Homescapes Egyptian Cotton Oxford Pillowcase - Dark Grey

An Oxford pillowcase features a decorative fabric border around the edges, typically 5cm wide, giving it a more formal appearance. A Housewife pillowcase has a simple stitched edge with an envelope closure.

Egyptian cotton is renowned for its long fibres, which create stronger, smoother, and more durable yarns. This typically results in a softer feel and a more luxurious fabric compared to cotton with shorter fibres.

Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. A higher thread count generally indicates a finer, softer, and more durable fabric. Homescapes uses single-ply yarns, meaning their 200 thread count fabric is often superior to multi-ply fabrics with allegedly higher thread counts.

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification means that the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It guarantees that the product is free from dangerous chemicals.

Yes, the tightly woven Egyptian cotton fabric is naturally hypoallergenic and almost impenetrable to dust mites, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.

Machine wash at 40°C, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a medium setting if needed. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's quality and softness.

This specific product is for the Dark Grey variant. Homescapes offers this Oxford pillowcase in various other colours, including Cream, Yellow, Pink, Red, Black, and White.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoid harsh detergents. Using a fabric softener designed for cotton can help restore softness. Ensure it's not overcrowded in the washing machine or dryer.

Wash dark colours separately for the first few washes. Avoid exposing the pillowcase to direct sunlight for extended periods while drying, as this can cause fading. Use a mild detergent.

Ensure the pillowcase is fully opened and the pillow is aligned correctly. The Oxford border is designed to be decorative; ensure you are pushing the pillow into the main case section, not catching on the border.
