    Frequently Asked Questions

    What fabric is the Nap Pillowcase made from, and why is it used in hotels?

    The Nap Pillowcase is 100% extra-long staple cotton, woven in a percale weave at 225 thread count and garment-washed using non-toxic dyes. The weave follows the Italian "quattro-quaranta" or 4-by-40 construction, with 40's single-strand yarn in both the warp and weft at 40 threads per centimeter in each direction, producing a balanced, durable fabric with a crisp finish and institutional longevity that makes it a go-to choice for hotel bedding.

    Does the Nap Pillowcase come in a Standard size?

    MATTEO does not offer a Standard size; the Nap Pillowcase is available in Queen (20 x 33 inches / 51 x 84 cm) and King (20 x 39 inches / 51 x 99 cm). For a Standard pillow insert, the Queen pillowcase works well and can be tucked under the insert to create an envelope-style closure, or taken to a seamstress for a simple alteration.

    How do I wash and care for the Nap Pillowcase to keep it looking its best?

    Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating lights from darks, and avoid overloading the machine to protect the long cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best result. If you prefer a crisp finish, press while slightly damp on the Lightweight Cotton or Medium iron setting. Avoid chlorine bleach and whitening agents on garment-dyed colorways, as the reactive dyes are not resistant to those agents.

    Will the Nap Pillowcase soften over time, and is 225 thread count high enough?

    Yes. The Nap Pillowcase gets noticeably softer with every wash, which is a direct result of the extra-long staple fiber and the garment-washing process applied before it ships. Thread count alone does not determine hand feel or durability; the 4-by-40 weave construction gives Nap a sturdy, balanced structure that outperforms many higher thread-count fabrics in longevity and daily comfort.
