Euro Pillow Layout for Different Bed Sizes
Just like with king beds, Euro pillows can completely transform the look of a queen bed. The right arrangement adds both comfort and style, making your space feel more inviting. Here’s the ideal layout for a perfectly styled queen bed.
King Bed Euro Pillow Layout
For a king bed, the classic setup uses three Euro pillows placed side by side against the headboard. This creates a full, balanced look while offering excellent back support for reading or watching TV. Pair our luxury cotton Euro shams with your duvet for a cohesive design.
Queen Bed Euro Pillow Layout
A queen bed typically uses two Euro pillows. Place them at the back, with standard pillows in front and decorative cushions layered last. This layered bedding with Euro pillows gives your bed a designer finish.
