Housewife Pillowcases

The housewife pillowcase is a true classic. Different to the decorative Oxford pillowcase, they’re also known as plain or standard pillowcases and sit neatly underneath their ornamental counterparts or on their own to create a more minimal bedroom look.

Housewife Pillowcases FAQs

What is a housewife pillowcase?

A housewife pillowcase has a simple sewn edge without a decorative border, offering a clean and tailored finish. Complete with an envelope closure, it’s the most traditional pillowcase style.

Why is it called a housewife pillowcase?

The name dates back to early 20th-century sewing patterns that added a sewn flap inside the pillowcase to prevent pillows from slipping out, creating a more practical design.

Should I choose housewife or Oxford pillowcases?

Housewife pillowcases help to create a minimalist look, while Oxford pillowcases add a decorative border for a high-end hotel feel. Try layering both designs together for a more stylised bed.
