Organic Cotton Body Pillow Case

A body pillow is the one you actually hold, so the case on it gets more contact than anything else in the bed.Most body pillow cases are cut short of a full 72 inch pillow, which is why they ride up and bunch by morning. Ours are sewn to the same dimensions we sew the pillows to, so the case runs the whole length.Sateen is a four-over-one float, so four of every five threads sit on the surface rather than being tied down into the weave. That is where the low sheen and the cool slide come from, and because it is structural rather than a finish, it survives washing. The count is 300, near the top of what a square inch of cotton will hold before the yarn has to be thinned to fit. The cotton is long-staple, so the yarn spins fine and even without the short ends that make cheaper cotton pill.It slips on, with no zipper and no buttons, so there is nothing hard against you all night.The color is the cotton's own. No bleaching and no optical brighteners, so it reads as a warm natural off-white rather than the blue-white of most bedding.Cut and sewn in New Jersey. The sateen carries Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification under license GOTS-10229, issued by Oregon Tilth, and the license number is public so you can check it yourself.
