FAQs

Housewife or Oxford pillowcases?
Housewife cases fit snug to the pillow's edge; Oxford cases add a flat decorative border a few centimetres wide. Same pillow size either way — Oxford just looks fuller on the bed.
Are silk pillowcases worth it?
Silk (and good bamboo) creates less friction against hair and skin and sleeps cooler — the benefit is real, though no pillowcase is a skincare product. Check momme weight (19+ is the durable standard) rather than the marketing.
