Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone seeking a luxurious and durable pillowcase for year-round comfort. The key benefit is the superior feel and breathability of 100% Egyptian cotton, offering a cool touch in summer and warmth in winter. A potential caveat is that the Oxford style, while elegant, may be slightly larger than standard housewife pillowcases. This Oxford pillowcase by Belledorm features a 200 thread count, a supersoft touch, and long-lasting durability thanks to its long staple fibres, measuring 51 x 76cm.

FAQs

What makes Egyptian cotton special?

Egyptian cotton is prized for its extra-long staple fibres, which result in a stronger, softer, and more durable fabric that is less prone to pilling and provides excellent breathability.

What is the difference between an Oxford and a Housewife pillowcase?

A Housewife pillowcase has a simple opening, while an Oxford pillowcase features a decorative border stitched around the edge, giving it a more formal and elegant appearance.

Is this pillowcase suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, 100% Egyptian cotton is a natural, breathable fibre that is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin, offering a soft and comfortable feel.

How often should I wash my pillowcase?

It is generally recommended to wash pillowcases weekly to maintain hygiene and freshness, especially for optimal sleep quality.

What does a 200 thread count mean?

A thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. A 200 thread count in Egyptian cotton signifies a good quality, tightly woven fabric that is both soft and durable.

Does the 7-year guarantee cover normal wear and tear?

The 7-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and faults that occur under normal domestic use. It does not usually cover accidental damage or wear and tear from excessive use.

Can I use this pillowcase with a memory foam pillow?

Yes, this pillowcase is compatible with most standard pillow types, including memory foam. The breathable cotton can help to mitigate some of the heat retention sometimes associated with memory foam.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using too much detergent and try using a fabric conditioner. Tumble drying on a low heat can also help restore softness.

Pilling or fraying after a short time

Check for excessive friction during washing or drying. Wash with similar fabrics and avoid harsh detergents. The long staple fibres are designed for durability, so this may indicate an issue with washing conditions.

Pillowcase appears too large for the pillow

The Oxford style has a decorative border that adds to the overall dimensions. Ensure the inner pillow is correctly placed within the case, and the excess fabric creates a neat, tailored look.
