Standard Pillow Cover - Soufflé Gauze™
Irresistibly soft—made for nuzzling
This standard pillow cover is made from Soufflé Gauze, a soft, airy fabric crafted through a careful process that takes several days. Impurities are gently removed without placing stress on the fibers, resulting in a light, exceptionally soft, and airy texture.
Highly absorbent, breathable, and warm, it feels gentle and comforting against the skin.
The envelope design makes it easy to slip on and tuck in, so you can effortlessly change the look. It is also easy to remove, replace, and machine-washable—allowing you to refresh your pillow whenever you like.
So soft, you’ll find yourself reaching for it—again and again.

Designed to Refresh
Thoughtful design and selected cotton fabric come together to renew your everyday comfort.
Discover the Comfort of Soufflé Gauze™
The secret behind our quality is "Soufflé Gauze"—a traditional Japanese Wazarashi double-layer gauze crafted with extraordinary patience. This slow, gentle process minimizes stress on the cotton fibers, preserving their natural volume to create an impossibly soft, soufflé-like texture that feels wonderfully gentle on your skin.
Choose from 6 beautiful colors to perfectly complement your space.
Designed with a zipper-free envelope closure, extra fabric folds neatly inside to hold your pillow securely. Because of this tucked design, the cover length is slightly longer than standard pillow dimensions.
