FAQs
What is an Oxford pillowcase?
An Oxford pillowcase is characterized by a decorative fabric border that surrounds the edges. It typically has a large opening on one side for easy insertion of the pillow, offering a more formal and decorative alternative to a standard housewife pillowcase.
What makes Egyptian cotton special?
Egyptian cotton is renowned for its long, fine fibers, which result in a stronger, softer, and more durable fabric compared to other cotton types. It produces a smooth, lustrous, and breathable material that enhances comfort.
Is this pillowcase suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the dense weave of this 200 thread count Egyptian cotton fabric makes it hypoallergenic and nearly impenetrable to dust mites, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.
How do I care for my Egyptian cotton pillowcase?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron on a medium setting. Do not bleach or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the cotton's natural properties.
What does OEKO-TEX® certified mean?
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means that the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It ensures that the product is free from chemicals that could be detrimental to your well-being.
Will this pillowcase shrink?
When cared for according to the instructions (machine wash at 40°C, low tumble dry), shrinkage is minimized. Significant shrinkage can occur with excessive heat during washing or drying.
How does the 200 thread count compare to higher thread counts?
Homescapes uses high-quality, single-ply Egyptian cotton yarns. For percale weaves, 200 threads per square inch with these fine yarns often results in a fabric that is superior in feel and durability to multi-ply fabrics with allegedly higher thread counts (e.g., 400).
Troubleshooting
Pillowcase feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can stiffen cotton fibers over time. Try re-washing with a cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to soften the fabric. Ensure the pillowcase is not over-dried in the tumble dryer.
Color appears faded
Ensure you are washing in cold or lukewarm water and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. If line drying, avoid direct, prolonged sunlight exposure, which can fade colors.
Pillowcase feels rough
Egyptian cotton can feel crisp initially. Frequent washing and use will soften the fabric. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions and avoid over-drying.
