Light Grey 600 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Pillowcases

Certified Egyptian Cotton

Made with 100% certified Egyptian cotton accredited by the Cotton Egypt Association. Egyptian cotton is grown exclusively in Egypt on the banks of the river Nile. The warm climate and rich soil are perfect for growing the high-quality, long staple length cotton fibres we all love in our cotton bed sheets.

Precious & esteemed

These extra long and strong cotton fibres create a smoother, softer and more durable yarn and fabric for an excellent quality bed linen. This precious fabric is made with 4-ply yarns and a sateen weave for greater smoothness and strength.

The story behind Egyptian Cotton

Egyptian Cotton cultivation began when some neglected cotton plants were noticed in a Cairo garden. It was quickly realised that the extra long fibres could be woven into a strong and fine cloth. Before long, cotton was being cultivated along the banks of the Nile, securing Egypt's reputation for high-quality cotton.

Care for quality

This bed linen has gone through some serious testing with a special focus on colour fastness, durability and washability.

Smooth to the touch

Woven in a sateen weave with plied yarns, this bed linen feels beautifully soft and silky smooth against the skin.

Quality you can see

The beautiful fabric used to make this bed linen has a pleasing drape and a subtle sheen for a look of pure luxury. It works beautifully on its own or as a blank canvas for your unique bedroom look.

Classic styling

This bed linen range is finished with a 5mm wide silky marrow stich cording on the duvet cover, pillow cases and flat sheets. The duvet cover and Oxford pillow cases have 5cm borders. The fitted sheets are elasticated around the full edge of the sheet for a perfect fit.

Signature ties

The duvet covers are fastened with tie closures so you don't need to worry about ironing around fiddly buttons. Pillow cases have an envelope closure for a neat finish.

Let Your Pillowcases Breathe

After waking up, pull back your bedding and allow your pillowcases to air for a short while before making the bed. This helps moisture dissipate and keeps them feeling fresher for longer.

Wash regularly

Keep your bed clean and fresh by changing and washing your bed linen regularly. Once a week is perfect. You can wash this bed linen at 40°C, although we'd recommend you wash it at 30°C for a greener way to stay clean.

Hang to dry

Do your bit for our planet and dry your bed linen by hanging it to dry out of direct sunlight. It will dry best on an outside washing line. If time or space is tight, it can also be tumble-dried. You'll have fewer creases to deal with if you remove your bed linen from the dryer while slightly damp and then hang it to air dry.

A touch of steam

This sateen bed linen needs a bit of steam for a pristine finish. Better still, iron while it's slightly damp to remove creases.

Check your detergent

Always use the best detergent for the product you are washing. As this bed linen is white, we'd recommend you use powdered detergents.

Avoid detergents and stain removers containing optical brighteners

They create an optical illusion that changes the appearance of the colour. It's not just detergents that can affect your bed linen; some creams and face washes contain chemicals that will bleach your bed linen, such as benzoyl peroxide. Suncream and bronzers can also stain your bed sheets; having a shower before bed to remove skin products will help your bed linen stay looking good for longer.
