The 80 × 80 cm pillow in duck feathers and down
The 80 × 80 cm is the traditional pillow in Germany and Austria and the largest Zizzz makes, filled with 1150 g of duck feathers and down.
| Specification | Pillow 80 × 80 cm |
|---|---|
| Filling | 85 % duck feathers, 15 % duck down |
| Origin of the filling | feathers and down from European ducks |
| Casing | organic cotton cambric |
| Fill weight | 1150 g |
| Dimensions | 80 × 80 cm |
| Made in | the Black Forest, Germany |
| Certification | organic cotton, DOWNPASS, NOMITE |
| Care | machine, delicate cycle, tumble dry on low |
At 1150 g this is by far the most filled size in the range, more than double the 40 × 60 cm. Surface and bulk go together, and that matters most when it comes to washing it.
The casing is an organic cotton cambric: finely and tightly woven, it holds the filling in and at the same time forms a barrier against dust mites.
The six Zizzz sizes
| Size | Fill weight | Shape | Where it is the standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 × 60 cm | 550 g | the flattest in the range | children's beds across Europe |
| 40 × 80 cm | 750 g | narrow and long, takes little width | Germany and Austria, alongside the 80 × 80 |
| 50 × 70 cm | 750 g | the versatile rectangle | Scandinavia, the Netherlands and the UK |
| 60 × 60 cm | 750 g | a compact square | France and Belgium, as the smaller square |
| 65 × 65 cm | 880 g | a larger square | France |
| 80 × 80 cm (this size) | 1150 g | the largest surface in the range | Germany and Austria |
Filling, casing and certifications are the same in all six sizes: only the fill weight follows the dimensions. Which rectangle counts as the normal pillow is a matter of country rather than of comfort, so if you are buying from abroad, check which covers you already own before you choose.
Does this size suit how you sleep?
The height that suits you depends more on your sleeping position, the width of your shoulders and your mattress than on the size itself. Side sleepers generally need more height; on your front, a flatter pillow is usually more comfortable.
The 80 × 80 cm gives a lot of surface and a lot of bulk. It suits side sleepers and wide beds; on a 90 cm bed it takes up almost the whole width.
Square or rectangular is mostly a question of your bed linen and your habits. All six sizes at a glance.
Feathers or down: what is the difference?
Feathers have a quill. They are stiffer, they spring back and they hold the pillow in shape — the support comes from them.
Down has no quill. It is lighter and softer and moulds around you — the softness comes from it. Every Zizzz pillow combines the two in the same proportion, 85 % feathers to 15 % down. The filling in detail is on the down pillows page.
DOWNPASS and NOMITE
DOWNPASS covers where the filling comes from: traceability from the farm to the finished product, no live plucking and no force feeding. Why traceability matters.
NOMITE indicates that the pillow is suitable for people with a house dust mite allergy, thanks to the tightly woven cambric. The label says nothing about other allergies and is not a substitute for medical advice. What that means day to day.
How to wash a 80 × 80 cm pillow
Day to day, shake the pillow out and air it regularly; a cover protects it from perspiration and wear.
For a full wash: machine on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent, then tumble dry on low — check the care label for the washing temperature. The filling has to be dry all the way through before you use the pillow again; a few clean dryer balls help it regain its volume. Which bedding to choose with a dust mite allergy is on the blog.
Frequently asked questions about the 80 × 80 cm pillow
Will an 80 × 80 cm pillow fit a 90 cm bed?
It takes up almost the whole width. On a single bed a more compact size such as the 60 × 60 or the 50 × 70 cm leaves more room.
Can an 80 × 80 cm pillow be washed in a domestic machine?
It depends on the drum. With 1150 g of filling the pillow takes up a lot of volume once wet: check that the machine is big enough, and allow a long drying time.
Which cover does a 80 × 80 cm pillow need?
A cover of the same size. The 80 × 80 cm pillowcases come in percale and in organic cotton satin.
What does the DOWNPASS certification guarantee?
Traceability of the filling from the farm to the finished product, and the exclusion of live plucking and force feeding.
Is this pillow suitable with a house dust mite allergy?
It carries the NOMITE label: the tightly woven organic cotton cambric keeps dust mites out. The label says nothing about other allergies and is not a substitute for medical advice.
Where is this pillow made?
In the Black Forest, in Germany. The filling is feathers and down from European ducks.
