Why Customers Love Them
These standard pillowcases bring a quiet, polished finish to the bed with minimal effort. The fine vertical stripes in silver grey catch the light gently, creating a subtle sheen rather than a glossy shine — the kind of refined detail that makes bedding feel considered without being fussy. Silver grey is one of the most versatile bedroom tones, working naturally alongside soft neutrals like cream and white, or stronger accents like navy, emerald green, or charcoal. Whether your style is minimal or layered, these pillowcases fit right in.
As part of the Mix and Match Collection, they are sold as a pair so you can combine them with any Leruum sateen duvet cover, flat sheet, or Oxford pillowcase in the same or contrasting colours. The 200TC cotton sateen weave gives the fabric a smooth, silky hand-feel that is softer and more fluid than percale, with a gentle drape that sits neatly on the pillow. It reflects our philosophy: change your room, change your mood — sometimes a fresh pair of pillowcases is all it takes to change how your bed feels.

Comfort, Quality, and Care
Cotton sateen is woven with a four-over, one-under thread structure that brings more yarn to the surface, creating a smoother, softer feel compared to percale or plain weaves. This 200TC long-staple cotton sateen delivers a silky touch from the first night and maintains its smooth texture with repeated washing. The fabric resists creasing better than plain cotton weaves, so the pillows look neat and polished with less effort.
The breathable cotton structure helps regulate temperature, keeping the pillow cool and fresh during sleep. Unlike synthetic satin, cotton sateen is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and gentle on the skin — making it a practical choice for everyday comfort, not just special occasions.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — tested for harmful substances and approved as safe for direct skin contact. A reliable choice for adults, children, and anyone with sensitive skin.
Care Instructions
- Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours
- Tumble dry on low
- Do not bleach
- Warm iron if desired for a crisp finish
Proper care preserves both the silver grey colour and the smooth sateen sheen for years of everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pillowcases are included?
This listing includes a pair of two standard pillowcases, each measuring 50 × 75 cm.
What is the difference between standard and Oxford pillowcases?
Standard (housewife) pillowcases have no border — they fit neatly around the pillow with a clean edge. Oxford pillowcases have a decorative flat border, typically 5 cm wide, that creates a more formal, framed look.
What fabric are they made from?
They are made from 100% long-staple cotton in a 200 thread count sateen weave. The sateen structure creates a smooth, silky surface that is softer and more lustrous than percale.
Does the fabric feel shiny or glossy?
No. The sateen weave produces a subtle, soft sheen — not a shiny or glossy finish. The fine vertical stripes catch the light gently for a refined, understated effect.
Are they breathable for comfortable sleep?
Yes. Unlike synthetic satin, cotton sateen is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. It keeps the pillow cool and fresh during sleep, making it comfortable year-round.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, tested for harmful substances and approved for direct skin contact.
Do they crease easily?
Cotton sateen resists creasing better than plain cotton weaves. The pillows look neat and polished with less ironing — a quick warm iron gives a crisp finish if desired.
Can I mix and match them with other colours?
Yes. Silver grey pairs naturally with cream, navy, blush pink, charcoal, or white. The Mix and Match Collection is designed for exactly this — build a bed that suits your style.
How do I care for them?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, tumble dry on low, do not bleach. Warm iron if desired. The sateen weave maintains its smooth texture and sheen with regular washing.
Are they a good gift?
Yes. A pair of quality cotton sateen pillowcases in a versatile neutral tone makes a practical and thoughtful gift for any occasion.
