Hotel Linen Supplier for Bulk Hotel Pillowcases from India

Standard hotel pillowcase sizes vary by region: Standard (USA/Canada) — 51×71cm (20×28 inches). Fits standard and queen pillows. Most common in North American hotels. Queen (USA/Canada) — 51×91cm (20×36 inches). Fits queen pillows. King (USA/Canada) — 51×107cm (20×42 inches). Fits king pillows, used in premium rooms. Standard UK/Australia — 50×75cm. Fits standard UK pillow insert. European/Continental — 65×65cm or 80×80cm square. Used as decorative euro shams or for European-style bedding. Housewife pillowcase — sewn end closure with no flap. Oxford pillowcase — sewn border (flange) around the opening for a decorative frame effect. Anabyn manufactures all regional sizes with allowances for both insert tolerance and machine-sewing finishing.

The closure type determines how the pillow insert is retained in the pillowcase: Envelope closure (also called housewife or tuck-in) — the open end has a fabric flap extension (typically 15–20cm) that folds back over the pillow insert to retain it. No fasteners required. Easy to insert and remove the pillow. Most widely used in hotels globally for ease of laundry and re-making. Zip closure — a concealed or visible zip runs along the opening seam. Provides more secure retention, preferred for decorative throw pillows and cases that need to retain shape for display. Harder to launder at speed in hotel operations due to zip snagging. Hidden zip — a luxury option where the zip is concealed within a fabric flap. Used in premium hotels for decorative Euro pillow shams. For standard hotel room pillow covers, envelope closure is the industry standard. Zip closures are more common for decorative cushion covers and Euro shams.

Thread count recommendations for hotel pillowcases by star rating: 200 TC — minimum for hotel use. Functional, durable, economical. Good for budget hotels and high-turnover student accommodation. Suitable for percale plain weave only. 250–300 TC — the most popular hotel pillowcase specification. Comfortable against the face, withstands repeated laundering, available in percale and sateen weaves. Good for 3- and 4-star hotels. 400 TC — premium specification for upscale hotels. Noticeably softer against skin, preferred in 4- and 5-star bedrooms where guest face-contact comfort is a priority. Combed cotton at this TC provides exceptional softness. 500–600 TC — luxury specification for 5-star and resort properties. High thread count sateen pillowcases deliver a distinctive skin-feel quality. Anabyn supplies all TC tiers in both percale and sateen weaves with OEKO-TEX certification.
