A pillowcase protects your pillow, and it is the piece of bed linen closest to your face. Zizzz pillowcases are made of 100% organic cotton in Portugal. You can choose between two weaves: percale (GOTS-certified, several designs) and satin (certified organic cotton, ecru). They come in six sizes: 50x70, 65x65, 80x80, 40x80, 60x60 and 40x60 cm.
Which pillowcase size should I choose?
The pillowcase is the same size as your pillow. Measure the pillow lying flat from seam to seam; the dimensions are often on the label too. Pillow sizes vary from country to country: 80x80 cm (square) and 40x80 cm (long and narrow) in Germany and Austria, 65x65 cm in France, 50x70 cm in Scandinavia. 40x60 cm is common for children's and travel pillows. A 65x65 cm pillowcase also fits a 63x63 cm pillow. To find out which pillow size suits you, read our guide Which pillow size is best for each sleep type?
| Size | For which pillow? | Percale | Satin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50x70 cm | Rectangular pillow – the usual size in Scandinavia | ✓ | ✓ |
| 65x65 cm | Large square pillow – the usual size in France | ✓ | ✓ |
| 80x80 cm | Very large square pillow – a standard size in Germany | ✓ | ✓ |
| 40x80 cm | Long, narrow pillow – the other standard size in Germany | ✓ | ✓ |
| 60x60 cm | Square pillow, more compact than 65 × 65 | ✓ | ✓ |
| 40x60 cm | Children's and travel pillows, small pillows | ✓ | ✓ |
Not every colour is available in every size: the available choice is shown on each size page. UK standard pillows (pillowcase about 50 × 75 cm) are not part of our range.
Percale or satin: which weave suits you?
Percale: matte, cool and hard-wearing
Percale is woven in a plain weave: each warp thread passes alternately over and under one weft thread. The result is an even, dense surface with a matte, cool feel that stands up well to frequent washing. Zizzz percale pillowcases have a thread count of 220 TC and weigh 132 g/m². They are GOTS-certified and have an envelope closure. They come in several reversible two-tone combinations and in white with a beige or navy trim. → All percale pillowcases
Satin: smooth, with a subtle sheen
In the satin weave, each thread floats over several threads before it is bound again. The surface has fewer interlacing points, so the fabric is smoother and gets its characteristic subtle sheen. Zizzz satin has a thread count of 276 TC, weighs 120 g/m² and is undyed (ecru). It is made of certified organic cotton. Satin pillowcases close with wood-look buttons. They come in 50x70, 65x65, 80x80, 40x80, 60x60 and 40x60 cm. → All satin pillowcases
| Feature | Percale | Satin |
|---|---|---|
| Weave | plain weave | satin weave |
| Feel | matte, cool, crisp | smooth, subtle sheen |
| Thread count | 220 TC | 276 TC |
| Fabric weight | 132 g/m² | 120 g/m² |
| Organic certification | GOTS | certified organic cotton |
| Colours | several designs, two-tone or with trim | ecru, undyed |
| Closure | envelope closure (inner flap) | wood-look buttons |
| Washing | up to 60 °C | up to 60 °C |
| Made in | Portugal | Portugal |
TC (thread count) is the number of warp and weft threads per square inch (6.45 cm²) of fabric.
Still unsure? Take our bed linen quiz: a few questions, and you'll know which weave suits you.
Envelope closure or buttons?
All Zizzz percale pillowcases, two-tone and with trim, have an envelope closure: a sewn-in inner flap holds the pillow in place, with no buttons or zip. The pillowcase goes on quickly, and nothing presses under your head. Satin pillowcases close with wood-look buttons.
How do I care for organic cotton pillowcases?
All Zizzz pillowcases can be washed at up to 60 °C. Wash them with similar colours. For satin pillowcases, close the buttons before washing. Fabric softener is not needed for cotton bed linen. We recommend changing pillowcases about once a week. How to clean the pillow itself depends on its filling: always follow its care label and air it regularly.
Frequently asked questions about pillowcases
What size should my pillowcase be?
The same size as your pillow. Measure it lying flat from seam to seam, or check the label. Pillow sizes vary from country to country: 80x80 and 40x80 cm in Germany and Austria, 65x65 cm in France, 50x70 cm in Scandinavia. 40x60 cm is common for children's and travel pillows.
Which pillowcase fits a 63x63 cm pillow?
A 65x65 cm pillowcase fits a 63x63 cm pillow. Zizzz offers it in percale and in satin.
Does Zizzz offer UK standard pillowcases (50x75 cm)?
No. Our closest size is 50x70 cm, which is around 5 cm too short for a UK standard pillow. Measure your pillow before ordering.
Is cotton satin the same as silk?
No. Satin is a weave, not a fibre. Zizzz satin pillowcases are made of organic cotton, not silk. The satin weave is what gives the fabric its smooth surface with a subtle sheen.
Do the pillowcases have a zip?
No. Zizzz percale pillowcases have an envelope closure: a sewn-in inner flap holds the pillow in place. Satin pillowcases close with wood-look buttons.
How often should I change my pillowcase?
We recommend changing and washing your pillowcase about once a week.
Are the pillowcases GOTS-certified?
Zizzz percale pillowcases are GOTS-certified. Satin pillowcases are made of certified organic cotton.
At what temperature should I wash organic cotton pillowcases?
All Zizzz pillowcases, percale and satin, can be washed at up to 60 °C.
Where are Zizzz pillowcases made?
All Zizzz pillowcases are made in Portugal.
