FAQs

What makes Egyptian cotton different from other cottons?

Egyptian cotton has extra-long staple fibres, which results in stronger, softer, and more durable threads. This leads to a smoother, more luxurious fabric that is less prone to pilling.

Is this pillowcase suitable for allergy sufferers?

Yes, the dense weave of this 200 thread count Egyptian cotton fabric creates a barrier that is almost impenetrable to dust mites, and the OEKO-TEX® certification ensures it is free from harmful chemicals, making it a good choice for sensitive skin and allergies.

What does 'Oxford style' mean for a pillowcase?

An Oxford pillowcase features a decorative fabric border, typically 5cm wide, around all four edges. It also has a large opening at one end for easy pillow insertion, unlike a housewife pillowcase which has an envelope closure.

What does 200 Thread Count (Equivalent to 400 Thread Count) mean?

The product uses single-ply, finely combed pure cotton yarns. While the actual thread count is 200 per square inch, the quality and construction of these single-ply yarns result in a fabric that is superior in feel and density to many multi-ply fabrics that claim a higher thread count (like 400 TC).

How do I care for my Homescapes Oxford Pillowcase?

Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on a low heat, and iron at a medium temperature. Do not dry clean.

Does this come as a single pillowcase or a pair?

The product listing is for a single Oxford Pillowcase. Please check the product title or description if you are looking for a multi-pack.

What are the dimensions of the King Size pillowcase?

The King Size pillowcase measures 48 x 91 cm.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and have followed the recommended washing temperature. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes reduce the breathability of high-quality cotton. Try tumble drying on a low heat as recommended.

Colour appears faded after a few washes.

Verify that the washing machine is not overloaded and that the correct wash cycle (max 40°C) has been used. Avoid exposing the pillowcase to direct sunlight for extended periods while drying, as this can cause fading.

Fabric feels rough.

Egyptian cotton can feel crisp initially. Ensure you are washing it according to the care instructions. Repeated washing and gentle tumble drying can help soften the fabric over time.
