Description
These are the Hebden pillowcases, sold as a pair and made from pure cotton with two faces that feel quite different from one another. The front is a relaxed seersucker: a woven cotton finish that puckers into a soft, textural surface rather than lying flat. The reverse is percale, a plain, close weave that has been garment washed so it starts out soft rather than needing several washes to relax. One side gives you texture under the hand, the other a smooth, cool finish, and both are cotton through and through.
A pair of pillowcases like this suits a bed you want to look lived-in and comfortable rather than sharply made. The puckered seersucker face sits happily in a bedroom that leans on natural, muted tones, and the warm cocoa brown shown here reads as an easy, grounding colour that pairs with off-white and unbleached bedding without fuss. They work as your everyday cases and equally as the layered top pillows on a dressed bed. If you like the texture but want it against your face at night, turn the smooth percale side up.
The cases close with an envelope back, so the pillow tucks in behind an overlapping flap with no buttons or zip to catch on. There is an oxford edge trim, the flat border that frames the pillow and gives the case a defined, tailored outline. Being 100% cotton, they are breathable and take a warm wash and iron well, and the garment-washed finish means a little softness is built in from the first use. Hebden is a wider seersucker bedding range, so if you like these you can build the look out across the bed.

Frequently Asked
Are both sides of the pillowcase the same?
No. One face is textured seersucker with a puckered finish and the other is smooth percale, so you can choose the feel you prefer against your face.
What is seersucker and why is it puckered?
Seersucker is a cotton weave that draws parts of the cloth up into a raised, crinkled texture, which is deliberate and does not need ironing flat to look right.
How do the pillowcases fasten?
They use an envelope closure, so the pillow slips in behind an overlapping flap at the back with no buttons or zip to fuss with.
Will they feel stiff when new?
The percale reverse is garment washed, which means the fabric is softened during making, so the cases feel comfortable from the first night rather than after several washes.
How many pillowcases do I get?
This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases, enough to dress both pillows on a bed or keep one as a spare.
What is the case made from?
It is made from 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that stays cool against the skin and washes well over time.
