Pillowcases – Versatile Accents for Your Home

Pillowcases are an easy way to change the look of a room. By using different colors, materials, and textures, you can add specific accents to your living room or bedroom.

At Mary Rose, you'll find pillowcases in a variety of sizes, designs, and fabric types. Depending on the style, they can have a calm and timeless look, a decorative and textured feel, or a particularly soft and cozy appearance.

What should you look for when buying pillowcases?

When making a selection, the most important factors to consider are material, size, closure, and care.

The cover should fit the existing pillow filling so that the pillow doesn't look too loose or too tight. Common sizes include, for example, 40 × 40 cm, 40 × 60 cm, and 50 × 50 cm.

The material also affects the fabric's appearance and feel. Cotton, linen, hemp, satin, corduroy, and jacquard differ in terms of texture, feel, and care requirements, among other things.

You can find the material composition and certification details for a specific pillowcase directly on the respective product page.

What materials are used for pillowcases?

Linen

Linen has a distinctive, slightly textured surface and is often perceived as light and comfortable. Depending on how it is finished, the fabric is well-suited for a natural and understated interior design.

Satin

Satin is characterized by a smooth surface and, depending on the finish, can have a slightly glossy or matte appearance. This makes the fabric particularly well-suited for elegant and understated interior design concepts.

Panama

Panama fabric has a clearly visible, textured weave. Depending on the model, our Panama pillowcases are made of organic cotton and are certified according to an independent standard.

Cord

Cord is recognizable by its ribbed surface. The fabric has a decorative look and gives pillowcases a distinctive texture.

Jacquard

With Jacquard, patterns are created directly by the weave. This gives the pillowcases a particularly decorative look and makes them ideal for adding specific accents.

Percale

Percale is a tightly woven cotton fabric with a smooth, matte surface. It has a simple, understated look.

Hemp

Hemp has a slightly linen-like texture and a distinctive feel. Depending on the blend of materials, the fabric can vary in softness and smoothness.

Damask

Damask is characterized by woven patterns and an interplay of matte and slightly lustrous surfaces. This makes it particularly well-suited for classic or festive interior styles.

What sizes are available for decorative pillows?

Decorative pillows come in a variety of sizes. The best size depends on your sofa, bed, armchair, and the arrangement you want.

At Mary Rose, depending on the model, you'll find the following sizes, among others:

• 40 × 40 cm

• 40 × 60 cm

• 50 × 50 cm

Square pillows are ideal for classic arrangements. Rectangular pillows can be placed in front of them or used as a single accent piece. You can find the currently available sizes listed directly with each product.

How do you properly care for pillowcases?

Always follow the instructions on the care label, as washing, drying, and ironing temperatures may vary depending on the material and construction.

Remove the pillow insert from the cover before washing. Close any zippers or buttons, and turn the cover inside out if necessary.

Use a detergent that is suitable for the fabric and color. Whether a new cover should be washed before its first use depends on the care instructions and the manufacturer's guidelines.

Care tailored to the product can help preserve its color, shape, and fabric texture for as long as possible.
