Club Checkerboard Check Cotton Blend Pillowcase Pair - Green

This is a pair of pillowcases in a cotton blend, woven so the checkerboard pattern is made by the cloth itself rather than printed onto it. The face carries a waffle texture arranged in oblong blocks, which catches the light in soft squares and gives the surface a gentle relief you can feel as well as see. The green shown here is a warm, herbal olive, and the blocks read clearly against it. The composition is 52% polyester and 48% cotton, a mix chosen to give you the handle of cotton against the low-maintenance behaviour of a synthetic blend.

A pair of pillowcases is the quickest way to change the mood of a bed without redressing the whole thing, so these sit well on their own over plain white or cream, or layered with a checked or striped bedspread when you want more going on. The olive is an easy neutral to build around, comfortable next to warm woods, rust and terracotta throws, and the soft pinks and ochres of a lived-in bedroom. Because the interest is in the texture rather than a loud print, the pair earns its place without fighting anything else already in the room.

Each case has a plain, smooth reverse, so the side against your face stays soft while the textured side faces out. The opening is an envelope closure, which tucks the pillow in behind an overlapped flap and keeps it in place through the night with no buttons or zip to feel through the cloth. The blend is quick drying and does not need ironing, which makes the whole pair genuinely low effort between washes. Turn the smooth side up for a quieter look, or the waffle side up when you want the checkerboard to show. If you like the pattern, it carries across the wider Club Checkerboard range so you can build the rest of the bed to match.

What is the pillowcase made from?

It is a cotton blend, 52% polyester and 48% cotton, which gives you the feel of cotton with the easy-care behaviour and quick drying of a synthetic blend.

Does the checkerboard have to be ironed?

No. The supplier states there is no need to iron, and the waffle texture is meant to sit with its natural relief rather than being pressed flat.

How do the pillowcases close?

Each has an envelope closure, where an overlapped inner flap holds the pillow in place through the night with no buttons or zip to press against your face.

Is the pattern printed or woven?

It is woven. The checkerboard is created by a waffle texture in the cloth itself, so it will not fade or peel the way a print can over time.

What does the pair include?

You receive two pillowcases, both in the green waffle checkerboard shown, each with the same smooth plain reverse for softness against your face.

What colours does it suit?

The warm olive green works well with natural woods, rust and terracotta accents, and soft neutral walls, and it also sits quietly over plain white or cream bedding.
