Hebden Percale Cotton Pillowcase Pair - Chalk

The Hebden pillowcase pair is made from pure cotton with a relaxed seersucker face and a smooth percale reverse. Seersucker is a woven texture, where alternating tightly and loosely tensioned yarns create the crinkled, puckered surface you can see in the photograph. That pucker is not printed or pressed in, it is built into the weave, so it stays put through washing and does not need coaxing back. The result is a face with quiet texture and a reverse that lies flat and cool against the skin.

These sit well in a bedroom that leans plain and textural rather than patterned. The chalk white reads as a soft, warm white rather than a stark one, so it works alongside natural wood, rattan and pale linen without feeling clinical. Because the interest is in the surface rather than a print, they layer easily over almost any duvet cover and will not fight a bolder blanket or throw at the foot of the bed. Sold as a pair, they suit a standard pillow on each side of a double.

Cotton takes a warm wash comfortably and is naturally breathable, which is what keeps a pillowcase feeling fresh through the night. This pair is garment-washed, a finish that relaxes the cloth before it reaches you so it arrives soft rather than crisp and needs less persuading after the first wash. Each case fastens with an envelope closure, an internal flap that tucks the pillow in and holds it without buttons or a zip to catch on. If you like the look, the wider Hebden range carries the same relaxed seersucker texture across other bedding pieces.

What is the difference between the two sides of the pillowcase?

The face has a relaxed seersucker texture with a puckered, crinkled surface, while the reverse is smooth percale cotton that lies flat and cool against your skin.

Will the puckered texture wash out over time?

No, the seersucker pucker is woven into the cloth using differently tensioned yarns rather than pressed in, so it stays put through repeated washing.

How do the pillowcases fasten?

Each case uses an envelope closure, an internal flap that tucks the pillow in and holds it securely without any buttons or zip to catch on.

How many pillowcases do I get?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two pillowcases, enough for both sides of a double bed or a spare for a single.

Is this pure cotton?

Yes, it is made from one hundred per cent cotton, which is breathable and takes a warm wash comfortably, helping it feel fresh through the night.

What does garment-washed mean here?

It means the finished cases are washed before you receive them, which relaxes the cloth so it arrives soft rather than crisp and settles quickly.
