50x70 cm is the standard pillow size across most international bedding markets — it's the format the vast majority of households already own without even thinking about it.
Why This Format Suits Most Uses
Wide enough to fully support the head without spilling over, and compact enough not to overhang the bed frame, 50x70 remains the recommended default choice for a first silk pillowcase purchase.
| Format | Typical Use | Common Countries |
|---|---|---|
| 50x70 cm (rectangular) | Main pillow, default choice | International standard |
| 65x65 cm (square) | Single pillow or support | DE, CH, Nordic countries |
| Silkhouse weight | 22 momme, same for both formats | — |

The Safe Choice to Start With
Choosing 50x70 as a first silk pillowcase removes any risk of a sizing mistake, while still enjoying the same 22-momme weight as the other formats offered.
