Mellanni Iconic Pillowcases, King, Set of 2
Soft, cheap king microfiber pillowcases in many colors, with thin fabric that wrinkles.
We bought Lirex King Size Pillow Covers, 1800 Thread Count Embroidered Soft Brushed Microfiber Pillowcases 2 Pack, Blue. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a 2 pack of king brushed microfiber pillowcases sold under a former 1800 label, at a similar price and with independent reviews.

What it does
A pair of king size brushed microfiber pillowcases with envelope closures, reviewed here in place of the Lirex 1800 thread count microfiber pair it closely matches.
- Brushed microfiber with a smooth, very soft hand
- Envelope flap keeps the pillow in without buttons or zippers
- Lightweight fabric that the maker says stays bright and smooth
- Tags list the size so the right case is easy to find
- Matches Mellanni sheet sets in the same colors
A sensible pick for anyone who wants soft, low cost microfiber pillowcases in almost any color. The trade-offs are the usual ones for polyester microfiber: testers split on whether it sleeps warm, it wrinkles and should not be ironed, and one tester saw some static.
