Cluny Pillowcase Single

The Cluny Pillowcase is 100% linen with a cotton trim. The linen base is MATTEO's Vintage Linen fabric, woven with a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft, then garment-washed using non-toxic dyes. The trim is a delicate 100% cotton cluny lace border, finished within a hidden seam.

Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, which makes the Cluny Pillowcase a strong choice for sensitive skin. The garment-washing process uses non-toxic dyes throughout, with no chlorine bleach or harsh chemical treatments applied to the fabric. Linen also wicks moisture away from the skin, reducing the warm, humid conditions that can irritate sensitive sleepers.

Linen is moisture-absorbent and naturally thermoregulating: it pulls heat away when you run warm and retains warmth when temperatures drop. The Vintage Linen base uses a balanced 28 single-metric yarn weave that keeps the fabric breathable without sacrificing weight or durability. For hot sleepers or those in humid climates, linen pillowcases consistently outperform cotton for overnight temperature regulation.

The Cluny Pillowcase is available in Queen (20 x 33 inches / 51 x 84 cm) and King (20 x 39 inches / 51 x 99 cm). Both sizes are sold individually, so you can mix sizes across a bed or replace a single pillowcase as needed.

Wash in a lukewarm cycle with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, separating light and dark colors. Do not use bleach or products containing chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these will break down the reactive garment dyes. For drying, tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkles, or line dry for best results. If you prefer a crisper finish, press while slightly damp on the Linen or High iron setting.

Yes. Linen, derived from the flax plant, grows noticeably softer with each wash and use cycle. MATTEO's garment-washing process already opens and softens the fibers before the pillowcase reaches you, giving it a lived-in feel from the first night. Linen's structure means it holds this softness without losing the fabric's inherent durability.

The Cluny Pillowcase is available in fifteen colors: White, Moon, Off White, Greige, Salt, Iris, Mica, Oat, Bay, Alpine, Coal, Fig, Bark, Night, and Smoke. Colors are applied through a garment-dyeing process, which produces dimensional, lived-in tones rather than flat, uniform color. Because garment-dyeing is an artisanal process, a shade variation of approximately +/- 10% between dye lots is normal and expected.

The Cluny Pillowcase is a considered registry choice for anyone building a long-term bedding collection. The cluny lace detail adds visual distinction without ornamentation that dates quickly, and linen's durability means the pillowcase holds up across years of regular use. MATTEO designs and manufactures in Los Angeles, with fabrics woven by Italian weavers, which gives the pillowcase a clear provenance story that holds up as a gift.
