100% cotton pillowcases

Happyfriday pillowcases go far beyond being a purely functional cover. They are the piece of bedding that spends the most time in direct contact with your skin, so they deserve the same attention as the rest of your bedroom. Made in Spain from 100% cotton and digitally printed with exclusive designs, they combine genuine comfort with a distinctive look you will not find anywhere else.

Breathable percale pillowcases, available in all standard sizes for beds from 90 to 200 cm. If you are unsure which fabric or size you need, see our guide to choosing a pillowcase.

Why is your pillowcase more important than you think?

A pillowcase is the piece of bedding that accumulates the most bacteria and dead skin cells over the course of a week: your face and neck are in direct contact with it for 7–9 hours every night. A quality fabric and regular hygiene can make a real difference to sleep quality and skin health, especially for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

It also acts as the first protective barrier for your pillow against everyday use, helping to extend its lifespan and keep the inside hygienic. A pillowcase that is washed properly and regularly can significantly reduce the concentration of dust mites, one of the main triggers of night-time respiratory allergies.

Size guide: which pillowcase size do you need?

The pillowcase should fit your pillow perfectly. A case that is too large wrinkles and can feel uncomfortable; one that is too small will not fit. See our complete pillowcase size guide with all sizes and their exact equivalents.

Materials: how to choose the fabric for your pillowcase

The fabric of your pillowcase directly affects its feel, breathability and comfort while you sleep. At Happyfriday, we work with 100% cotton.

Cotton percale: fresh, breathable and durable

Percale is a plain-weave fabric with a 200 thread count, giving it a slightly crisp feel at first while remaining fresh and breathable throughout the night. It is ideal for spring and summer, and for people who tend to feel warm or sweat while sleeping. It gradually softens with washing, becoming smoother and more comfortable. A quality percale pillowcase can last between 5 and 8 years with proper care.

Anti-dust-mite and hypoallergenic pillowcases

For people with respiratory allergies or sensitive skin, high-density fabric (200TC percale) acts as a barrier that helps reduce the passage of dust mites. All our pillowcases are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, guaranteeing that the product does not contain harmful substances.

Closure types: envelope, buttons and zip

The closure of a pillowcase is a functional detail that directly affects night-time comfort. Pillowcases with a fabric envelope closure (an inner flap with no visible fastening) are the most timeless and refined: there is nothing to cause discomfort during the night, and the pillow stays securely in place. Button closures offer a more secure finish and are common in quality textiles. Zip closures are the quickest and most practical to change, and are often preferred in hospitals and hotels.

At Happyfriday, our pillowcases feature a fabric envelope closure, the solution that best combines functionality, aesthetics and durability.

Exclusive designs to coordinate with your bed

One of the great advantages of Happyfriday is that all our pillowcases are designed to coordinate with the duvet covers and sheets from the same collection. You do not have to struggle to match pieces from different brands: if you choose the Flash Beat duvet cover, its matching pillowcase features the same print.

High-definition digital printing provides colour and detail fidelity that conventional screen printing cannot achieve. Every design is exclusive and created entirely by our design team in Cocentaina. That means you will not find it anywhere else.

Designed with passion, made with care

Care and maintenance of your pillowcases

Pillowcases need to be washed more frequently than any other bedding item. We recommend washing them every 3–5 days to keep them clean and hygienic. See our complete guide on how to wash pillowcases for all fabrics.

  • Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C using a delicate or bedding programme.
  • Use a neutral liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and regular fabric softener, as they can damage the fibres over time.
  • Air dry flat whenever possible. If you use a tumble dryer, choose a low temperature and a short cycle.
  • Do not leave dirty pillowcases sitting for too long: the sooner they are washed, the easier stains are to remove and the less the fabric deteriorates.

What pillowcase size do I need for a 150 cm bed?

For a 150 cm bed, you need two pillowcases. The most common sizes are 50x75 cm if you use standard individual pillows, or 45x110 cm if you use long bolster-style pillows. Always check the exact size of your pillow before buying.

What pillowcase size do I need for a 90 cm bed?

For a 90 cm bed, you need one pillowcase. The most common standard size is 45x110 cm for a long bolster-style pillow, or 50x70 cm for a more compact rectangular pillow.

How many pillowcases do I need for a double bed?

For a 135 or 150 cm bed, you normally need two pillowcases, one for each pillow. Two pillowcases are also common on 180 cm beds, although some people prefer one long bolster pillow with a single larger pillowcase.

How often should I wash my pillowcase?

Your pillowcase is in direct contact with your face and neck throughout the night, so we recommend washing it every 3–5 days, or at least once a week. It is the bedding item that requires the most frequent washing.

What does 200 thread count mean in a pillowcase?

Thread count measures the density of the weave. A 200 thread count pillowcase is made from high-quality percale: a fine, breathable and highly durable fabric.

Are button or zip pillowcases better?

Buttons are more traditional and durable and do not scratch the filling during washing. A zip provides a faster, more secure closure. Pillowcases with a fabric envelope closure (an inner flap with no visible fastening) are the most refined and comfortable option: they keep the pillow in place without any element that could cause discomfort during the night.

Are cotton pillowcases suitable all year round?

Yes. Percale is suitable all year round thanks to its freshness and breathability.

What size is a 50x70 pillowcase?

A 50x70 cm pillowcase fits standard pillows used across a range of bed sizes, from single to double beds. It is one of the most searched-for pillowcase sizes in Spain.

Are pillowcases suitable for people with allergies?

For people with dust or dust-mite allergies, high-density fabrics (200TC percale or higher) are recommended because they make it harder for allergens to pass through. The OEKO-TEX certification carried by all our pillowcases guarantees the absence of substances harmful to health.

Can I use a 60x60 pillowcase on a standard pillow?

A 60x60 cm pillowcase is designed for a European square pillow or decorative cushion, which is different from a standard rectangular sleeping pillow. Make sure you check the exact size of your pillow before buying.

How long does a pillowcase last?

With proper care (washing at 40°C and using a mild detergent), a 100% cotton pillowcase can last between 3 and 7 years. Quality percale can even become softer with washing. Replace pillowcases when they lose their softness or show visible signs of wear.
