Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose cotton satin pillowcases over traditional cotton or silk ones?
▼
Cotton satin offers the best of both worlds. Unlike standard cotton, the satin weave provides the friction-reducing benefits of silk but is far more breathable and easier to care for. It's also an excellent, affordable, and durable vegan alternative to silk. We also make sure our cotton satin pillowcases are kind to the planet. They're made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton satin that's responsibly grown and woven by skilled craftspeople.
Are these pillowcases safe for sensitive skin or those with allergies?
▼
Absolutely. Our pillowcases are made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton satin and are Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they are rigorously tested and guaranteed to be free from harmful toxins, irritants, and harsh chemicals. The clean, breathable, and naturally fresh fibres discourage bacteria buildup, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
Are cotton satin pillowcases suitable for hot sleepers?
▼
Yes. Because these are made from 100% organic cotton, which is a naturally breathable fibre, they are designed to keep you cool through the night. The weave offers a subtle sheen and clean feel, while the natural cotton ensures excellent airflow.
Are cotton satin pillowcases good for hair and skin?
▼
Yes, and the reason for that is because the smooth satin weave significantly minimises friction and drag, which is key to preventing overnight damage. For hair, this means a reduction in frizz, split ends, and bedhead. For skin, the gentleness helps prevent facial creasing or sleep lines and keeps your skin moisturised, unlike traditional cotton which can absorb natural oils.
What styles do your cotton satin pillowcases come in?
▼
They come in Oxford and Housewife pillowcase styles. The Oxford style includes an extra fabric border or 'sham' around the four edges, creating a decorative and elegant finish. The Housewife offers a more traditional look, with a simple, seamless edge all the way around for a classic, clean look. Both styles feature a deep envelope fold to ensure your pillow stays securely in place.
Do these pillowcases come as a single or a pair?
▼
All of our cotton satin pillowcases are sold as pairs.
How do I properly care for my cotton satin pillowcases to maintain the soft sheen?
▼
It's easy to care for these pillowcases! Machine wash at 30°C with a gentle detergent. To best protect the satin weave, avoid fabric softener and hang them to dry. If you use a dryer, choose a very low heat setting. They are designed to only get softer and more luxurious with every wash.
