400 thread count cotton sateen
Thread count is the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. These pillowcases are 400 thread count in a sateen weave, which gives a smooth finish with a slight sheen.
What is cotton sateen?
Cotton sateen is woven differently from percale. The result feels smooth and soft with a slight sheen, where percale has a crisper finish. If you want the crisp feel, see the 200TC percale pillowcases.
Care
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Tumble dry on low or air dry, and avoid over-drying. A warm iron gives a crisp finish if you want one. The rest of the range is the 400TC sateen bed linen, fitted sheets and flat sheets.

Sateen is a cotton weave that feels smooth and soft with a slight sheen. It is woven differently from percale, which has a crisper, matte finish.
Will they match my other 400TC bedding?
They belong to the 400TC cotton sateen range with the fitted and flat sheets, which are also 400 thread count, 100% cotton sateen, so the fabric is the same. Order the pillowcases with the sheets if you want everything from one batch, because we cannot promise an exact shade match between batches.
How do they compare with the 200TC percale pillowcases?
Both are 100% cotton. The 400TC pillowcases are sateen, with a smooth finish and a slight sheen. The 200TC percale pillowcases are crisper, and customers describe them as crisp and soft, though one found a pair shrank slightly. Choose by the feel you prefer.
