What fabric is the MATTEO Vintage Linen Pillowcase made from, and is it good for hot sleepers?

The Vintage Linen Pillowcase is made from 100% linen, garment-washed and dyed with non-toxic dyes in MATTEO's Los Angeles dye house. Linen is naturally moisture-absorbent and temperature-regulating: it draws heat away from the body when you're warm and retains warmth when you're cool, making it a reliable choice for hot sleepers and humid climates. The 28 single-metric yarn woven in a balanced warp-and-weft construction produces a fabric that is both breathable and durable.

What sizes are available for the Vintage Linen Pillowcase, and which size fits a standard pillow?

The Vintage Linen Pillowcase is available in Queen (20 x 33 in / 51 x 84 cm) and King (20 x 39 in / 51 x 99 cm). MATTEO does not offer a Standard size; a Queen pillowcase works well on a standard pillow insert, with the extra length either tucked in for an envelope effect or altered by a seamstress for a closer fit.

How do I wash and care for a 100% linen pillowcase without damaging the garment-dyed color?

Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, keeping light and dark colors separated. Avoid bleach and any products containing chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these whitening agents break down the reactive dyes used in garment-dyeing. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best result. If you prefer a crisper look, press while slightly damp on the linen or high iron setting.

What construction details distinguish the MATTEO Vintage Linen Pillowcase from other luxury linen pillowcases?

Each pillowcase is finished with a minimal quarter-inch hem and, on darker colorways, a contrasting white topstitch detail. The linen itself is woven from a 28 single-metric yarn in a balanced weave, then run through a proprietary washing process that opens and softens individual fibers without sacrificing structure. The result is a high-quality vintage linen pillowcase that grows softer with every wash and is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.
