Pillowcases FAQs

How often should you change your pillowcase?

When it comes to laundering your bed linen, pillowcases should be amongst the most frequently changed items. At least once a week is the rule of thumb, or more often if you can make this part of your routine! This is because oils, hair and dead skin cells can quickly build up, with detrimental effects on your skin's health and overall sleep hygiene.

Which pillowcase material is best?

Much like sheet sets and quilt covers, material choice for pillowcases is often a personal preference. For example, cotton is comfortable and breathable, and polycotton blends are durable and easy to care for. Alternatively, satin weaves are favoured for their smooth and cool texture, or velvet can add an instant touch of luxury.

How to remove stains from pillowcases

The most common stain type when it comes to pillowcases is yellow marks on your white bed linen. These are typically caused by body oils, sweat or saliva. A great approach for removing these stains is to use shampoo directly on the stain, and soak for 10 minutes before laundering as normal.

Pro Tip: Use pillow protectors to prevent these stains seeping into your pillows and to extend the life of your bedding!
