Materials and Thread Count

The decorative pillows that are part of the main bed-scape are commonly made with a firmer material—usually a feather composition with some down. These aren’t intended for sleep, but for propping up in bed and punctuating design.

Sateen weave is a type of cotton weave, which is one thread over and three threads under. This is different from the percale cotton weave – the traditional one thread over and one thread under. These additional threads make sateen slightly warmer on the skin, so it's great for cooler sleepers.

Different fabrics and weaves have different characteristics and therefore have a different feel. The best bed linen is made with the highest quality natural materials and woven to the highest standards.

Silk Sheets

Linen, just like cotton, has also been around for millennia. It’s a trendy bedding option because it’s one of the most breathable fabrics on the market and because of its incredibly chic look that oozes effortless elegance and coziness.

Cleaning and Caring for Linen Sheets

  In summary, when choosing great quality sheets that won’t pill, consider the material, thread count, layers, and construction of the sheet.  Whether you choose bamboo, cotton, Tencel or linen, investing in great quality sheets can significantly extend the life and comfort of your bedding.
