A buyer's guide to the Plain Percale Cushion Covers Hidden Zip

16 May 2026

The Plain Percale Cushion Covers Hidden Zip is one of the quality beddings we stock at Daffodil Collections. It sits in our Cushions & Covers range, and this is the short version of what you need to know before you choose a size.

How to choose

A UK bed is built in layers and each one does a different job: a protector to keep the mattress clean, a fitted sheet, a duvet in the right tog for the season, and pillows chosen for how you sleep rather than how they look. Buying a matched set is the easy route; buying the layers separately is how you get a bed that suits you.

Size first, then fibre, then colour. A duvet cover is cut for the DUVET and not for the bed, so a king duvet in a double cover is the most common mistake we see — and the one that is hardest to live with.

Colours and pack sizes

There are 11 colourways: White, Sea Green, Royal Blue, Red, Fuchsia, Purple, Cream, Yellow, Chocolate Brown, Navy, Pink. Colour is the one decision here that is purely yours — but if this is going into a room that is let or shared, the darker shades hide a coffee ring and the palest ones photograph best.

It is sold in Pack of 2 and Pack of 4 and Pack of 1. Buying the larger pack is how the per-item price comes down, and it is the usual reason a guest house orders here rather than in ones and twos.

The options

It is made in 24 x 24 in; 22 x 22 in; 20 x 20 in; 18 x 18 in; 16 x 16 in; 14 x 14 in. Those are the merchant's own measurements rather than a standard, so compare them against what you are replacing rather than against a size name.

Looking after it

Percale is a weave rather than a fibre — a tight, crisp, matte finish that gets better with washing. It takes a warm wash and a low tumble, and it is one of the few bedding finishes worth ironing damp if you want the hotel look.

Always follow the care label on the item itself where it differs from this — the label knows what is in the fabric, and we would rather you trusted it than us.
