Description

Organic washed sateen pillowcases are finished with a half inch hem with a double stitch detail. Darker colors feature a contrasting white top stitch detail.

Pillowcase vs. Sham

Pillowcases and Shams are both used to protect pillow inserts, but there are a wide variety of constructions. Typically, pillowcases loosely encase the pillow and are open on the side, whereas shams are more fitted and employ some method of closure to keep the pillow in place.

We recommend using a Queen pillowcase for a Standard pillow insert as we do not offer a Standard pillowcase. The pillowcase will hang a bit longer over the edge of the insert. It can be tucked in to create an envelope closure or taken to a seamstress for a simple alteration.

Fabric

Twenty years ago, we wanted a sateen that did not require ironing. That’s it. What we did not know was that with our special washes in our dye-house, we would create something so soft that would not only get better with use but last. Our Organic Washed Sateen is not only woven with pure 60’s yarn but it is also 100% Egyptian Cotton. Organic Washed Sateen provides just the right balance of softness and warmth as you slide into sleep.

We hope you enjoy it and sleep as well as we do.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white cotton bed linens only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you don't find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our cotton bed linens should be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is the Organic Cotton Sateen Pillowcase made from?

The pillowcase is 100% Egyptian cotton in a sateen weave at 300 thread count, garment-washed in MATTEO's Los Angeles dye-house using non-toxic dyes. The washed finish is what gives the fabric its distinctive softness — a quality that deepens with every wash.

Will this pillowcase work with a standard pillow insert?

MATTEO offers this pillowcase in Queen (20 x 33 inches) and King (20 x 39 inches) only. For a standard pillow insert, the Queen size works well — the extra length simply drapes over the edge, and can be tucked in or taken to a seamstress for a clean envelope finish.

How should I wash the Organic Cotton Sateen Pillowcase?

Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating lights from darks. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling — or line dry for best results. Avoid chlorine bleach and any products containing alpha hydroxy acids or benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed colors, as reactive dyes are not resistant to whitening agents.

Is this pillowcase a good choice for sensitive skin?

Yes. The Organic Cotton Sateen Pillowcase is woven from 100% Egyptian cotton and dyed with non-toxic, reactive dyes — no harsh chemical finishes. The garment-washing process removes residual sizing, so the fabric is smooth against skin from the first night.
