    The amount of small or large pillowcases you need is subjective to your bedding. On average we would recommend purchasing a spare pillowcase for every pillow you own, that way you can have a backup keeping your bedroom clean and fresh.

    Envelope-closure pillowcases feature a flap at one end, securely holding your pillow inside. This prevents slipping and provides a neat, tidy appearance without exposed pillow edges.

    Most pillowcases can be ironed safely. To avoid damaging delicate fabrics like silk, use a low-temperature setting or iron the pillowcase inside-out. Ironing gives your bedding a fresh, crisp appearance.

    Natural fibres like cotton or linen may shrink slightly after washing. To prevent shrinkage, wash in cool or warm water and dry on a gentle cycle or line-dry. Always follow the care label for best results.

    Matching pillowcases to your sheets or duvet covers creates a cohesive, polished look. However, mixing colours, patterns, or textures can add interest and a personalised style to your bedroom décor.

    • Oxford pillowcases have a fabric border or flange around the edge, adding an elegant touch to bedding.

    • King-size pillowcases (50cm x 90cm), suitable for larger pillows.
    • Square pillowcases (typically 65cm x 65cm), used for decorative pillows.
      Always match your pillowcase size to your pillow dimensions for the best fit.

    Pillowcases are commonly made from cotton, silk, linen, bamboo, and microfiber. Each material offers unique benefits:

    • Cotton is breathable, soft, and durable.
    • Silk is smooth, gentle on hair and skin, and hypoallergenic.
    • Linen regulates temperature effectively and softens with use.
    • Bamboo is naturally cooling and moisture-wicking.
    • Microfiber is soft, wrinkle-resistant, and affordable.

    Pillowcases should always be used to protect pillows. They extend the lifespan of pillows and prevent the accumulation of dirt, sweat odours, dust, and dirt mites.
