HOUSEWIFE PILLOWCASE (76 x 51cm) Pima Cotton 450tc

Pima cotton is considered to be the finest type of cotton in the world.  This natural fibre is characterised by its long durability, for its extremely soft feel and for having a silky shine.  The fibres of the cotton plant used for Pima cotton are very long and silky, making it fine, smooth and very durable - it is said that Pima cotton lasts up to four times longer than normal cotton.

Pima cotton was once called American-Egyptian cotton, but was renamed to honour the Pima Indians who were growing the cotton in Sacaton, Arizona.

Our beautiful soft white, Pima cotton has a thread count of 450 and looks and feels very luxurious.  With washing it will become even softer and silkier.

We have chosen this 450 thread Pima cotton for a luxury bed linen collection to compliment our wool duvets, pillows and mattress toppers.  The breathability of the natural cotton works in harmony with our wool products to allow the unique properties of wool to be effective and help create an even sleeping temperature. 

This is a standard sized pillow case 76cm x 51cm.  All of our standard sized folding pillows and original pillow will fit.  

The style of pillowcase is known as a Housewife style and it has no border around the edge.  This style was developed by the Housewife Co-op based in Bolton in the late 1890's and was named after them in their honour as the internal flap to keep the pillow in place was considered a breakthrough idea at the time.  The name has stayed to describe this style.
