PIllowcases to fit tempura pillows

Have just bought a new mattress and bought 2 tempura pillows to go with it. After putting the covers on the pillows I'm finding the pillowcases are a really tight fit and the pillow is quite squashed inside. My pillowcases are approx 50x72 cms and I can't seem to find any that are any bigger. Anyone else had this problem and have managed get larger pillowcases.

    I seem to be plagued by this problem too, in particular M & S pillowcases are a tight fit. I've found that those from Next are generally a bit more generous. Or you could try those with a cuff all around (I think they're called Oxford pillowcases) Dorma do a good range but are pricier.

    John Lewis do a good range of Oxford pillowcases and they are wider and longer than the ordinary housewife style. No idea if they would be big enough.

    Soak and sleep do large pillowcases and are great quality.

    Thanks for that Sarah1972 - I've had a look and you can get longer ones but the widths are all the same - I could really do with them being longer and wider - will keep looking

    There kingsize ones are 50x90 https://www.soakandsleep.com/terminology-sizing#bed-linen

    The actual Tempur ones are only 50x72 made to fit your pillow https://uk.tempur.com/accessories/luxury-bed-linen/tempur-fit-classic-pillow-case-UKCLPILCASE.html?cgid=luxury-bed-linen&start=1

    How about 56x86 ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-luxury-pillowcase-pillow-Cotton/dp/B0756BH274
