A buyer's guide to the Polycotton Percale Pillowcase Pair

21 May 2026

The Polycotton Percale Pillowcase Pair is one of the pillow sets we stock at Daffodil Collections. It sits in our Pillowcases range, and this is the short version of what you need to know before you choose a size.

How to choose

Pillow height follows how you sleep, not how the pillow looks on the bed. A side sleeper needs enough loft to fill the gap between ear and shoulder; a back sleeper needs less; a front sleeper needs the flattest thing they can find. Get that wrong and it is felt in the neck rather than the bed.

Fill decides the upkeep. Memory foam holds its shape and is spot-cleaned; hollowfibre is washable and needs replacing more often; a contour shape is a commitment to one sleeping position. Buy them in pairs so the bed stays even.

Colours and pack sizes

There are 22 colourways: Azure Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Blue, Chocolate Brown, Dark Beige, Dark Blue, Magenta, Dark Purple, Fuchsia, Light Beige, Sea Green, Light Mocha, Lemon, Muted Lilac, Orchid, Pacific Blue, Parrot Green, Pastel Purple, Pistachio Green, Purple, Multi. 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.

Looking after it

Polycotton is the easy-care option: a warm wash, a low tumble and very little ironing. The polyester in the blend is what resists creasing, and it is also why a hot iron should be kept off it.

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.

For hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets

Bedsheets for hotels and B&Bs are washed at a temperature and a frequency no household matches, so the things that matter are the seams, the elastic and how the colour holds. That is why the hospitality trade buys in quantity and in one colour: a matched stock of quality hotel beddings is what makes a linen cupboard workable.

If you are buying for a business, our trade account is where the wholesale beddings pricing lives — the terms are on that page and they are read from the account, not from this article.
