How Do You Like Your Bed Linen To Feel?

Whether you like crisp and cool, or cozy and warm, it’s worth investing in high-quality bed linen, because it really does affect the way we sleep. That’s why we only pick the finest cotton, linen, silk and cashmere to craft ours. We spin these long-staple, natural fibers into supremely smooth, strong and soft yarns. When woven together, the resulting cloth feels beautifully breathable, cool and comfortable to sleep beneath. If you’re not sure which fabric you’d like best, follow our guide below.

Cool and crisp

Cotton percale is one of the most popular fabrics as it combines softness and strength, woven tightly to produce a firm, smooth fabric.

Smooth and silky

Cotton sateen has a smoother, more delicate finish that boasts a silky feel and a slight sheen, which drapes beautifully on the bed.

SHOP COTTON SATEEN BED LINEN

Exquisitely soft with a beautiful drape, cotton silk has an understated matte-sheen finish and temperature-regulating benefits.

SHOP COTTON SILK BED LINEN

Cosy and soft

A super-soft cotton that’s woven and brushed into a snuggly flannel fabric, perfect for sleeping beneath on colder nights.

Care tip

To keep flannel bedding looking its best, we always recommend to wash the items alone in the washing machine, without mixing with other items of clothing so they have space, therefore avoiding friction between each item and reducing the risk of pilling on the fabric surface. Once removed from washing machines, do not twist the bedding too much to eliminate excess moisture as it may deform the pieces. If using a tumble drying to dry, it must be at a low temperature, thus prolonging the life of flannel sheets.

Warm in winter and cool in summer

Linen cleverly helps to keep you warm in Winter and cool in Summer. Made from fibres of the flax plant it has a wonderfully relaxed feel.
