More about Pillowcases
Choose pillowcases that work with your bedding
A pillowcase is the outer cover for a pillow. It gives the head of your bed a different colour while separating the pillow filling from daily contact with the fabric. Begin with the correct dimensions, then compare materials and closures. If you want a coordinated pair for a double bed, check whether the product is sold individually or as a two-piece pack. Similar product names do not always mean identical package contents.
Measure the pillow before ordering
Measure your pillow width and length or read its size label. A rectangular pillow needs a different case from a square one. Choose the stated dimensions that match and check how the opening closes, such as an envelope flap or another fastening. A decorative border may sit outside the actual pillow compartment. Read the specifications rather than judging the usable size from a product photograph alone.
| Measurement | What to check |
|---|---|
| Width and length | Match the pillow label to the case size |
| Closure | Check envelope flap or other closure |
| Quantity | Single case or multiple cases per pack |
Compare fibres and fabric finishes
Read the complete composition for each pillowcase. Bamboo-labelled textiles may contain viscose derived from bamboo or a fibre blend. Satin describes a weave and does not automatically mean silk or cotton. Look beyond marketing names and compare the fabric description, finish and care requirements. A material name on its own does not establish health or skincare benefits. Your preferred texture and a practical washing routine are useful starting points when choosing.
Care and colour coordination
Follow the individual care label and wash similar colours together. Check drying instructions before using a tumble dryer. Keeping an extra pillowcase allows you to change it without replacing every item on the bed at once. Coordinate its colour with your duvet cover or choose a subtle contrast. When ordering several cases, check that every item has the required dimensions and that the pack quantity gives you the number you need.
Frequently asked questions
Is a pillowcase a complete pillow?
No. It is a cover; filling is included only if the product explicitly says so.
Does each pack contain two cases?
Pack quantities vary. Check the contents stated for the individual item.
Is satin the same as silk?
No. Satin is a weave and silk is a fibre. Check the composition separately.
Can I mix different pillowcases?
Yes, provided the cases fit and you follow the care instructions for each fabric.
