Oxford Style Pillowcases

Oxford style pillowcases offer a little touch of elegant luxury to your bed.  They have a border, or frill, around the edge, unlike their ‘Housewife’ counterparts, which do not have the frill. There’s no practical advantage to Oxford pillowcases, but mixing two Housewifes with two Oxfords certainly looks fantastic!

Housewife vs Oxford

The only difference is the border, usually around 5cm, around the edge of the Oxford style.  These pillowcases often look a lot bigger than ‘standard’ Housewife, as a result, however, both fit the same standard pillow size of 50cm by 75cm (approximately).

Mix and Match Housewife and Oxford Styles

Perhaps you run a guest house or B&B.  If so, your bed needs to impress your guests from the moment they walk in to the bedroom.  While Oxford pillowcases have no practical advantage over their Housewife counterparts, they definitely do add a touch a ‘class’ to a fresh, clean bed!

Cotton vs Polycotton – which is best?  That’s a difficult question and all depends on what you want.  Cotton is more expensive, but polycotton is way more durable and long-lasting.  Cotton tends to be softer, but polycotton brings a crisp and clean feel to your bedding.

Cotton vs Polycotton

It’s all a matter of preference!  Cotton feels softer on your skin, but polycotton feels crisp and fresh on your bed.  Cotton is less strong and more likely to tear, whereas polycotton is a much stronger material, less likely to tear.

Cotton is also notoriously awkward to keep clean.  It requires lower temperatures, meaning a less thorough wash and is considerably more difficult to iron.  Polycotton however, can be washed a temperatures up to 60°, meaning a much cleaner wash.  It can be tumble dried without any problems and is much easier to iron.  Combining cotton and polyester makes the garment less prone to piling and static.  One of the main advantages of the cotton-polyester blend is that it is more wrinkle-free.

Polycotton is Strong & Durable

Polycotton is a highly durable material as Polyester contains strong plastic-like substances, making it far less likely to rip or tear.  The durable nature of Polycotton makes it an very popular choice in commercial situations such as hotels, where bed sheets are often changed often.

Polycotton is a blend of natural cotton and synthetic polyester.  Both Cotton and Polycotton bed sheets are easy to care for, both types of fabric can be washed on normal cycles in your washing machine and can be dried in the dryer. It is advised to wash cotton at lower temperatures (around 30° or 40°) however Polycotton can be washed at higher temperatures – up to 60° – for ultimate cleanliness. Washing natural fabrics like cotton 60 degrees may (most likely, will) cause them to shrink, however polycotton will not. That said, there are a number of types of cotton and polycotton, so always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when washing and drying your sheets and bed linen.
