Linen TENCEL™ Pillowcases

I normally sleep on percale or Egyptian cotton but as a hot sleeper especially my head & scalp I wanted to give these a try after reading about the benefits of linen & tencel lyocell for hot sleepers. These definitely have a different feel from cotton, really silky & soft as well as super lightweight. Im still unsure if they feel any cooler to sleep on, the change of seasons has really had my body temp out of whack so well see if they feel cooler come summer. The dark gray is a beautiful color, really pleased with how well it matches my cotton duvet cover. The cases seem really well made, the stitching is all top notch & the edges look nice with folding or puckering after washing. My pillow is 20×30 & the Queen size pillowcase is more than adequate in room, even a bit oversized but I dont mind that at all. I have noticed they seem really wrinkly after sleeping on them, nobody sees my bed so it doesnt bother me but might bother others if you like your made bed to look perfect. Like all my bedding these were washed in cold water & dried with low heat, noticed no difference other than slightly softer after washing & no shrinkage. These come nicely packaged in a box with zero plastic so no plastic smell. If the cases hold up over time Ill be looking into the matching duvet cover the company offers.

I really like these king size pillowcases. They are really soft and smooth but are neither fuzzy nor silky, which is good because I dont like either of those qualities in my pillowcase. These pillowcases are like the goldilocks of pillowcases- theyre just right. They are plenty big for my pillows which is great because my pillows end up sticking out of any other king size case. These pillowcases could actually fit even bigger pillows than mine. I also like how they are very lightweight and airy yet feel really strong. Ive washed and dried them multiple times and they have held up well with no shrinkage. They do wrinkle easily but that doesnt bother me. They feel smooth on my face which is what counts for me. The only reason I didnt give them five stars is that they are thin enough I can see my pillows gray stitching faintly through the fabric. The flip side of their airiness is a very slight sheerness. But Im just fine with it because they feel good and seem to be very well made. And if you have solid white pillows theyre perfect.

Do you love perfectly white, lightly starched, crisp sheets and pillowcases ironed daily by … someone-not-you? If yes, move along. These pillow cases are not for you.These are luscious linens with a constant, little bit rumpled look. They always and never look like you just made the bed or just woke up. The are super soft, with just enough drape, stay almost crisp even in the AM, and are cool to sleep and be seen with. The charcoal color is modern, and elevates these not-at-all typical Linen-blend pillowcases to posh, Wabi-sabi kind of vibe. These are definitely AD worthy.Here’s the practical stuff: I washed one of these pillow cases on cold, and dried in in the dryer on gentle. I meant to take it out before it dried completely to hang it to completely dry. But, umm, I forgot about that dryer load and I accidentally dried it totally. I was very bummed, thinking it might have shrunk or worse, that the stitching might me irreparably puckered (my pet peeve). I removed it from the dryer and it looked….. fine! I compared it to the brand new out of the box pillow case. The color was the same, no seam puckering! Yay! The laundered pillow case did loose about a third of an inch in both height and width compared to the one of of the box, but thats normal. I am thrilled with this practical performance!If you are looking for natural linen blend bed linens, you already know they are super pricey. These are very reasonable compared to other similar choices, and the light charcoal color is fantastic.Yes, they are a bit pricey, but this is not “fast fashion” bedding. I’m so happy I splurged on these. I love them.
