Why white makes most sense on a pillowcase. Of everything on a bed, the pillowcase is the piece that meets skin and hair every night and is washed the most often because of it. White is the only color of ours that takes oxygen bleach, so it is the one piece of bedding you can bring back rather than retire — and a case bought to replace a worn one will match the rest, because bleached white does not vary by batch. If you are deciding between the two plain styles rather than between colors, housewife against Oxford is the comparison; the care guide has the bleach routine.
Sizes. Standard EU and US pillow sizes — see the size selector on each product. Sizes do not include ruffles or flange.
Care. Wash before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. Settles after 1–2 cold washes. Ongoing care at 40 °C. Cut 3–5% oversized. Oxygen bleach safe for white linen; no chlorine bleach.
Certification. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 — fabric and thread tested for substances that affect skin and lungs.
