Much like a lumberjack’s staple flannel button-up, the cotton in these bed sheets has been shredded and the individual yarns have been shaved to release fibers for a thicker, fuzzier feel.
When it comes to achieving a neatly made bed, the fitted sheet stands out as a cornerstone. Designed with elastic corners, a fitted sheet wraps around the mattress, providing a taut and wrinkle-free surface. This precision ensures that no matter how much you toss or turn during sleep, the sheet remains in place, offering consistent comfort.
The choice of fabric plays a crucial role in the feel and durability of the sheet. Cotton, renowned for its breathability and softness, is a preferred choice for many. Its natural fibers wick away moisture, ensuring a cool and dry sleep environment, especially during warmer nights.
But the beauty of a fitted sheet goes beyond its functionality. The snug fit accentuates the size and shape of the mattress, giving the bed a polished look. Whether you have a standard queen-or king-sized bed there's a fitted sheet perfectly tailored for you.

Our recommendation is to use both a flat and a fitted sheet, with a coverlet and/or duvet to be used on top of the flat sheet. For the more travelled customer, who loves all things European, will sleep without a flat sheet, with the duvet directly hovering over them. The caveat here is that it is easier to wash a flat sheet than it is to remove, wash and put a duvet cover back on.
And finally, brushed cotton is for those looking for something in the middle in terms of cooling/heat-retaining qualities. To turn cotton into brushed cotton, the fabric undergoes a couple of extra treatments that result in the softest flannel-like bedlinen. While both percale and sateen sheets may take a few washes to become more supple and soft, a new set of brushed cotton bedding feels like you’ve slept in it forever. It is a great year-round option because it won’t warm or cool you down excessively.
Cotton is a staple fabric spun from the fibers of cotton plants. People around the world have been cultivating it for thousands of years. One of the earliest bits of cotton is at least 7,000 years old and was found in Mexico. In Egypt and Pakistan, people were weaving cotton thread into clothing in 3,000 BC. And in the 18th century, the British first found a way to spin cotton into textile with machinery.
