FAQs

What material are these pillowcases made of?

These pillowcases are made from a polycotton blend, consisting of 48% cotton and 52% polyester.

What are the dimensions of the pillowcases?

The dimensions are 48cm x 74cm, which is a standard pillowcase size.

Are these pillowcases suitable for sensitive skin?

The cotton content provides some breathability, but individuals with very sensitive skin may prefer 100% natural fibers. They are designed for everyday comfort.

How many pillowcases are included in a pair?

A 'pair' typically means two pillowcases are included.

Can I use bleach on these pillowcases?

No, you should not use bleach as it can damage the fabric fibers. Follow the care instructions for washing.

Are these pillowcases suitable for high heat drying?

It is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. High heat can cause shrinkage or damage to the fabric over time.

What does 'housewife' pillowcase mean?

A 'housewife' pillowcase has a traditional stitched closure, meaning it's fully enclosed without external buttons or ties, offering a neat finish.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are not using too much detergent and consider using a fabric softener on a subsequent wash. Air drying can sometimes result in a stiffer feel than tumble drying on low heat.

Color seems to fade.

Wash with similar colors and turn the pillowcase inside out before washing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Pillowcase doesn't fit well.

Confirm that your pillow is a standard size (approx. 48x74cm). If the pillow is oversized, this pillowcase may not provide a snug fit.
