Wholesale Pillowcases – Soft, Safe & Stylish Options for Homes and Hotels

A pillowcase does more than just cover your pillow — it protects against sweat, oils, dust mites, and allergens while adding comfort and elegance to your bed. At Absolute Home Textiles, we supply premium pillowcases in the UK for homes, hotels, care homes, and institutions. Our certified range (Sedex & TSA) guarantees softness, durability, and ethical manufacturing. Whether you need crisp cotton, smooth sateen, or waterproof designs, our collection blends comfort, style, and long-lasting value.

Why Choose Quality Pillowcases?

A good pillowcase enhances sleep quality and extends pillow life. It also impacts hygiene and comfort — especially in settings where bedding is changed frequently, such as hotels or care facilities. Our collection offers everything from everyday cotton pillowcases to flame-retardant and waterproof options for specialised use.

Materials & Fabrics in Our Pillowcase Range

Here are the main materials and fabric types in our pillowcase collection, and what they offer:

100% Cotton

Cotton Percale has crisp, breathable, and matte finish. It is great in summer or for warm sleepers. Sateen has smooth, soft sheen, and heavier feel. It works well in cooler climates, or if you like a silky finish. Long-Staple Cotton is higher quality fibre, stronger and with more durable yarns.

Cotton-Rich / Polycotton Blends

These combine cotton with polyester to get a balance: softer feel of cotton, faster drying, resistance to wrinkling, strength under frequent washes. Ideal for guest rooms, rentals, student accommodation or institutions.

Microfibre & Polyester

Lightweight, budget-friendly, quick-drying, often more colour fast. Ideal where cost, frequent laundry, fast turnover matter more than premium feel.

Bamboo, Modal & Other Natural Blends

Fabric options made with bamboo fibres, modal or blends are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. They are naturally moisture-wicking, soft, sometimes hypoallergenic, and more environmentally friendly.

Flame Retardant & Safety Fabrics

For institutions, care homes, or certain legal/regulatory requirements, pillowcases that comply with BS 7175 / Crib 7 standards are important. These are specially treated or constructed to resist ignition. We offer FR envelope style and other FR pillowcases in our range.

Thread Count & Fabric Quality

Choosing the right thread count (TC) and pick count helps you select pillowcases that suit your needs. Pick / Weave is how many weft threads are woven in; higher picks usually means denser fabric, more durability. Thread Count shows the number of threads per square inch in fabric. Common UK pillowcase thread counts are:

• 120TC / 130TC / 144TC: Lightweight, breathable, good for budget, institutions, or warm climates.
• 180TC / 200TC: Balanced softness & durability. Very common in domestic or hospitality use.
• 300TC+ / 400TC: Luxury feel, smoother, softer, generally more expensive.

Care, Maintenance & Longevity

To get the most from your pillowcases, following care advice is essential:

1. Most cotton/cotton-rich pillowcases wash well at 40-60°C. 
2. Bleach can damage fibres; avoid if not needed. 
3. Gentle detergent especially for delicate fabrics, bamboo blends or sateen finishes.
4. Tumble dry low or line dry
5. To avoid excessive wear, swap pillowcases regularly; washing every few days helps.
