FAQs

What makes this pillowcase 'Oxford style'?

An Oxford pillowcase is characterized by a decorative fabric border that frames the entire edge of the case. This style typically offers a more formal and traditional aesthetic compared to a standard housewife pillowcase.

Is this pillowcase suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is made from 100% pure Egyptian cotton with a high thread count, which creates a dense weave that is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. It is also OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it's free from harmful chemicals.

What are the exact dimensions of the pillowcase?

The pillowcase measures 48 x 74 cm, which is considered a standard size for UK and European pillows.

Can I use this pillowcase with a different color duvet cover?

Absolutely. The cream color is neutral and versatile, making it easy to pair with a wide variety of colors and patterns for your duvet cover and other bedding.

How does the 200 thread count Egyptian cotton compare to other materials?

This 200 thread count Egyptian cotton offers a superior balance of softness, crispness, and durability. The long staple fibers of Egyptian cotton, combined with a high thread count, result in a fabric that is both luxurious and long-lasting, often outperforming synthetic blends or lower-quality cottons.

Is this product sold as a single pillowcase or a pair?

This specific product listing is for a single Oxford pillowcase. Other pack sizes or variations may be available separately.

What does OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification mean?

It means that the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. This certification ensures that the product has met stringent environmental and safety standards throughout its production process.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a low heat setting for tumble drying and consider ironing while slightly damp as per care instructions. Using fabric softener sparingly can also help.

Color fading

Avoid washing with harsh detergents or at temperatures above 40°C. Ensure the pillowcase is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods while drying.

Pilling or wear on fabric

Check for excessive friction during washing or drying. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded and that zippers or rough materials are not present in the same wash load.
