Pillows take up several inches at the head of the bed, which is why stretched-out sleepers need more spare length.

How this calculator works

Needed length = your height + the spare room you choose. We compare it with standard lengths: Twin and Full 75 in, Twin XL, Queen and King 80 in, California King 84 in.
