Ultimately, the right bed sheets for your bed will depend on your personal preferences and needs.  Whether you prioritize comfort, sustainability, or durability, there's a bed sheet to suit your needs.  By considering the material, thread count, and bedsheet manufacturer, you can find the perfect sheets to ensure a comfortable, restful sleep.

Jersey:Jersey is a common knit fabric used for sheets. Known for its soft, stretchy feel, jersey is also very easy to care for. This makes it especially popular for kids’ bedding. Jersey is commonly described as having a “T-shirt material feel,” which makes sense since most T-shirts are cotton jersey knit!

As we spend around a third of our lives in bed, investing in the right bed sheet type is essential if you want to ensure that you have a good night's sleep. 

Bed linen colour is a very personal choice. The most popular colours for bed sheets are neutral colours like white and cream, while popular duvet cover and pillowcase colours include white, grey, pink and green in various shades.

Brushed cotton is made from loosely spun cotton. It has been carefully brushed to create a soft and fuzzy raised texture, which holds in your body heat, resulting in a fabric that's warm and cosy, but still breathable.

Cotton is a staple fabric spun from the fibers of cotton plants. People around the world have been cultivating it for thousands of years. One of the earliest bits of cotton is at least 7,000 years old and was found in Mexico. In Egypt and Pakistan, people were weaving cotton thread into clothing in 3,000 BC. And in the 18th century, the British first found a way to spin cotton into textile with machinery.

EGYPTIAN COTTON Egyptian cotton has it’s fabulous reputation for a reason. This type of fabric is one of the most luxurious varieties on the market due to it’s impressive qualities. Egyptian cotton is different from standard cotton because it is made with extra-long fibers which makes for a softer fabric.

In the practical sense, the Duvet Cover protects your duvet and is easily removed and cared for.

Much like a lumberjack’s staple flannel button-up, the cotton in these bed sheets has been shredded and the individual yarns have been shaved to release fibers for a thicker, fuzzier feel. 

In the 18^th century, although usually made from wood, bedframes also started to be constructed using metal. Mattresses were stuffed with cotton and maids and personal valets no longer slept on trundles on the floor. The bed was not used for receiving visitors, but rather as a private space. In the 19^th century, the four-poster beds were less lavish, and metal bedsprings were invented. It was during the 20^th century when the water bed was created, as well as the air, innerspring, and memory foam mattresses, and now in the 20^th century, we are spoilt for choice!

Just like with most things, though, not all cotton plants are created equal. Egyptian cotton that grows along the Nile River produces the highest quality textiles because of its extra-long staples.
