A 50x70 cm pillowcase fits a pillow measuring 50 × 70 cm. 50 × 70 cm is one of the common rectangular pillow sizes in Switzerland. It offers more surface than 40 × 60 cm but is clearly more compact than the large traditional Swiss pillow of 65 × 100 cm. Zizzz 50x70 cm pillowcases come in percale made of GOTS-certified organic cotton and in satin made of certified organic cotton. All are made in Portugal.
Does a 50x70 cm pillowcase fit my pillow?
Measure your pillow lying flat from seam to seam, or check the label. 50x70 and 70x50 cm are the same size; only the order of width and length is swapped.
This size is also used for some neck-support and comfort pillows. A 50x70 pillowcase is too narrow for a 60x70 cm pillow; Zizzz offers that size in satin.

Percale or satin in 50x70 cm?
Percale is woven in a plain weave and feels matte and cool. In satin, the threads float over longer stretches on the surface. This means fewer interlacing points, so the fabric feels smoother and gets its subtle sheen. You'll find the full comparison on our pillowcases page.
| 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 |
