Which fabric should you choose for a pillowcase?

 

Choosing the right fabric is essential when purchasing a pillowcase : each textile has its own specific properties. Sylvie Thiriez focuses on natural, soft and high-quality materials that will stand the test of time, such as cotton, linen, silk or percale. Discover the benefits of each fabric to choose the pillowcase best suited to your needs!

 

 

 

 

What are the advantages of a cotton pillowcase?

 

 

 

57-thread-count cotton is a natural fiber commonly used for bedding. It offers many advantages: a soft, supple and comfortable feel combined with excellent breathability. It helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.

 

100% cotton bedding is especially recommended for children. In addition, cotton pillowcases are highly durable, resistant to stains and fading. They can be machine washed and tumble dried, making them ideal for everyday use.

 

For a lighter feel, you can opt for a double cotton gauze pillowcase, a soft and delicate fabric, or choose washed cotton, appreciated for its flexibility and exceptional softness.

 

 

 

 

 

What are the advantages of a linen pillowcase?

 

 

 

Linen offers an elegant look that is perfectly suited to adult bedroom bedding. Linen pillowcases are available in natural shades. This fabric is soft and breathable, making it particularly popular in summer.

Its hollow fiber structure promotes air circulation, ensuring comfort and temperature regulation throughout the night. Hypoallergenic, linen is gentle on the skin and ideal for people with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

 

It is also an eco-friendly choice: linen requires very little water and few pesticides to grow. It is a durable fabric that resists wear and tearing over time.

 

 

 

 

 

What are the advantages of a silk pillowcase?

 

 

 

If you are looking for a high-end pillowcase, silk is an excellent choice. This delicate fabric offers a smooth and supple feel and has thermoregulating properties that promote restful sleep. Its natural shine makes it ideal for creating an elegant bedroom atmosphere.

 

Silk is also well known for its benefits for skin and hair. Its silky texture helps prevent tangles and frizz, keeping hair smooth. The amino acids naturally present in silk stimulate collagen production, helping reduce sleep-related wrinkles and creases.

 

To top it all off, silk pillowcases are wrinkle-resistant and durable. This noble material offers excellent longevity. We recommend choosing mulberry silk pillowcases with a high momme weight whenever possible.

 

 

 

 

 

What are the advantages of a percale pillowcase?

 

Percale pillowcases are a high-quality alternative. They offer a refined and elegant appearance. With their tight weave, they are known for their smooth finish and crisp, firm texture.

This durable and resistant fabric provides a cool feeling against the skin. Sylvie Thiriez cotton percale pillowcases with an 80-thread count are available in 16 colors.

We also offer washed cotton percale pillowcases with a 71-thread count, which combine softness and lightness. Thanks to their naturally crinkled finish, they require no ironing—a real time-saver when it comes to care!

 

Cotton, linen, silk or percale—whatever fabric you choose, all Sylvie Thiriez products are certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This label guarantees the absence of harmful substances for both consumers and the environment, allowing you to shop with complete peace of mind!
