Product Information

Full details

This Homescapes Egyptian Cotton Oxford Pillowcase in Black is designed for individuals seeking high-quality, crisp cotton bedding that maintains its feel and durability over time. Its key benefit is the use of premium single-ply, super-combed Egyptian cotton, woven to a 200 thread count percale, offering a refreshing and long-lasting sleep experience. A potential consideration is its crispness, which may not appeal to those who prefer a softer, more yielding texture from their pillowcases.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the thread count and weave of this pillowcase?

This pillowcase has a 200 thread count and is woven in a plain percale weave using single-ply, super-combed yarn.

What are the dimensions of the pillowcase?

The dimensions are standard size: 48 x 74 cm.

How does this pillowcase differ from those made with twisted yarns?

This pillowcase uses single-ply yarn, which is generally more durable and becomes softer with washing compared to twisted yarns, which can sometimes become rougher over time.

Is this pillowcase suitable for sensitive skin?

Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, it is known for its breathability and softness, which can be beneficial for sensitive skin, especially as it softens with washing.

How many pillowcases are included?

This product listing is typically for a single pillowcase. You would need to purchase multiple units if you require more than one.

Can I use fabric softener with this pillowcase?

While not strictly necessary due to the quality of the cotton, a small amount of fabric softener can be used on a low heat tumble dry setting, but it's generally recommended to avoid them for percale weaves to maintain their crispness.

Will the black colour bleed?

To prevent colour bleeding, it is recommended to wash dark colours separately, especially for the first few washes, and to use a gentle wash cycle at a maximum of 40°C.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels too crisp initially

Wash the pillowcase before first use and several times thereafter. The percale weave is designed to soften with each wash, developing a more comfortable feel over time.

Colour fading after washing

Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (max 40°C) and avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Wash dark colours separately.

Pilling or excessive wear

Check that you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim or items with zippers that could snag the fabric.
