Natural fibers like cotton, linen, or silk are all very breathable, meaning it is easy for air to flow through them. This makes them popular among hot sleepers, as they won’t trap too much heat. (Be sure to choose a lower thread count cotton sheet, like a percale sheet, to promote cooling.)
Thread count refers to the number of threads (both horizontal and vertical) in one square inch of material. Generally speaking, the greater the number, the smoother, more durable the sheet. At one point thread count played a large part in what type of sheets sleepers bought, but it’s becoming more important to focus on the overall quality instead.
'Microfiber sheets are very soft, wrinkle-free and typically less expensive than traditional cotton,' says Bed Bath & Beyond. 'However, it can wear down more quickly and is prone to pilling.'

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.
Looking After Bed Linen And Fitted Sheets
However, these are not to be confused with Belgium or French Flax Linen. Manufacturers created this subtle distinction to determine how much of the linen production process is done in its country of origin.
One of the most common applications of twill is to create denim, but it is also used in sheets and other bedding. Twill tends to have a higher thread count, which also makes it a warmer fabric.

When purchasing bedsheets, be sure to read product descriptions and customer reviews to get an idea of the bedsheet's performance and durability. Look for bed sheets labeled Anti-pilling or Anti-pilling for even more assurance. It's also a good idea to wash your bed sheets according to the bedsheets manufacturer's instructions and avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these may cause pilling.
Blanket
A blanket is a generic term that refers to almost any bed covering thicker than a sheet, including quilts, duvets, and comforters. It can also refer to a more utilitarian woven covering that is sandwiched between a flat sheet and another layer primarily for warmth. A blanket drapes over the sides of the bed. Our Chatham blanket is a versatile favorite.
Thread count, ply, weave — what do any of these things even mean? We know you want your bedroom to be a comfortable and warm space to relax and wind down for the day. But with so many types of bed sheets to choose from (and all the jargon thrown around in the industry), it’s easy to give up and purchase a shabby pair that could work okay.
Cotton is a plant that loves warmer weather and it takes several months for it to produce the fluffy cotton balls that we all know. After the plants are harvested, they are defoliated and send to the cotton gin. There, the cotton fibers are combed — this is done for cleaning and fiber straightening purposes — and then spun into yarn.
