2nd Trimester

I have a strange problem...(NBR)

We just bought a king size bed (SO excited).  This is the first time either of us has had anything larger than queen size.  We have normal pillows that we LOVE ($80 pillows that I can always find the day after thanksgiving for $20!).  I just opened up my new sheet set and realized the pillow cases are HUGE (long)  I could almost fit 2 of my regular pillows in one pillow case.  Im just kinda bummed because I dont want to go out and buy new pillows and I got really nice sheets so I dont really want to spend the money on smaller pillow cases (I guess I would get queen size if I decide to do this???)

  • Yes king size pillows are much larger.

    I would just use your old queen size pillowcases.

  • I put 3 pillows length wise on my bed when I made it till it was time to buy new ones then I bought king pillows. It fits.

  • BUY THE PILLOWS!!! You will LOVE king size pillows especially while pregnant. Our bed looked ridiculous with the little pillows. We also have a king and those are the basic building blocks of my pillow fort that I can't sleep without.:-)
  • Your king size sheet set came with king size pillow cases.  If you go buy new cases you should get the standard/queen size pillow cases.

  • We still use them on our regular pillows. Or use queen cases that are close in color?
  • I don't like king sized pillows so we have regular pillows on our king sized bed.  I have nice sheet sets too.  So I just fold over the extra fabric to make them smaller to fit a normal sized pillow.
  • If you can sew, cut them and sew a hem.  If not, get some hem (no sew, iron on) tape and do the same. 

    Side note-king sized pillows are so amazing!

  • I have a king bed too and hate king sized pillows.  I saved my king pillowcases just in case and bought pillowcases to fit out current pillows from the same line as our king bedding so they match.
  • I'm a cheapskate, so I'd probably use the king cases on regular pillows until thanksgiving, and then go buy the king size ones.  Or, go back to the old pillowcases, if they match.

  • So I can use old pillowcases I have because they dont match.  I dont want to buy king pillows because the pillows I was talking about that we LOVE and are normally $80 only come in the standard size and we are so picky about pillows that I dont want to try and find (and spend the money on) good king pillows.  I REALLY like the idea of just having someone sew them to size....GREAT idea!!  Oh and we have like 6 pillows or something crazy like that so we will have plenty to fill up a king bed.

  • You can get good King sized pillows at Bed Bath and Beyond for only $10.  They can last you unitl you can get the pillows you really want after Thanksgiving. 

    DH and I have a King bed and when when we buy new sheets we also buy two "standard" pillow cases to go with them, that way we have the two king pillows and then two queen pillows.
