While we most commonly hear about standard and king size pillows, queen pillows can provide a size that fits your needs even better depending on your sleeping preference. Your pillow keeps your neck and spine comfortably aligned for better sleep promoting a more productive day and less risk of pain and discomfort that can come from uncomfortable sleeping. Take a look at what a queen pillow is used for and if it’s the right size for you.

How Does a Queen Pillow Differ From Standard & King?

A queen pillow is slightly longer than a standard pillow and designed to work with queen-sized beds. Typically, a queen pillow measures 20” x 30” which makes it 4 inches longer than standard pillows for a bit extra length which could provide additional head support. Standard pillows are usually used on twin, full, or queen beds as long as they are comfortable enough with adequate space. King pillows are usually used on king beds and any larger bed sizes for enough surface area. Queen pillows are made to fit queen beds perfectly, however it truly comes down to preference. If you sleep in a smaller bed but prefer more fluff to lay your head, a queen pillow may be better for you.

Benefits of a Queen Pillow

Queen pillows are a bit longer without being as large as a king pillow. While some may feel that standard pillows are too small, king pillows may seem a bit too long and be cumbersome to accommodate smaller bed sizes. That’s where queen pillows come in - the perfect middle ground between standard and king. While they are a bit longer than standard, queen pillows typically fit into standard pillowcases with a more snug fit.
