Se’if 1א׳

סֻכָּה שֶׁהִיא גְּבוֹהָה לְמַעְלָה מֵעֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה, פְּסוּלָה, בֵּין שֶׁהִיא גְּדוֹלָה בֵּין שֶׁהִיא קְטַנָּה, בֵּין שֶׁמְּחִצּוֹת מַגִּיעוֹת לַסְכָךְ בֵּין שֶׁאֵינָן מַגִּיעוֹת; אֲבָל עֶשְׂרִים, כְּשֵׁרָה אֲפִלּוּ כָּל סְכָכָהּ לְמַעְלָה מֵעֶשְׂרִים, כֵּיוָן שֶׁאֵין בַּחֲלָלָהּ אֶלָּא עֶשְׂרִים.

The Laws of the Height of a Sukkah, 10 Seifim A sukkah which is taller than twenty amot is invalid, whether it is large or small, whether its walls reach the schach or they do not reach the schach. However, a twenty amot tall sukkah is valid, even if all of its schach is above twenty [amot] because its interior is only twenty [amot].

Se’if 2ב׳

הָיְתָה גְּבוֹהָה יוֹתֵר מֵעֶשְׂרִים, וְהוּצִין (פי' עֲנָפִים קְטַנִּים עִם הֶעָלִין שֶׁלָּהֶם) יוֹרְדִים לְמַטָּה, אִם צִלָּתָן מְרֻבָּה מֵחַמָּתָן, כְּשֵׁרָה; וְאִם לָאו, פְּסוּלָה.

If the sukkah is higher than twenty and הוצין (palms leaves) come down (into it) - if its shade is larger than its sunlit area it is valid; and if not it is invalid.

Se’if 3ג׳

סֻכָּה שֶׁחֲלָלָהּ יוֹתֵר מֵעֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה, וְתָלָה בָּהּ דְּבָרִים נָאִים וְעַל יְדֵי כֵּן נִתְמַעֵט חֲלָלָהּ, לֹא הָוֵי מִעוּט; וְכֵן אִם מִעֲטָהּ בְּכָרִים וּכְסָתוֹת, לֹא הָוֵי מִעוּט; וַאֲפִלּוּ בִּטְּלָם.

If the interior of the sukkah is higher than twenty amos, and one hangs pleasant things from it and because of that the interior is diminished, this is not (considered) a diminution. Therefore if it is reduced by pillows and blankets this is not considered a diminution, even if they nullify each other.
