Pillow Pillowcase

Sheets and Pillowcases

Pillowcases are nothing but covers designed to slip over the pillows. Pillowcases can serve as a cost-effective way to spruce up your interior décor. Besides, they also help in maintaining a hygienic environment. Pillowcases prevent the pillows from getting dirty. By trapping dirt or grease from your hair and other materials, pillowcases don't let them enter the pillow filling.

If your pillow gets dirty, you may find it very difficult to wash it and make it stain-free. On the contrary, pillowcases are easy to wash. Many distinct pillowcases exist in the market.

 

Standard pillowcases and bed sheets are available in all linen stores. When choosing pillowcases and sheets, you have a variety of choices at your disposal. Following are some different types:

 

1. Cotton pillowcases and sheets:

 

Cotton is a skin-friendly fabric. Cotton pillowcases and sheets will allow your skin to breathe by absorbing the moisture from the skin. Cotton sheets are ideal for both, summer and winter season. Cotton fabric tends to entrap air between the fabric fibers and so, protects the body against cold in winter and against heat in summer by providing thermal insulation.

 

1. Satin pillowcases and sheets:

 

Satin is an elegant and a soft fabric. If you want to have the ultimate comfort for your hair and body, a satin pillowcase and sheet can be your ideal choice. The pleasing and relaxing feel of satin pillowcase and sheet will give a sensual and warm feeling to your skin.

 

Satin is a very smooth fabric, and so, a satin pillowcase won't cause your hair to tangle or break. Similarly, a satin sheet will reduce the friction on your skin and won't cause any kind of wrinkles on your skin.

 

Based on your choice, you can select the most appropriate pillowcases and sheets for your home.

What dimensions should a pillowcase be if the pillow it's being made for measures 12.5" by 16"?

It all depends on how thick the pillow is going to be. For a flat, or one that's filled with husks, I would just oversize it by two inches. A large foam pillow, I would oversize it by 4in.
