Sateen sheets, on the other hand, are crafted using a unique weaving technique that gives them a smooth, shiny finish. Sateen sheets are typically made from cotton and have a luxurious sheen, making them a great choice for those who like a silky feel against their skin.
Egyptian cotton comes from a different plant (Gossypium Barbadense) to regular cotton, which is why it has different and superior properties. Egyptian cotton has extra long fibres which produce thread or yarns that are thinner and smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. This means that the threads can be woven into a luxurious durable fabric that no other cotton can match.
Flannel is generally made with either a twill or percale weave. The fabric is then napped to hide the weave. Napping is a finishing technique that gives flannel that signature fluffy, fuzzy feel. Flannel can be napped on just one side, or it can be double-napped, meaning both sides of the fabric are napped, for extra softness. Flannel is also often sheared after napping for a smoother texture.

However, excessive thread counts mean little if the fibers used are of low quality. Extra long staple cotton for beddings is best to maintain the durability of cotton fabrics. This ensures cotton bed sheets will not fray, wrinkle or pill easily after a few tumbles in the wash.


Fitted sheets have the potential to wear out more quickly than other bedding elements for a few reasons: 1. The elastic sewn on the edges create more stress on the fabric, especially when the fabric is being stretched across the mattress repeatedly. 2. The weight of our bodies shifting while sleeping creating friction on the fabric, causing wear.


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.
