FAQs

What makes this pillowcase different from standard ones?

This pillowcase is made from 100% pure Egyptian cotton with a high thread count (330 single ply, equivalent to 500 twisted), a satin weave for a luxurious sheen, and an Oxford border. It's designed to offer superior softness, durability, and a premium feel.

What are the exact dimensions of this king-size pillowcase?

The dimensions are 48 x 91cm (19 x 36 inches) with a 5cm border.

Is this pillowcase suitable for people with allergies?

Yes, the pillowcase is hypoallergenic due to its 100% pure cotton material and can be washed at 60°C, which helps eliminate dust mites and allergens.

How should I wash the pillowcase?

It is machine washable at 60°C. For best results, tumble dry on low heat and iron on a medium setting if needed.

Will the pillowcase become softer over time?

Yes, like most high-quality cotton bedding, this pillowcase is designed to become even softer and more comfortable with each wash.

What does 'Oxford style' mean for a pillowcase?

Oxford pillowcases typically feature a fabric border stitched around the edges, giving them a more decorative and formal appearance compared to standard housewife pillowcases. This one has a 5cm border.

Does it come as a single pillowcase or a pair?

The product description specifies a 'pack of 2' for the Oxford pillowcase, implying it is sold as a pair.

What is the equivalent thread count mentioned?

The pillowcase uses 330 single-ply yarn per square inch, which is equivalent in feel and density to 500 thread count using twisted yarns. This method ensures a softer, more durable fabric.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent. The fabric will soften further with subsequent washes. Avoid using fabric softeners excessively, as they can sometimes reduce cotton's absorbency over time.

Minor wrinkles or creases after drying.

Remove the pillowcase from the dryer promptly to minimize wrinkles. If creases persist, iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp.

Color fading over time.

Wash with similar colors. While the dyes are high quality, repeated washing in hot water can eventually lead to some fading. Consider washing at a slightly lower temperature if color retention is paramount, though 60°C is recommended for hygiene.

Pillow doesn't stay securely inside.

Ensure the pillow is fully inserted and that the envelope closure is properly tucked. If the pillow is significantly smaller than the case, it may shift more. This case is designed for standard 48 x 91cm king-size pillows.
