How to choose your bolster pillowcase?

Choosing the right material is crucial to guarantee optimal comfort. A bolster pillowcase should be pleasant to the touch, breathable, and easy to care for. At Sylvie Thiriez, we offer a range of pillowcases made with quality materials, designed to suit all preferences and needs.

57-thread cotton is a safe bet. It combines softness, durability, and easy maintenance while providing comfort suitable for all seasons. If you’re looking for a more refined texture, cotton percale is an excellent choice. Its tight weave gives it great strength while delivering an incomparable feeling of freshness and softness.

For those who prefer a more natural and authentic touch, washed linen is ideal. Thermoregulating, it adapts to temperature variations, offering coolness in summer and warmth in winter. Its wrinkled look adds a relaxed, timeless charm to your bedroom.

Finally, washed percale is a high-end alternative that combines the lightness of percale with an ultra-soft texture obtained thanks to a special treatment. Perfect for those who like sheets that are both supple and silky.

The bolster pillowcase is a decorative element that allows you to harmonize your bedding with your bedroom. Its choice should not be left to chance, as it contributes to the overall ambiance of your resting space.

If you’re looking for a calming effect, neutral colors like white, beige, or gray are safe bets. They match all decoration styles and create a soft and elegant atmosphere. To bring a touch of warmth, terracotta, dusty rose, or sage green tones are very trendy and add character to your bed.

Those who love originality will prefer prints. Flowers, geometric patterns, or stripes: the options are endless to personalize your bedding according to your taste. At Sylvie Thiriez, we offer a wide variety of colors and patterns so that your bolster pillowcase integrates perfectly into your interior.

Putting on a bolster pillowcase may seem tricky, but with the right technique, the operation becomes quick and efficient. The simplest method is to fold the bolster in half, insert one end into the pillowcase, then gradually unfold it while pulling the cover. This technique allows the fabric to adjust well without excessive effort.

Some bolster pillowcases have a flap closure or ties. These practical details ensure better hold of the bolster in its cover and prevent any unwanted slipping during the night.

Once in place, make sure to stretch the pillowcase for a smooth and harmonious finish. By taking care of your pillowcase and washing it regularly, you will extend its lifespan and enjoy a consistently pleasant bedding.
