FAQs

What is the difference between Oxford and Housewife pillowcases?

Housewife pillowcases have a simple, plain finish with an internal flap to hold the pillow. Oxford pillowcases feature a decorative border (a flange) around the edge, often with a stitched edge like the 5mm marrow stitch cording on these.

What does '400 thread count' mean?

Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. A higher thread count generally indicates a finer, softer, and more durable fabric, provided quality yarns are used.

Is Egyptian cotton better than regular cotton?

Egyptian cotton is prized for its long, fine fibers, which create a stronger, softer, and more durable fabric compared to regular cotton. This results in a more luxurious feel.

How do I ensure the longevity of my pillowcases?

Follow the care instructions closely: wash at 40°C (30°C recommended), avoid harsh detergents, hang dry or tumble dry on low. Minimize washing with abrasive items.

What does Oeko-Tex certification signify?

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification means the textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health.

What is the guarantee period for these pillowcases?

These Soak&Sleep pillowcases come with a 2-year guarantee.

Can I mix these pillowcases with other bedding?

Yes, their classic white color and luxurious feel make them versatile. However, to maintain their quality, it's best to wash them with similar colors and fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Pilling or rough texture after washing

Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (30-40°C) and using a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or towels. Always hang dry or use a low heat tumble dry setting.

Color fading

Wash the pillowcases inside out and opt for hanging them to dry away from direct sunlight. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

This can sometimes occur with natural fibers. A light iron on a medium setting can help restore softness. Ensure the product is fully dry before ironing.
