From a practical standpoint folding and ironing flat sheets is fairly easy, however, fitted sheets are more difficult to fold neatly and iron because of the elasticated corners. Opt for modern lightweight polyester/cotton fabrics and your bed linen probably won't need ironing anyway!

Crafted with naturally long fibers, bamboo is super-durable and is unlikely to pill or tear. And, as it doesn't absorb moisture (unlike cotton), it won't take on natural oils from your skin, meaning it's less likely to discolor and more likely to last longer.
