FAQs

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

An Oxford pillowcase features a decorative 5cm border around the edges, giving it a more formal look. A Housewife pillowcase has a simple edge and an opening on one side for easy insertion.

Is 200 thread count good for Egyptian cotton?

Yes, for Egyptian cotton, a 200 thread count using single-ply yarns signifies a high-quality, tightly woven fabric that is soft, durable, and breathable. It offers a superior feel compared to multi-ply yarns at higher stated thread counts.

What does OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified mean?

This certification means that the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It assures that the product has been manufactured under environmentally friendly conditions.

Can I use this pillowcase with a memory foam pillow?

Yes, the pillowcase is compatible with most standard-sized pillows, including memory foam pillows, provided they are within the 48 x 74 cm dimensions.

How should I care for my Egyptian cotton pillowcase?

Machine wash in cool water (around 40°C) on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid bleach and use a medium heat iron if necessary. Wash separately on the first use.

Is this pillowcase sold individually or in a pack?

The product description indicates this is a single Oxford pillowcase.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce cotton's natural breathability. Air drying or tumble drying on low can help maintain softness.

Colour appears to fade.

Wash in cool water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. For subsequent washes, consider washing inside out to protect the colour.

Pillowcase is difficult to put on.

Ensure you are using a standard 48 x 74 cm pillow. Check that the pillow is not overstuffed, which could make insertion challenging.

Cons

  • Standard size may not fit all pillow types.
  • Percale weave can sometimes feel cooler, which might not suit everyone in colder climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply slip the pillowcase over your standard size pillow (48 x 74 cm). The generous opening at the end ensures a snug fit and easy placement.

Compatibility: This pillowcase is designed for standard size pillows measuring 48 x 74 cm. It is compatible with various mattress and bedding styles due to its classic Oxford design and grape colour.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and feel of the Egyptian cotton, it is recommended to machine wash in cool water (around 40°C) on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the cotton fibers and color. Iron on a medium heat setting if needed. Homescapes advises washing separately on the first use to prevent color bleeding.
