What size insert goes in 18×18 pillow cover?

20×20 insert
We generally recommend using inserts that are 2″ larger all around than your finished pillow size. For example if you have an 18×18 pillow cover, you’ll want to use a 20×20 insert. This will ensure that your pillow looks plump and luxurious. If the insert is too small, the pillow cover will look saggy.

Should pillow insert be larger than cover?

What size insert should I get for my pillow covers? For a full and plump look, choose an insert 2″ larger than the size of the pillow cover. For example: if you purchase a pillow cover that’s 20×20, purchase a pillow insert measuring 22×22.
