What is an Oxford Pillowcase?

The Oxford Pillowcase is renowned for its elegant, decorative border in various shapes and sizes, which complements the back opening where the pillow is inserted. This wide-stitched, flat hem adds a sophisticated touch to your bedroom decor, making the Oxford style a popular choice in discerning homes across the UK, Europe and USA. You can read more about the history of Oxford pillowcases in our blog post here.

Sizing the Oxford Silk Pillowcase

The UK Standard (US Queen) Oxford silk pillowcase measures 50 x 75 cm (20 x 30 in) internally, with an additional 3cm decorative hem around the edge. Whereas, the UK Super King (US King) Oxford silk pillowcase measures 50 x 90 cm (20 x 36 in) internally, also featuring a 3.5cm decorative hem. Some styles also include a subtle piping in

Through extensive testing, we found a 3.5cm hem as the ideal look for Oxford pillowcases in silk.

The Best Silk: Mulberry Silk

Mulberry silk, derived from the cocoons of silkworms that feed on mulberry leaves, is considered the queen of textiles due to its unrivaled softness and quality. This natural, translucent ivory silk offers numerous benefits, making it the ideal choice for pillowcases.

Decoding Momme

Momme, a Japanese term, refers to the weight of silk. When selecting silk pillowcases or bedding, it's essential to understand momme. For pillowcases and bed linen, a 22-25 momme thickness offers the perfect balance of luxury and durability, with lower momme silk being less expensive and shorter lasting.

Advantages of a Silk Pillowcase

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase offers numerous benefits, including anti-aging properties for the skin, improved hair health with reduced frizz, thermoregulation for year-round comfort, a superior tactile appeal and more.

Benefits of silk: anti-aging, sustainable & biodegradable, healthy for you and the planet
benefits of silk: hypoallergenic, maintains hydration, temperature control
