcase will cover most of the surface without fully enclosing it — an imperfect but honest solution while waiting for a possible range extension.
