9ft vs 12ft Maternity Pillow Cases: Which Size to Buy?

Measure the pillow, not the label

The most reliable way to choose a maternity pillow case is to measure the pillow you already own. A cover sold as 9ft or 12ft is designed for a pillow of that length, so the number on the label is only useful if it matches your actual pillow. If you are replacing a worn cover, measure the full length of the pillow from end to end before you order. A cover that is too short will not fit over the ends, and one that is too long will bunch and feel loose.

9ft vs 12ft: what changes besides length

The size difference is the main decision, but the catalog also shows different prices for the two sizes. Both covers are described as soft and breathable, so the choice comes down to fit and budget rather than fabric type.

• 9ft maternity pillow case: Designed for a 9ft maternity pillow. The 9ft white cover is listed at USD 8.83, with a catalog comparison price of USD 12.99. It is the lower-cost option if your pillow is 9ft.
• 12ft maternity pillow case: Designed for a 12ft maternity pillow. The 12ft white cover is listed at USD 10.94, and the light blue version at USD 9.74. Both have a catalog comparison price of USD 14.99.

What the listings do not tell you

The catalog does not list closure type, fabric composition, or washing instructions for these covers. If you need a specific closure or have a preferred fabric, check the product page or contact the store before buying. The absence of these details is not a sign of poor quality; it simply means you should confirm them if they matter to you.

Common questions about maternity pillow cover sizes

Can I use a 12ft cover on a 9ft pillow?

A 12ft cover is designed for a 12ft pillow, so it will be too long for a 9ft pillow and may bunch. Choose the size that matches your pillow.

Is the 9ft cover available in colours other than white?

The supplied catalog lists the 9ft cover in white only. The 12ft size is available in white and light blue.

How do I know which size my pillow is?

Measure the pillow from end to end. If it measures 9ft, choose the 9ft cover; if it measures 12ft, choose the 12ft cover.
