Homescapes Egyptian Cotton Oxford Pillowcase - Grey

Egyptian cotton has longer fibers, which results in a stronger, smoother, and more durable fabric. This leads to a softer feel and better longevity compared to standard cotton.

Yes, the crisp percale weave of Egyptian cotton is known for its breathability and cooling properties, making it ideal for hot sleepers.

OEKO-TEX® certification means the textile has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances known to be hazardous to human health.

The Oxford border is an integral part of the pillowcase. Follow the general care instructions for washing, drying, and ironing; specific care for the border is not required beyond standard fabric care.

It is generally not recommended to use fabric softener with high-quality cotton percale, as it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability and the crisp feel. Mild detergent is sufficient.

Check the washing and drying temperatures. Avoid high heat settings; tumble dry on low or line dry. Egyptian cotton can sometimes appear to shrink slightly if over-dried.

Wash dark colours separately for the first few washes. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded, allowing adequate water circulation.

Iron the pillowcase while it is still slightly damp. Use a medium heat setting and iron on the reverse side for best results.
