The key benefit is the luxurious feel and durability of pure Egyptian cotton, which also offers benefits for sensitive skin. A caveat is that it is a single pillowcase, so multiple purchases may be needed for a full set.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of Egyptian cotton?

Egyptian cotton is renowned for its long fibers, which create a stronger, softer, and more breathable fabric that is also highly durable.

What does '200 thread count' mean for this pillowcase?

A 200 thread count with single-ply yarns, as used in this percale weave, indicates a high density of threads per square inch, resulting in a crisp, fresh, and high-quality fabric.

What is an Oxford pillowcase style?

An Oxford pillowcase features a decorative fabric border around the edge, giving it a more formal and elegant appearance compared to a standard housewife pillowcase.

Is this pillowcase suitable for people with allergies?

Yes, the dense weave of this Egyptian cotton pillowcase is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.

How do I care for my Homescapes Oxford Pillowcase?

Machine wash at up to 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a medium setting. Wash dark colours separately.

What does OEKO-TEX® certified mean?

It means the product has been tested and certified to be free from harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.

Does this product 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.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature (max 40°C) and avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the percale weave. Ironing on a medium heat can also help restore softness.

Colour fading.

Wash dark colours separately and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Use a mild detergent and ensure the washing machine is not overloaded.

Pillowcase does not fit pillow well.

Verify that you have a standard UK pillow size. The Oxford pillowcase is designed for a snug fit to keep the pillow securely inside.
