I have been using these pillow cases for about a month. I have the baby blue colored pillow cases. These pillow cases are offered in a very large array of colors as well. It states that they are 1000 thread count pillow cases. They are made from Egyptian silk saying they are 100% mercerized cotton woven sateen. I had the pleasure to try standard size pillow cases.
They claim these pillow cases to be high quality. I am not sure I would be able to give them a high quality rating. I will give them a very good quality. How I came to this, when I first opened up the package I pulled them out of the sleeve and then I had to trim off the excess strings from it being sewn together. I feel something that is labeled as high quality would not miss such a trivial fix. I under stand there may be 1/4 of an inch after being trimmed, but there were some as long as 6 inches still attached to my pillow cases.
The pillow cases are soft to the touch and comfortable to put your head on for sure. They are not the most soft 1000 count pillow cases I have had, but they are much better then your local Wal-Mart bottom shelf cases. To be honest to my touch they come across as more of a 400-600 thread count pillow case. This could be all on the type of cotton that is actually used in the various pillow cases I have used prior.
Upon first getting these pillow cases you will need to wash them, to make them feel much more soft then out of the package directly. To do this it is recommended to wash in cold water. Wash these with other colored cloths that are not going to bleed or stain the new pillow cases. It also states that if you are going to use bleach washing these that you do not use a chlorine bleach. Lastly when drying them make sure to have the setting to low heat. If you must, you can use a warm iron as well on these but only to a warm setting.
These pillow cases for standard size do barely fit a standard pillow in them. I have been using these pillow cases for about a month now. I have not seen them breaking down or any issues with the stitch work pulling out. So if you are in the market for some very good quality pillow cases, these pillow cases are not a bad choice at all to consider. I would like to thank L&Z Inc. for sending me these pillow cases to try out and leave my opinion.
