Hebden Percale Cotton Pillowcase Pair - Cotta

This is the Hebden pillowcase pair, made from 100% cotton with a relaxed seersucker face and a percale reverse. Seersucker is the puckered, gently crinkled weave you can see across the front of the cases, and it is the reason this pair looks the way it does: soft ridges that catch the light rather than a flat, pressed surface. The colour here is a warm dusky pink, a soft blush tone that reads as calm rather than bright. It arrives as a pair, so you are dressing both pillows on a standard bed in one go.

These sit naturally in a bedroom that leans towards texture and warm neutrals. The pink face is muted enough to work against cream, oatmeal and warm wood without shouting, and the seersucker gives the bed a lived-in, unfussy feel from the moment it is on. If you like a bed that looks relaxed rather than hotel-crisp, this is the point of the weave: it is meant to look softly rumpled, so you are not chasing a smooth finish every morning. They pair well with plain cotton bedding underneath and layer happily with a throw at the foot of the bed.

Each case closes with an envelope back, which is the fold-over opening that tucks the pillow in and keeps it from working its way out overnight, so there is no zip or button to sit against your face. The reverse is percale, a plain-weave cotton with a crisp, smooth hand, so one side gives you texture and the other gives you a cooler, flatter feel to sleep against. Being pure cotton, the pair is breathable and takes a wash well, and the fabric has been garment-washed already for a soft, broken-in feel out of the packet. Style it simply and let the puckered surface do the work.

What is seersucker and why does the fabric look crinkled?

Seersucker is a woven cotton with a naturally puckered, ridged surface. The texture is meant to look relaxed and softly rumpled rather than flat and pressed.

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 standard bed at once.

What is the percale reverse like to sleep on?

Percale is a smooth, crisp plain-weave cotton, so the back of each case gives you a cooler, flatter feel against your skin than the textured front.

How does the envelope closure work?

The back overlaps into a fold-over opening that tucks the pillow in and holds it in place, so there is no zip or button near your face.

Is this made from pure cotton?

Yes, the pair is 100% cotton, which is breathable and washes well, and it has been garment-washed already for a soft, broken-in feel from the start.
