Standard pillow sizes – which one to choose?

In Poland, there are five basic pillow sizes:

🔹 40x40 cm – a classic decorative or auxiliary pillow, perfect as additional support while resting.
🔹 40x60 cm – a compact size, perfect for those who prefer lower pillows or for children. It fits perfectly on smaller beds and is a good travel option.
🔹 50x60 cm – a universal choice, suitable for both back and side sleepers.
🔹
50x70 cm – one of the most frequently chosen pillows, ensuring comfortable sleep regardless of the sleeping position.
🔹
70x80 cm – the largest size available, ideal for those who like a larger support surface for their head and neck.

How to choose the height of the pillow?

Choosing the right pillow height depends on several factors:

Sleeping position – People who sleep primarily on their sides should choose higher and firmer pillows (e.g., 40x60, 50x60, and 50x70cm) , which will provide adequate support for the neck and head. Those who primarily sleep on their backs will prefer medium-height pillows (e.g., 70x80cm ). People who sleep primarily on their stomachs should choose lower models (e.g., a flat 40x60cm) .
Body type – the wider your shoulders, the higher the pillow should be to provide adequate support.
Personal preference – some people prefer flatter pillows, others prefer more softness and volume.

Flat pillow for children - safety and comfort

For the youngest, the most popular solution is a flat pillow in the 40x60 cm size . It's tailored to children's needs, providing adequate head support without excessive neck elevation. It's an excellent choice for toddlers, as its flat design helps maintain a natural body position during sleep and minimizes the risk of spine strain.
