Full details
This HOMESCAPES Oxford pillowcase in Brown is designed for individuals seeking high-quality, comfortable, and durable bedding.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this pillowcase?
The HOMESCAPES Oxford pillowcase measures 48 x 74cm (19 x 29 inches) and includes a 5cm border.
Is this pillowcase sold as a single item or in a pack?
This particular listing is for a single Oxford pillowcase. If you require a pair, please ensure you add two to your basket.
How do I achieve the best results when washing?
Machine wash at 60°C with similar colours. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Iron on a medium setting if needed. Avoid bleach.
What makes the fabric feel so soft?
The softness comes from the use of 100% finely combed Egyptian cotton fibres and a high thread count, which results in a smoother, more durable fabric that improves with age.
Can I buy other matching bedding items?
Yes, Homescapes offers a range of coordinating bedding, including fitted sheets, flat sheets, and other pillowcase styles, often available in the same colour range.
Is this pillowcase suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the pillowcase is hypoallergenic and made from pure Egyptian cotton, making it a good choice for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.
What does 'Oxford' style mean for a pillowcase?
An Oxford pillowcase typically features a decorative border (in this case, 5cm) around the edge, giving it a more formal and luxurious appearance compared to a standard housewife pillowcase. It also often has an envelope closure.
Troubleshooting
Pillowcase feels stiff upon arrival
Wash the pillowcase according to care instructions. It will soften significantly after the first wash and subsequent washes.
Pillowcase loses its sheen after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. Ironing on a medium heat setting while slightly damp can help restore the sheen.
Envelope closure is too loose
Ensure you have the correct pillow size for the pillowcase. If the pillow is smaller, consider using a pillow enhancer or a slightly larger pillow.
Pilling or bobbling after several washes
This is unusual given the quality of Egyptian cotton. Check that you are not washing with items that have rough zippers or Velcro, which can cause abrasion. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded.
