Why we love Egyptian cotton bedding

Our Egyptian cotton bedding is light and breathable with a soothing drape which feels wonderfully comfortable against your skin. The sateen weave leaves greater thread surface exposed giving a silky-soft feel and slightly lustrous appearance. We’ve selected 600 thread count as it’s softer, more durable and delivers indulgent comfort.

Our 100% Egyptian cotton bedding comes with the authentic Egyptian cotton trademark so you can be sure that it really is pure Egyptian cotton.

The finer threads of the Egyptian cotton and the silky softness of the sateen weave gives our bed linen an oh-so-soothing feel and drape.

Unlike other cotton bed linens, Egyptian cotton becomes more comfortable with every sleep and every wash. Hello sweet dreams...

Breathable bed linen that provides comfort in every thread all year round.

Frequently asked questions

View all

An Oxford pillowcase has a decorative fabric border around the edge, usually ranging from 5cm to 10cm. A Housewife pillowcase has no border, just a plain sewn edge. Both types of pillowcase are designed to fit the same size pillows. Scooms Egyptian Cotton Pillowcases have a 5cm Oxford border and our Linen pillowcases are housewife style. Read our Pillowcase guide to find out which type of pillowcase is best for you. 

High-quality breathable pillowcases made from Egyptian cotton, organic cotton or linen are ideal. Egyptian cotton provides a luxurious look and smooth feel, while linen gives a textured, relaxed finish. Find our more in our guide: How to choose the best bed linen: 10 things to know.

With proper care, Egyptian cotton pillowcases can last 5–10 years or more. The long-staple fibres are highly durable and become softer with age and each wash. It's important to follow the care guidelines carefully to ensure that the Egyptian cotton's natural durability isn't effected by washing or drying at too high temperatures, which can weaken the fibres and make them more brittle. Read our care guide: How to clean & care for your Egyptian cotton bed linen.

Yes, Egyptian cotton has longer fibres that create a finer, stronger and softer fabric compared to standard cotton. This results in pillowcases that feel more luxurious, resist pilling and get softer with every wash, like Scooms Egyptian cotton pillowcases. See our guide to Egyptian cotton.

Scooms pillowcases are available in the standard UK pillow size: 50cm x 75cm and the larger UK King (also called Super King) pillow size: 50cm x 90cm to perfectly match Scooms pillows or your existing ones. Plus, new square Egyptian cotton pillowcases measuring 65cm x 65cm. See our Bedding size guide.
