Styling Your Bed with Linen or Cotton

LINEN

When it comes to choosing the right bed sheets for your bed, the choices can seem dizzying.  There are a variety of materials and brands to choose from, and it's important to consider your personal preferences and needs.  Whether you're looking for comfort, durability, or sustainability, there's a bed sheet to suit your needs.

If you were fortunate to be wealthy in medieval Europe, then you could use your bed to show off your status. Their impressive beds were carved out of wood, raised off the floor, and often encrusted with jewels. Four-poster beds were created during these times, with velvet drapes to keep out the bugs and cold air, and to further show off wealth. However, if you were poor, you slept either on the floor or a small raised platform with hay for a mattress and a scratchy wool blanket.

Custom bedding allows you to personalize your design to perfectly match your bedroom décor, creating a cohesive and stylish look that reflects your personal taste and style.

These are the main types of bed linen weaves:

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.

Twill:Twill is a style of weave which uses diagonal parallel ribs, which are created by passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads and then passing it under two or more warp threads. This creates a visual diagonal line pattern on the fabric, as well as making the fabric sturdy and drape nicely.

 Of course, the price of high-quality bedding is also a factor to consider.  While high-quality bedding may come with a higher price tag, it's often a worthwhile investment in terms of comfort, durability, and overall satisfaction.  When considering bedding price, it's important to weigh the cost against the quality and longevity of the bedding in order to make an informed decision.
