Linen Home Queen Pillowcases Set of 2, 100% Cotton Percale, White

I've grown to love white bed sheets, white bath towels, white bath mats, white hand towels, white dish towels, white cleaning towels, and white linens in general - why? Bleach. Bleach is your friend in this new age. While I love the environment too, the EPA rules have had some unintended consequences that have really played havoc for us all. In order to reduce water consumption, laundry can't be fully submerged in the new EPA prescribed limited fill allowance of water for washing machines (set by the EPA) unless you have an HE FRONT LOADING machine that turns them on their side and there is no way to fix this with modern top loading machines. Add to that, in order to reduce energy consumption, hot water is no longer really hot - and let's face it...there are times you need that water to be hot. I have 4 kids... Just use your imagination. If you happen to have a tankless water heater, you never...ever...get even warm water into the washer itself because the water pull isn't on long enough to activate the tankless water heater to churn out hot water...so in winter you are washing everything in ice cold water. Some machines have internal water heaters through an allergy cycle, or you can add stand-alone water heaters or run a dishwasher simultaneously or send some random kid to the showers...the point is...there is a real need for bleach in this new environment. And phosphates (sodium tripolyphosphate if you actually want the soap to work and get stains out, and get rid of the heavy metals, and lather, and actually achieve soft laundry again, ...but that's another argument. If you are bored...I wrote it up here...cool read actually.....(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0QGSSU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) . Which brings me to this beauty of a find. It took a while to realize why some sheets were prone to pilling and getting 'scratchy" and others were not. Sateen, while soft and lovely, is only good for a short while because the weave of Sateen is prone to pilling. Tossing and turning stress the fibers and catch, creating pulls of fabric. Percale, on the other hand, is not going to do this. This particular weave style is strong and although it does not have quite the same texture of Sateen, you couldn't call it "rough" by any stretch - especially after you wash it...with those phosphates I mentioned. Seriously guys...the phosphates. Pros: - Like the song says..."Soft and white, clean and bright"...these don't disappoint. - Wash them guys. Use fabric softener. And phosphates. Phosphates bind up heavy metals that make materials feel rough. You used to have it in your laundry detergents. Now you only have it in your garden fertilizer - and your food. It's a food additive too. For all you fellow chemists out there (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate - ATP). It's in our..ahem..waste..too. Somehow the EPA is only worried about soap. But hotels, restaurants, and all businesses in general kept it. They all have soft linens. You didn't - and you don't. It's not your fault. Add it back. Just once. - I dislike the word "crisp" for sheets. Crisp is like a cracker. That's just not the descriptor I want for a bed sheet. They are substantial though. Substantial, as in "not paper-thin". When you move them, they are substantial enough that you hear the material ruffling a bit. They are soft, but without the heat retention of sateen. They are cool, but not cold (and it just dipped to freezing last night) and I still woke happy and cozy in my bed sheets...yet interestingly, not sweating which I'm prone to do at times. - Price. The best part of percale? The weave is such that it doesn't "require" the thread count that sateen requires. This is a big deal because the lower thread count is not the indicator of lower quality here. You are unlikely to ever find high thread count percale woven sheets. Well, if the thread count is lower, then material costs are lower, and as such, the final product is actually cheaper. - Deep pockets. They. Aren't. Lying. Seriously. For the first time, I don't have to use corner clasps which break and are a pain to deal with. These have yet to come untucked in any corner. I have an air bed - meaning that there are times when you sit up in the bed and you are really pulling on the sheet at a top corner. These are deep pocketed enough that they don't come untucked, despite the pull. - No issues with bleach. The first thing I did was wash these with Tide (free and clear) + phosphates added, Bleach, and Downy (free an clear) and dried with Bounce Dryer Sheet (Free and clear). There were no issues whatsoever with bleach - and I wouldn't expect there to be with a totally white fabric. Cons: - If you can't stand the thought of wrinkles under a bed comforter but you just know they are there and that's about to drive you insane, then percale is probably not the best idea. I'm not judging. Everybody has their own thing. Having said that, the wrinkles are not such that when you lie down, all that your body feels is "fabric wrinkle". That would be a wrong impression. I'm just saying that it's like a cotton t-shirt folded in a drawer. It's not stiff, but you know it wasn't hung. Will it feel uncomfortable? Nope. Will you see a wrinkle...maybe. Yeah...you will. Will you feel it? No. These are really worth the plunge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them (in white) to anyone. I say white, because I can't vouch for the dying process and the color fastness of the other options. With the white, you can't go wrong.

I adore the feeling of crisp percale. These are just like hotel sheets. They’re nice quality, cool and smooth to sleep on. They seem like a good value for the money. I would order these again without hesitation.

Color was perfect, well made and they were wonderfully crisp.

Very nice pillow cases but King size I ordered was 34 inches not 36.

I ordered the two pack of this cotton pillowcase for my son's RV. I love the color choices, nice they had the charcoal gray since that is his preferable color. Cotton feels so cool in the summertime, has that nice stiff crisp feeling after washing. I was thrilled to find that you can order the pillowcases separate from the sheets since his RV mattress is a funny size. These pillowcases washed very well, they did not come out of the dryer extremely wrinkled. They did have a few wrinkles, but I smoothed them immediately while they were still hot, and now have that crisp stiff structure again. Once he is moved to his camp host site, he will then have to be the one to wash them.

These King Size Pillow Cases run short in length and diameter, when I went to put my regular ole king size pillow is them that have fit fine in every other pillow case just fine these hung out the end, I didnt measure the diameter because once I measured the length and it was only 34 inches that told me everything I needed to know, A standard pillow case is 36"x24" so it was already 2 inches short of standard and it shows, most pillow cases give a smidge extra but this is the first time I have ever felt like I was trying to force my pillow into the case and not just do the old hold it by the ends and give a good shake to slide it down, its a shame because the quality is not bad and I would have bought more for other rooms in the house although I would have gotten the sets of cases and sheets.

I bought these linens to use in Airbnbs and they have held up well. The hems of the pillowcases get wrinkled in the wash but that goes along with them being 100% cotton percale. I like the crisp fabric and my guests do as well.

Very crisp with a nice feel out of the package. Fit was excellent on a standard pillow. Nice bright white. After washing they retain the crisp feel, but even when pulled right from the dryer they need to be ironed - and I don't pull the iron out for pillowcases. They also may have shrank a bit and that combined with the fabric being wrinkled makes them a hair small causing the end of the pillow to creep out. Very annoying. I've paid 2.5x the price and gotten much better quality, but these are not what I would consider "cheap", therefore I expected slightly better quality. I'm keeping them as they DO feel good if you like that slight stiffness of percale, but they wont get tons of use - they'll be spares.

Came with stains on both pillow cases

For this price, percale should be wrinkle free; these are not. Poor quality
