Pillowcases

Doctors recommend sleeping between 7 and 9 hours per night to be in good shape. This means your head is in contact with your pillowcase for about a third of your life. That's why at Bonsoirs, we know how important it is to choose your pillowcase carefully.

What material should you choose for your pillowcase?

At Bonsoirs, we know that nothing beats natural fibers for soft, durable, and hypoallergenic pillowcases. The Bonsoirs pillowcase collection is therefore available in a wide variety of cotton weaves and in Linen.

Our pillowcases made from breathable cotton and linen fabrics are particularly absorbent and pleasant to the touch. They are comfortable and do not retain heat.

For sleepers looking for an ultra-smooth texture for a soft feel on the skin and hair, our cotton Sateen pillowcases are the ultimate luxury.

Cotton Gauze pillowcases are appreciated by sleepers who want to be sure they won't have allergies.

Cotton Percale: Are you looking for an immediate feeling of freshness when you lay your head down? Opt for a percale pillowcase. Its tight weave offers a smooth, cool, and breathable surface, ideal for those who get hot at night. A soft, matte touch that softens with each wash.

Washed Percale: Do you like a relaxed style and an ultra-soft feel? Choose a washed percale pillowcase. Already softened, it offers a trendy, slightly wrinkled look that requires no ironing. An easy-care material for a chic bohemian bedroom.

Cotton Flannel: Do you want a comforting feeling of warmth in winter? A flannel pillowcase is perfect for cold nights. Its brushed appearance gives it an immediate fluffy and velvety touch. No more cold sheet feeling: make way for cozy and snug comfort.

What grammage for your pillowcase fabric?

Grammage is one of the criteria indicating the quality of a cotton or linen fabric. It corresponds to the number of threads per 1 cm2 of fabric. To offer you high-end pillowcases, at Bonsoirs, we do not skimp on the thread count.

Thus, our pillowcases are guaranteed for their durability, their smooth appearance, and their soft, luxurious texture. However, do not rely solely on the thread count. Some unscrupulous manufacturers cheat to achieve a higher thread count, without the quality being there.

For example, they use an extra-fine, lower quality cotton fiber, which gives a high thread count, but a rough texture and very poor durability.

At Bonsoirs, we prioritize superior quality fibers: long-staple cotton and 100% Normandy linen.

What is the optimal size for your pillowcase?

To make your choice easier, Bonsoirs pillowcases are sold in sets of two in coordinating sizes that correspond to standard pillow sizes.

There are two pillow dimensions: Square Format (65x65 cm): Usage: The classic French format, ideal for reading sitting in bed or for back sleepers. Decor: Perfect for adding volume in the background of your pillow arrangement. Tip: Mix with rectangular formats for a hotel bed effect.

Rectangular Format (50x70 cm): Usage: The American format, often recommended by ergonomists and osteopaths. Comfort: It better supports the cervical vertebrae if you move a lot or sleep on your side, as the shoulder does not rest on the pillow. Space-saving: It takes up less height in the bed, ideal for tall people.

Bonsoirs pillowcases are all available in these two sizes, so you can do a decorative mix and match and position yourself comfortably in your bed for your evening ritual. Which pillowcase fabric for those who sweat from their head? In summer, when it's very hot, sleepers can be woken up by the humidity of the pillowcase due to perspiration.

In truth, even when the temperature doesn't reach records, many people suffer from night sweats. For these sleepers, a pillowcase that wicks away moisture well thanks to a breathable fabric is the essential condition for a good night's sleep. Cotton gauze and linen are the fabrics that allow the best evaporation of perspiration. If you like to keep your head cool, these are the best materials to choose for your pillowcase.
