Pima cotton is a hybrid of cotton developed in the Americas. It rivals Egyptian cotton in quality. It is sturdy and long wearing. The fibers are long, and it makes great fabric for bedding or clothing - try a pima cotton t-shirt; you'll be amazed.
Because Pima cotton is so sturdy, a high-thread count product like these pillowcases at 525 is substantial. These pillowcases are by no means thin or flimsy. If you are not accustomed to fabric with a hand like this, your perception may at first be it is a bit stiff. It isn't. This fabric drapes beautifully. The pillowcases are smooth and soft.
These come of out of the dryer with a slight bit of crinkliness, but that's gone when you fold them. They smooth out easily and do not require ironing. You should wash them separately first, but I have never had a problem with colorfastness. I've bought these pillowcases before. I keep coming back to them because they are the finest I've found. I do not think you can find a better cotton pillowcase. I keep an eye out for a sale. If they're under $50 a pair for King size, I buy. If they're under $35, I buy multiples!Get more detail about
