Cotton
There's a reason we've been growing cotton for 6000 years. Cotton is the most common bedding material, and there are many reasons behind the popularity of this natural fibre. Cotton is a nice crisp and sturdy material, and many of us love the feel of cool, crisp cotton bedding. Good quality cotton is extremely durable and easy to care for, so it’s worth investing in pillowcases that will last! Cotton also breathes, and helps you keep cool during the night, making sure your precious sleep isn’t disrupted by overheating.

Frequently asked questions about Cotton
Can't I just use my cotton pillowcase at home?
Yes - you can. However, due to the unique shape of the Groove® pillow, most normal pillowcases have a baggy fit. This can lead to creases which feel a little uncomfortable. Our tailor-made Cotton cases are designed to fit the Groove® pillow precisely, without any annoying creases.

Tencel
The cooling effect of Tencel is one of its best-known features, so it might not come as a surprise that Tencel, or lyocell as the fibre is known as, comes from Eucalyptus trees. Made of the pulp of eucalyptus wood, the production of Tencel requires very little water, so the fabric is considered a sound and sustainable choice. Tencel is very soft and smooth, so ideal for anyone with sensitive skin, and also hydrophilic, which means moisture is wicked away from skin making it more efficient at keeping you cooler while sleeping. Say goodbye to night sweats by swapping to Tencel bedding.

Silk
Smooth, shimmering and luxurious, silk is a material that has been used through the ages as a sign of wealth and prosperity, favoured for its softness and beneficial properties. The smooth texture of the fabric reduces friction, helping skin stay smooth and hair tangle-free, so you can say goodbye to mornings with pillow creases and frizzy hair. Silk does not absorb moisture, so it also helps your skin remain hydrated all night long. Silk is also temperature regulating, making it ideal for all seasons.
Wonderfully soft and luxury feel
Kiss pillow creases and frizzy bed head goodbye
Nourishing for hair and skin
