Description
These are the Selby waffle pillowcases, sold as a pair, made from 100% cotton with a waffle-textured face and a smooth percale reverse. The face carries an understated vertical stripe in charcoal against a warm cream ground, so the two sides give you two quite different feels from a single case. Being pure cotton throughout, they breathe well and stay comfortable against the skin through the night, and cotton takes a wash without fuss.
They suit a bed that is layered rather than matched: the relaxed stripe and the raised waffle sit happily alongside plain linens, and the case works as much for propping up to read as it does dressed flat for the day. In the photograph they sit against a dark wooden headboard with slate-blue and cream layers around them, which is the kind of unfussed, natural bedroom scheme they were made for. Because they come as a pair, both sides of a double or larger bed are covered from one purchase.
The waffle is a genuine woven texture, not a print, so it holds a little loft and a soft grid pattern across the face while the percale reverse gives you a cool, close-woven side to sleep on. An envelope closure keeps the pillow tucked in and hidden, with no buttons or zip to press against your face. Wash them as you would any cotton and they will soften with use. Sitting flat against plain sheets or a solid throw lets the stripe do the talking.

Frequently Asked
Are these pillowcases the same on both sides?
No. The front is a waffle-textured cotton with a stripe, and the reverse is smooth percale cotton, so you can choose which side you sleep on.
How does the pillow stay inside?
They use an envelope closure, which means an overlapping flap of fabric holds the pillow in place with no buttons or zip to feel against your face.
What does the waffle texture feel like?
The waffle is woven into the cotton, giving a raised grid that holds a little loft and softness, rather than a flat printed surface.
Will pure cotton be comfortable year round?
Cotton is breathable and manages moisture well, so it tends to feel comfortable across the seasons rather than trapping heat against you.
How many pillowcases come in the pack?
This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases, enough to dress both sides of a double or larger bed.
Do the stripes run in one direction?
Yes, the stripe runs lengthways down the case in the photograph, a soft charcoal line against the cream waffle ground.
