A 60x90 cm pillowcase fits a rectangular pillow measuring 60 × 90 cm. This large size is common in Switzerland and widely offered in French-speaking Switzerland. It sits between the more compact 50x70 cm and the large traditional pillow of 65x100 cm. You can choose between GOTS-certified percale and satin made of certified organic cotton, both made in Portugal.
Does a 60x90 cm pillowcase fit my pillow?
Measure your pillow lying flat from seam to seam, or check the label. If it measures 60 cm by 90 cm, this is the right size: a 60x90 and a 90x60 pillowcase are the same size; the order of the numbers makes no difference.
The size most often confused with it is 65x100 cm, the large traditional pillow in Switzerland. A 65x100 pillow does not fit a 60x90 pillowcase: it is 5 cm too narrow and 10 cm too short. Conversely, a 65x100 pillowcase is loose on a 60x90 pillow. If your pillow is smaller, look at 50x70 cm.

Percale or satin in 60x90 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 |

| Colours | several designs, two-tone or with trim | ecru, undyed |
| Closure | envelope closure (inner flap) | wood-look buttons |
