While it may seem that a two-ply bed sheet would be a better choice with the greater number of fibers it contains, this isn’t usually the case. Two-ply sheets are often rougher and less durable, as cheaper materials are typically used. Focus more of your efforts on finding the right material and weave, but do try to stick with one-ply sheets.
Jersey:Jersey is a common knit fabric used for sheets. Known for its soft, stretchy feel, jersey is also very easy to care for. This makes it especially popular for kids’ bedding. Jersey is commonly described as having a “T-shirt material feel,” which makes sense since most T-shirts are cotton jersey knit!
Flannel sheets, on the other hand, are great for keeping warm during the colder months. Flannel sheets are made of cotton or wool and are known for their softness and insulation. When choosing flannel sheets, pay attention to the weight of the fabric, as heavier weights are generally warmer and more durable. Choose flannel sheets that weigh 5 ounces or more for a comfortable and long-lasting option.
Most of our duvet covers are produced in bedding-width fabrics, which means there are no seams across the two faces of the duvet cover. Most of our sheet fabrics are available to order as duvet covers, if you plan on sleeping without a flat sheet.
