Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals seeking a stylish and comfortable pillowcase that complements their bedroom decor. The key benefit is the luxurious feel and breathable comfort of 100% Egyptian cotton with a sophisticated Oxford border. A potential caveat is that the single pillowcase is sold individually, requiring multiple purchases for a complete set. This pillowcase features a 200 thread count, an Oxford style with a 5cm border, and is made from premium Egyptian cotton that is OEKO-TEX® certified.

FAQs

What makes Egyptian cotton different from other cottons?

Egyptian cotton has extra-long staple fibres, which means fewer, finer yarns are needed to create a strong, soft, and durable fabric. It results in a smoother feel and greater breathability.

What does '200 Thread Count' mean for this pillowcase?

The 200 thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. For this specific pillowcase, it uses single-ply, finely combed yarns, which creates a dense and high-quality fabric that feels superior to many multi-ply fabrics with higher claimed thread counts.

Is this pillowcase suitable for people with allergies?

Yes, the dense weave of the 100% Egyptian cotton is designed to be hypoallergenic and offers a barrier against dust mites, making it a good choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin.

How do I wash the pillowcase?

Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Iron on a medium setting if desired.

What is an Oxford pillowcase?

An Oxford pillowcase is a style of pillowcase that features a decorative fabric border, typically around 5cm wide, extending around all four edges. It offers a more traditional and decorative finish compared to a standard housewife pillowcase.

Does this come as a pair?

No, this product is sold as a single Oxford pillowcase. You will need to purchase multiple units if you require a pair or more.

What are the dimensions of the pillowcase?

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

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat cotton fibres. Line drying or tumble drying on a low heat can also help maintain softness. Ironing while slightly damp can restore crispness.

Colour appears faded

Wash inside out in cool water and use a detergent suitable for coloured fabrics. Avoid direct sunlight during drying, as this can fade colours over time.

Pillowcase opening gap is too large

The Oxford border design is intentional. If the opening feels excessively large, ensure the pillow is correctly positioned within the case. The fabric border helps secure the pillow.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the softness and longevity of your Egyptian cotton pillowcase, follow these care guidelines:

  4. Ironing: If desired, iron on a medium heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp to achieve a crisp finish. For best results, iron inside out.
