FAQs

What makes Egyptian cotton different from regular cotton?

Egyptian cotton has longer, finer fibres, which results in a stronger, softer, and more durable fabric compared to regular cotton. This leads to less pilling and a luxurious feel.

What is a 200 thread count? Is it high?

A 200 thread count, especially with high-quality single-ply Egyptian cotton, signifies a tightly woven, crisp, and breathable fabric. While higher thread counts exist, the quality of the yarn and the weave density are more important for feel and durability than the count alone.

What does OEKO-TEX® certified mean?

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means the textile has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.

Is this pillowcase suitable for people with allergies?

Yes, the dense weave of this Egyptian cotton pillowcase makes it naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, making it a good choice for individuals with allergies or sensitive skin.

How do I care for my Oxford pillowcase?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, tumble dry on low or line dry, and iron on a medium setting if needed. Avoid bleach.

Does this pillowcase come in a set?

No, this product is sold as a single Oxford pillowcase. You will need to purchase multiple units if you require a set.

What are the dimensions of the pillowcase?

While specific dimensions are not provided, it is designed to fit standard pillow sizes, with a 5cm decorative border around the edge.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. Line drying can sometimes make percale feel stiffer initially; tumble drying on low heat can help soften it.

Color fades after a few washes.

Verify that the washing machine is set to 40°C and that the pillowcase is washed with similar colours. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when line drying, as this can cause fading.

Pillowcase is difficult to iron smooth.

Percale is known for its crispness, which may include some natural wrinkling. Iron while the fabric is still slightly damp on a medium heat setting for best results. For a smoother finish, consider a slightly lower thread count cotton or a cotton blend, though this may compromise on luxury feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and comfort from pure Egyptian cotton.
  • Durable and long-lasting due to high-quality material and construction.
  • Hypoallergenic properties beneficial for allergy sufferers.
  • Elegant and classic Oxford design enhances bedroom aesthetics.
  • Easy maintenance and a crisp feel wash after wash.

Cons

  • Sold individually, requiring multiple purchases for a set.
  • Higher price point compared to standard pillowcases due to premium materials.
  • Percale weave can be prone to wrinkling if not cared for properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This pillowcase is designed to fit standard pillows. Simply insert your pillow through the large opening at the end, which is neatly concealed by the Oxford border.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard-sized pillows. The Oxford style is a universal design that complements most bedding sets.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C (104°F). It is recommended to wash with similar colours.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry for best results. Avoid over-drying.
  • Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting if necessary. Due to the percale weave, some wrinkling may occur naturally, contributing to its crisp feel.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach. Using bleach can damage the cotton fibres and affect the colour.
  • Dry Cleaning: Not recommended.
