Egyptian cotton pillowcases made from extra-long staple fibers offer superior softness, durability, and breathability. They become softer with each wash, resist pilling, and help regulate temperature for better sleep. The smooth surface reduces friction on skin and hair, helping prevent wrinkles and bedhead while naturally wicking moisture to keep you cool.

Sateen Egyptian cotton pillowcases have a lustrous, silky-smooth finish with a subtle sheen, ideal for those who prefer buttery softness. Percale Egyptian cotton features a crisp, cool, matte finish with classic hotel-quality feel, perfect for sleepers who want lightweight breathability and a fresh, clean texture.

Standard pillowcases fit 20" x 26" pillows, Queen fits 20" x 30", and King fits 20" x 36" pillows. Most people use Standard or Queen for sleeping, while King suits larger pillows. Euro shams (26" x 26") are square decorative pillows. Always match your pillowcase size to your pillow dimensions for the best fit.

Egyptian cotton pillowcases are worth the investment for long-term value and better sleep quality. They last 5-10 years with proper care, making the cost per use lower than standard cotton. The superior comfort, hypoallergenic properties, and gentle touch on skin and hair contribute to healthier sleep and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

Wash Egyptian cotton pillowcases in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry, removing promptly to minimize wrinkles. Egyptian cotton becomes softer and more luxurious with each wash when properly cared for.

For Egyptian cotton pillowcases, look for thread counts between 300-600 for the best balance of softness, durability, and breathability. Sateen weaves (300-400) feel silky smooth, while percale (300-500) offers a crisp finish. Quality Egyptian cotton with long-staple fibers matters more than extremely high thread counts.

Egyptian cotton pillowcases can improve skin and hair health thanks to their ultra-smooth surface that creates less friction, reducing sleep wrinkles and preventing hair breakage and frizz. The naturally hypoallergenic, chemical-free fabric is gentler on sensitive or acne-prone skin, while breathable fibers regulate moisture and temperature to prevent clogged pores.
