FAQs

What does 1000 thread count mean?

A 1000 thread count indicates that there are 1000 threads woven into every square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts, like 1000, generally signify a denser, smoother, and more luxurious fabric.

Are these pillowcases suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, they are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning they are free from harmful chemicals and allergens, making them ideal for sensitive skin and those prone to allergies.

How do I wash the pillowcases?

They are machine washable at 40°C. It is recommended to wash them with similar colours and avoid bleach.

What are the dimensions of the pillowcases?

The standard housewife pillowcases measure 48 x 74cm (19 x 29 inches).

What is a sateen weave?

A sateen weave is a type of fabric construction that creates a smooth, lustrous surface with a soft sheen, offering a silky feel against the skin.

Will these pillowcases get softer over time?

Yes, pure Egyptian cotton is known for becoming softer and more comfortable with each wash, provided the care instructions are followed.

Can I use these with other Homescapes bedding?

Absolutely. These pillowcases are part of a range designed to coordinate with Homescapes fitted sheets, flat sheets, and duvet cover sets in various colours.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff or rough.

Ensure the pillowcase has been washed at least once, as Egyptian cotton softens considerably with each wash. Check that you are using a 40°C wash cycle and avoid harsh detergents.

Pillow is not staying securely inside.

Ensure the pillow is correctly inserted and the envelope closure is fully covering the pillow opening. For very firm pillows, consider a slightly larger pillow insert.

Color transfer during washing.

Wash colored pillowcases separately for the first few washes, especially darker colors like green, to prevent dye transfer to lighter items.

Pilling or bobbling after several washes.

While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction in the washing machine or dryer can sometimes cause it. Ensure the pillowcase is not washed with items that have zippers or rough textures. Always follow the recommended care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Luxuriously soft and smooth feel due to high thread count and sateen weave.
  • Excellent temperature regulation, keeping users cool.
  • Hypoallergenic properties suitable for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.
  • Durable construction resists wear, bobbling, and pilling.
  • Easy to maintain with machine washability.

Cons

  • Requires a 40°C wash, not suitable for very high temperatures.
  • May require ironing for a perfectly crisp finish, depending on preference.
  • Premium material may come at a higher price point compared to lower thread count options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These pillowcases feature a simple envelope closure. To set up, simply insert your standard pillow (measuring 48 x 74cm or 19 x 29") into the pillowcase, ensuring the envelope flap is on the inside to keep the pillow securely contained.

Compatibility:

  • Pillow Size: Designed for standard UK/European pillow sizes (48 x 74cm / 19 x 29").
  • Bedding Sets: Available in a variety of trendy colours and can be coordinated with matching fitted sheets, flat sheets, and duvet cover sets from Homescapes.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry for best results.
  • Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting if desired. The fabric becomes softer with each wash, reducing the need for frequent ironing.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
