What do I look for in bed sheets?
When it comes to choosing your bed linen there are a few important things to look out for. First up is the thread count (the number of strands woven into one square inch of fabric) – the higher the thread count, generally, the softer the fabric.
There’s also the type of material to consider – for example, do you want cotton or a linen blend? As well as the type of weave – there’s percale (where the shorter, rougher fibres are combed out), sateen (which is woven to create a silky smooth surface with a luminous sheen) or flannel (which is brushed after weaving to give a soft, fluffy surface texture), amongst others. So it’s best to do some research before you go to buy.
Of course, there’s your own personal style to consider as well. Do you want more neutral-coloured bedding or a jazzier print so your bed acts as the statement of the room?
What’s the difference between thread counts?
Simply put, the higher the thread count, the more threads there are within the fabric. Bedding with a higher thread count, like 750, tends to feel softer and less dense which can give off a more luxurious feel to it – it’s also more likely to soften over time. However, a higher thread count often means more expensive bedding.
Thread counts range from 180 through to 1000, but softness is mostly dependent on the quality of the fibre so make sure you keep that in mind.

What is the best quality bedding?
The most popular option for bedding is 100% cotton sheets because they feel natural and soft. Premium cotton, like pima or Egyptian, is considered luxury bedding because it’s softer and more durable – but this comes with a more expensive price tag.
