OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified
Six hundred threads woven in sateen, which puts the smooth face of the cloth against your cheek all night. The envelope closure keeps the pillow in without a zip to catch on. Sold as a pair, because one is never the answer.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Wash separately for the first few cycles: deep and saturated colours release a little dye at first. Do not bleach, do not dry clean.
Textured weaves such as seersucker, waffle and gauze are meant to look relaxed: they need no ironing, and they soften with every wash.

The fabric
Four threads over, one under. The sheen comes from the weave, not from a coating.
Sateen only works in long-staple cotton. The weave floats long lengths of thread across the surface, and short fibres would break and pill within months. That is why a cheap sateen goes bad quickly and a good one does not.
Putting four threads on the face for every one underneath makes a surface that reflects rather than scatters light. Nothing is added to the cloth. It is denser than percale, so it feels cool for the first minute and then warms with you.
Wash warm, dry low. High heat is the one thing that dulls sateen, because it roughens the floating threads that make the sheen. No ironing needed.
No. Satin is a weave made with filament fibres, usually silk or polyester. Sateen is the same weave structure in cotton. Ours is cotton, always.
It is denser than percale, so it holds a little more warmth. If you wake up too hot, percale or linen will suit you better.
Not from washing. It dulls from heat, so dry on low and it will keep its face for years.
