King pillows need king pillowcases. A standard case on a king pillow either fails to fit or leaves the pillow corners exposed all night. The fix is sizing, not stretching.
Ours are 100% cotton, 50x90 cm to fit European and UK king pillows, in both percale and sateen. Percale for the cool, crisp hotel feel. Sateen for the silkier, draped surface. Both come from the same Portuguese cotton that goes into our standard pillowcases, in the same weave families, so the bed reads as a complete set.
The cotton is woven at Lintexport in Portugal, our mill since 1967. Long-staple cotton, traditional looms, finished without harsh chemicals. The kind of pillowcase that softens for the first year and holds for five more.
A king pillowcase washed weekly for five years works out at fractions of a cent per night. The cheap alternative pills, thins at the corners, or loses its weave structure within a year and ends up costing more across the same span. Quality Portuguese cotton, properly woven, is the version that holds.
Made in Portugal, since 1967. The right case for a king pillow.
