A 240 × 260 cm duvet cover fits an extra-large duvet of exactly that size. At Zizzz this size comes in GOTS-certified organic cotton percale – so you can put together a complete 240x260 bedding set with matching fitted sheets and pillowcases.
For a 240 × 260 cm duvet, choose a 240 × 260 cm duvet cover. The size refers to the duvet and the cover – not to the mattress.
Who is the 240 × 260 cm size for?
240 × 260 cm is the largest of our double duvets: the same width as 240 × 240 cm, but 20 cm longer. It suits tall sleepers, beds 180 or 200 cm wide and long beds, and hangs down generously on every side.

Colours and designs in 240 × 260 cm
In percale, our 240 × 260 duvet covers are two-tone and reversible: white and grey, white and beige, grey and beige – plus a white model with a beige trim.
Why percale in 240 × 260 cm?
In 240 × 260 cm, our duvet covers come in percale only. Percale is a tight plain weave: each thread passes alternately over and under the crossing thread. At 220 threads per square inch it gives a fine, matt, breathable fabric – a real plus under a large duvet, where it is easy to get too warm – and it gets softer with every wash. All of them close with a zip, and the two-tone models are reversible.
Prefer a smooth, soft feel? Our écru satin is available up to 240 × 240 cm; see all our satin duvet covers. Still not sure? Take our short quiz: a few questions and you will know which fabric suits you.

GOTS-certified organic cotton
Our percale duvet covers are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. The Global Organic Textile Standard combines certified organic fibres with strict environmental and social criteria for textile processing, and checks the whole supply chain up to the finished product.
Care: washing, drying, ironing
Percale can be washed at up to 60 °C. Close the zip before washing. Ironing is usually unnecessary: shake the cover out well and hang it up, or put it straight back on the duvet when it comes out of the dryer.
Sewn in Portugal
Our duvet covers are sewn in Portugal, by a partner we know well and visit regularly.
