Bamboo pillowcases

Bamboo pillowcases in 60 x 63 and 50 x 70 cm

A bamboo pillowcase is the simplest way to try bamboo in bed, and it is also what you change most often. In this category you will find 8 pillowcases from Nordic Weaving, all in 100 % bamboo lyocell. The fabric is satin woven and smooth against skin and hair, and the case closes with a zip at the end, so the pillow stays inside. You can buy them separately as extra pillowcases, as spares for your bedding or for an extra pillow.

Which size fits your pillow

There are two sizes. 60 x 63 cm is for a square pillow, and this size comes in every colour. 50 x 70 cm is for a more oblong pillow, and it comes in white, taupe, plaza taupe and shitake. Measure your pillow before you order. A pillowcase that is too big creates folds, and one that is too small presses the pillow flat. The guide to pillowcases that fit the pillow explains how to measure.

The colours

The pillowcases come in eight colours: white, light beige, sand, khaki, taupe, plaza taupe, shitake and dark grey. These are the same colour names as in the Nordic Weaving bedding, so you can buy extra pillowcases that match your duvet cover, or deliberately choose another shade for a little contrast in the bed. White and the light sand shades are calm and suit most bedrooms, while dark grey and shitake give a darker look.

Why lyocell and a satin weave

Lyocell is a way of making fibre from bamboo, and the fabric becomes smooth and even. The satin weave gives a sheen that feels cool when you rest your head on the pillow. Nordic Weaving itself describes the fabric as smooth against both skin and hair, and many people choose it for exactly that reason. To learn more about what a pillowcase means for skin and hair, read bamboo pillowcases and what they do for skin and hair.

How many do you need

The pillowcase is closer to your face than anything else in the bed, so many people change it more often than the rest of their bedding. If you have two or three pillowcases per pillow, you can change them while the others are in the wash, without waiting for the whole set. Separate pillowcases are also practical if you have more pillows in the bed than your bedding set covers, or if you have an extra pillow for reading.

The whole set

If you want the whole bed in the same material, you will find duvet covers with pillowcases under bamboo bedding, and you can see the rest of the range from the same brand under Nordic Weaving.
