100 cotton towels
Brushed cotton, a term that refers to the process of treating cotton fabric to create a soft, velvety texture, is a staple in winter bedding for its exceptional insulation properties. The brushing process removes short fibres, leaving behind a dense layer of long fibres that traps air, thereby providing excellent warmth without excessive weight. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a comfortable night's sleep during colder seasons.
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric, both horizontally and vertically. Typically, the higher the thread count, the smoother and more durable the sheet. With an 1800 thread count, these sheets surpass the standard, offering a level of refinement that is hard to match.
Cons: However, with higher production costs, linen bed sheets are naturally more expensive than cotton. And while linen fabrics get softer with every wash, the roughness of flax fibers will never achieve the silky smoothness of cotton. It is also prone to more shrinkage in the first few washes, but only by a small margin - while cotton shrinks on an average of 1-3%, linen shrinks around 3-5%. This can be avoided by separating linen sheets from the rest of the items in the first few washes, washing on a cool cycle, and avoiding harsh detergents and bleaches.
