Step 1: How to style pillows on your bed

Consider sleeping pillows 20" x 26" for styling your bed.

Provide at least an 18" visible headboard from the top of the mattress for providing minimum backing of placing the sleeping pillows.

Consider euro throw pillows 26" x 26" for styling your bed.

If you plan to use euro throw pillows for decorating your bed, a minimum of 24" visible headboard is necessary for the backing.

Step 2: Consider your bedtime routine.

Do you love reading in bed? Do you scroll through Instagram, Facebook, or watch TV in bed before going to sleep?

A minimum 26" visible headboard is required while leaning up against it.
