Along with your duvet, pillow and mattress, the bed linen that you choose will have a big impact on how your bed feels and how you sleep. As your sheets, duvet cover and pillowcase are against your skin every night, it’s important to think about what kind of bed linen will give you the best night's sleep. There are, after all, many bed linen types.

As with any purchase, price is an important factor to consider. Sheets can vary quite widely in price, depending on the materials, quality of construction, the brand, and so on. It’s good to have an idea of your budget before you start shopping so you can narrow your options.

Sateen weave sheets feel soft, slightly silky and luxuriously smooth so this weave is often used in luxury bed linen. Sateen sheets have a slightly warmer feel than percale. It’s what we use for our Egyptian cotton bed linen. Find out all you need to know in our blog sateen weave bedding.

All cotton fabrics share one essential quality: they are moisture-wicking, meaning that, at night, they will absorb any perspiration leaving your body dry and refreshed. Also, they are very easy to care for and don’t require any special dry cleaning treatments. Simply wash your bedding in cool water using mild detergent and tumble dry low. And avoid any bleaching agents.
