Nap Pillowcase Pair Moon Moon

Description

Description

Each pillowcase pair consists of two pillowcases.

Nap pillowcases are finished with a 2 cuff hem.

Pillowcase vs. Sham

Pillowcases and Shams are both used to protect pillow inserts, but there are a wide variety of constructions. Typically, pillowcases loosely encase the pillow and are open on the side, whereas shams are more fitted and employ some method of closure to keep the pillow in place.

We recommend using a Queen pillowcase for a Standard pillow insert as we do not offer a Standard pillowcase. The pillowcase will hang a bit longer over the edge of the insert. It can be tucked in to create an envelope closure or taken to a seamstress for a simple alteration.

Fabric

Nap is our best-selling hotel fabric for a reason; it is a classic. It is also clear evidence that thread count is not everything.

This percale has a nice crisp finish that recalls the comfort of a lightly-starched white dress shirt. Nap will get softer and softer with every washing and it will be a favorite in your linen closet for many, many years.

Nap is woven with the finest 40s single-strand yarn available. The Italians call this weave a quattro-quaranta or 4-by-40. This means it uses 40s yarn in both the warp and the weft and has a density of 40 threads per centimeter in the warp as well as 40 picks per centimeter in the weft. The result is a fabric with a sturdy, balanced weave. Nap will last for a very long time making it ideal for not only hotels, but for any bedroom.

Care Details Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white cotton bed linens only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat. Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you dont find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our cotton bed linens should be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.
