Size guide for Pillows
Standard Bamboo Pillow Size
Choosing the right pillow size is the difference between waking up refreshed and waking up with a stiff neck. Our bamboo pillows come in one standard UK size, 50 × 80 cm, the most widely used size in British bedrooms.
Every pillow in our range is made with a 300 thread count bamboo viscose cover and a 100% microfibre fill. Breathable, hypoallergenic, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, and sold as a pair in 10 colours.

How To Choose The Right Pillow
Match Your Sleep Position
Our 50 × 80 cm bamboo pillows are designed to suit the majority of UK sleepers, offering everyday comfort for side, back, and combination sleepers.
Consider Your Support
The 100% microfibre fill is medium-soft by nature, supportive enough for alignment while remaining soft, pliable, and comfortable through the night.
Think About Fabric
The 300 thread count bamboo viscose cover feels cooler and softer than cotton, helping reduce friction against hair and skin.
Sold As A Pair
Each set includes two pillows, making them ideal for double, king, and super king beds, or for a pair of single beds.
What Bed Sizes Does It Fit?
| Bed Size | Recommended Use | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Single Bed | One pillow per bed | Balanced everyday fit |
| Double Bed | Two pillows, one per sleeper | Ideal pair layout |
| King Size Bed | Two pillows, one per sleeper | Clean, proportioned finish |
| Super King Bed | Two pillows, one per sleeper | Works beautifully as a pair |
Why 50 × 80 cm Works
Standard UK Size
Fits standard UK pillowcases, including Bamboo Haven 50 × 80 cm bamboo viscose pillowcases.
Well Proportioned
The right proportion for standard UK beds, neither too wide nor too narrow for a clean bedroom finish.
Works Across Beds
Designed to work as a pair on single, double, king, and super king beds.
Everyday Versatility
A practical, comfortable size that suits most UK bedrooms and sleep setups.
The Bamboo Viscose Cover
Cooler To Sleep On
Bamboo viscose helps draw heat away from the skin, creating a fresher and cooler sleep surface.
Gentle On Skin & Hair
The smooth 300 thread count weave helps reduce friction, which may minimise sleep creases and hair breakage overnight.
Hypoallergenic Cover
Naturally resistant to dust mites, making it suitable for sensitive skin, eczema-prone sleepers, and allergy sufferers.
OEKO-TEX® Certified
Independently tested and verified free from harmful substances, safe for all skin types including children and sensitive skin.
Caring For Your Bamboo Pillows
Gentle Wash
Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C on a gentle cycle to help maintain softness and comfort.
Low Heat Drying
Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Always ensure the pillow is fully dry before use.
Avoid Harsh Care
Do not bleach, dry clean, or iron directly on the bamboo cover.
Long-Lasting Comfort
With regular low-temperature washing, the bamboo cover maintains softness and the microfibre fill retains shape.
How To Choose Pillow Support
Identify Sleep Position
Side sleepers usually need more support, back sleepers need medium support, and front sleepers need a softer, flatter feel.
Consider The Fill
Our medium-soft microfibre fill gently supports the head while remaining comfortable and pliable.
Order With Confidence
Our 50 × 80 cm bamboo pillows are sold as a pair and suit the majority of UK sleepers.
