Pillow Cover and Insert Tips & Tricks

Hey there, guys! Today I'm sharing my tips and tricks for pillow covers and inserts! See how I style them on my bed, always going from largest to smallest!! My main tip is to always size UP for your insert - i.e. if you are using a 26"x26" Euro sham pillow cover, use a 28"x28" insert! It will fill out the cover better created more fluff and volume!
Here is a blog post all about my favorite inserts. Shop them here!

Watching you is like watching a show on HGTV! I am hooked!! Funny story, I screenshot and saved a bedroom pic on IG for inspiration and then today I was searching for ways to style a bed and ended up on your channel. I realized that your bedroom was the pic I screenshot lol! Thanks for all of the tips and inspiration. I’ve been learning a lot!

[@SBKLiving]

LOVE that!! Thank you!

Thanks so much!! I have a king sized bed and I am glad to know that it’s ok not to have your duvet or coverlets hanging. I have never been able to get the king size look because of having a king bed!! 🙏🏽

[@BuzzyBuzz-iw6cp]

Try california king for duvet and cover

[@saiz38]

Omg!! 1st time here...i love your channel,,, thank you so much for sharing!! 🙋‍♀️

[@richtree3162]

Thanks Much for tips...I love that you were straight to your caption.

Excellent video! I have a 22" leather pillow cover which I would like to stuff really full and tight so it can be sort of a lumbar pillow. Would I just use a 24" down insert - or would this be too soft and fluffy for the lumbar-style?

So glad I found your channel! I’m so obsessed with pillows. My grandma made the most beautiful settings on her bed.. I’ve taken on her craft🎉 Question: so if I want my pillows to have that snug fit. I’d buy a insert 1 size up from the pillows? Ty so much love your color combos 🎉🎉🎉

[@100mfp]

Good explanation and demonstration. Thank you!

[@kcardona09]

Thank you for sharing! Loved it!

[@graciiousgrace]

So glad I found your channel do you also size up for your duvet cover or is everything true to size? Also do you have a fitted sheet on your box acting as well.

[@barbarapaige6357]

Thank you so much, this was so helpful! Do you have any tips on how to keep linen sheets from wrinkling? I just invested in them and I hate having to iron them! Thank you!!

[@Sara.winter]

I can’t thank you enough for this info.

[@SBKLiving]

Of course!

[@lovelydiva06]

My question is what size throw pillow do you need to make a queen size bed look full edge to edge cause I currently have 18x18 and it takes 4 but I just want 3 but I still want it to look full edge to edge so I clearly need bigger size throw pillows but what size, I’m not sure if 22x22 or 24x24

[@mindyk5094]

Where is this deerskin pattern -kind of print cover from? Prettiest

[@southerngirlpearl]

What size insert do you use for a standard size sham?

[@jenlamont8339]

Hi! Can I ask what color range do you like to shop from for your bedding? You mix cool white with ivory, cream, maybe some taupe ??? Is there a tip you can share to make all the shades look good together? Thanks for the video!

[@kateunger766]

That’s exactly why I came to the comments! Hopefully she replies soon!

[@UIV7096]

Cool! Ty if someone is allergic to down will the alternatives still give that dent in the center ?

[@augustvukosovich4683]

Ty!

[@juanitabarreto6040]

Thank you for sharing. I was so frustrated with my pillows not looking full. Now I know I need to purchase a size up for the filler. For the coverlet do you purchase the size of your actual bed or a size down?

[@SBKLiving]

Of course! I suggest getting the size of your bed.

[@SBKLiving]

Of course! I purchase the size of the bed for a king. If you have a queen, size up!

[@glitterintheair94]

Loved the video! The links on the post no longer work for the sham covers.

[@TM-xc7he]

Very nice and informative. I’m thinking about putting a couch in front of my bed and I think that is how your room is setup?

[@SBKLiving]

A mini couch would be cute! I have two chairs. Videos of it on my Instagram and Tiktok ;)

[@Nna0720]

I am looking for 22x22 pillow insert. What filler material do you prefer? Where do you buy? I don't want to spend a lot. I need a set of 4.

[@ellemusilli8131]

Im really struggling to buy a pillow cover for a pillow insert from pottery barn that is 51cm by 91cm. I have googled my heart out. If any one knows what pillow cover to buy, I’d appreciate any help!

[@mistyhodge8175]

where are the pillow from? they are gorgeous

[@Tatixox]

More videos please♥️💜

[@jennypark8833]

Thanks for the tip! 🙌 can I ask where you got your bed? I am looking for a king bed with high headboard. It’s also hard to find high bed online :/

[@SBKLiving]

Of course - my bed details can be found here www.sbkliving.com/home/my-neutral-cozy-master-bedroom/

[@cjay233]

Do these same rules apply for sofa pillows? Thanks

[@lovendecor]

Hii thank you for this awesome video. What size pillowcase covers should I purchase for my 26x26 pillow inserts?

[@carmingo55]

From all reports always go 2 inches larger For 26x26 shams use 28x28 inserts

[@annkovacs8027]

I’m late here and through trial and error figured out how to get the perfect insert to cover ratio , you would need a 24x24 cover for your 26’ pillow inserts , you would think it would be to small nope it will fill it out perfectly

[@mariejof5942]

I love your content and your advices!! I would like to know if you would maybe have a solution for me, because my boyfriend is allergic to natural down and feathers in the pillows...would you know if there is some synthetic pillows from some brands that would keep the shape I want like you do? Thank you in advance 🙏🏼 I don't want my boyfriend to have any allergic reactions but I want good looking pillows on my bed hahahahaha

[@SBKLiving]

Thank you! Have you tried the down alternative? rstyle.me/+zm2E77tGNuCAOp0_HXT3kA

[@cv1638]

where can i buy affordable euro 26x26 cover for my couch

[@justjackie4444]

Love all hour tips you give! What is being used to cover your box spring? I need an idea to cover mine ☺️

[@SBKLiving]

I use a fitted sheet!

[@danap999]

Do you see any different between WestElm vs. Pottery Barn insert? I'm trying to figure out which one to buy. Great video! Thank you.

[@SBKLiving]

No - they are both standard.

[@lizzymepham7279]

Where is the cover from?

[@richtree3162]

💞

[@CC-hz1qm]

Wouldn’t turning it inside out be easier?😅

[@AK74469]

Hi so what the filling like is it ball fiber or feather ?

[@SBKLiving]

I prefer feather!

[@AyezalKhan123]

No new videos?

[@reemalkaabi3335]

So the covers should be smaller than the insert mmmm😅

[@lizharley5723]

that surprises me. I would have thought they should be the same size.

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

Why the new fad of creasing pillows in the center? It looks like a persons butt and legs standing on their head. It does not look inviting. Hmm maybe to some strange weird people. Is this some king of swinger symbol like the pineapple? Just looks a fad from HGTV.

[@janemariefuentes2988]

Fjafdrar duck pillows from ikea stinks! Even after washing drying and airing them out. Avoid them at all cost! Just threw mine coz the smell is just unbearable

[@nanastrippin2006]

Ok, I can't finish watching this, she may be great, but needs to keep her hands more still.

[@toosexysweet]

So, if my pillows are 27 in, should I do 26 in pillow covers?? Thku❣️
