California Design Den Standard Queen Size Pillowcase Set - 400 Thread Count, 100% Cotton Sateen, Set of 2 Pillow Covers, Breathable, Cooling, Soft for Quality Sleep - Indigo Dusty Blue

I am very particular about bedding. I almost always choose bamboo over any other fabric for its cooling properties (and my bamboo sheets last longer than the Target cotton sheets I used for years). But I chose these pillowcases solely because they were the closest match I could find to the color of the lampshade on my guest bedroom side table. I also needed a color that would complement the other two pillowcases on my guest bed (the ones that came with and match the sheet set). It's so difficult to tell about color when ordering something off a picture on a computer screen, but these were spot on.I'm thrilled with the color, but the unexpected bonus is the very high quality. These pillowcases are thick and ample for my down pillows. The stitching and hemming are heads above anything I've bought recently. So many companies try to emulate the pillow pocket design of pricier sheets, but it is usually poorly executed (and stands out visually as an oddity). A good pillowcase will contain the pillow without this, I find. This hem is attractive (has the quarter inch trim above the hem of the opening all the way around, so there's no wrong or right side to the pillowcase).I checked both pillowcases after I washed and dried them; there's no shrinking or warping of the side seams (and not pre-shrinking fabric to stabilize it before it's used to make sheets, pillowcases, cloth napkins, etc., seems to be the new shortcut in manufacturing of too many home goods ). Surprisingly, I didn't find a single thread on the right side of the pillowcase (popping out at the seam, which is just typical these days).There is no excessive wrinkling (but all 100% cotton is going to wrinkle a bit. But it's totally presentable straight from the dryer.I liked these pillowcases so much, that I looked at the company's sheets sets and picked out a set to buy for my guest bed when I need to replace them (because they are starting to show their age). They are not as silky or cool as bamboo, but they are the best in the 100% cotton group I've seen in a long time.

These pillowcases are primo. They are all cotton and wash and dry well. These are the best all cotton pillow cases I have ever tried

My son likes how they feel. Great fabric and stays on the pillow.

Nice pillowcases, soft, good size, however, cotton fabric was little thinner than I had hoped for.I'd purchase these again though.

Love these pillowcases,the quality is excellent and price is too,I have 2 sets of the sheets in this color and another color,they are my favorite sheets.

Very nice pillow cases and good price. They washed up nice, no shrinkage.
