FYI

We’ve updated the name and link for our sateen sheet pick from JC Penney to Wrinkle Guard 400 Thread Count Sheet Set. We’ve also added links to buy comforters in the more bedding basics section.

We’ve done hundreds of hours of research and slept on dozens of different sheets in order to figure out just what makes a great set stand out from the rest. If you’re lost in the bedding aisle while trying to figure out what to buy, this guide will help you walk away with a winner.

The first step is to figure out what texture of fabric you like and how warm or cool you want to feel when sliding into bed. Most people should have at least one or two sets of cotton percale or sateen sheets for year-round use, but you may want to invest in flannel or linen sets depending on how cold or warm your room gets seasonally (or mix and match different types of sheets for extra comfort).

We recommend buying sheets made from long-staple cotton or linen, since they’re breathable and long-lasting. Sheets made from microfiber or bamboo rayon have environmental costs with no real benefit over natural fibers. In addition to helping you pinpoint the type of sheets to buy, we’ll help you figure out the right size and color of sheets for your bed, whether to buy a set or individual pieces, how to parse thread counts, and when you might want to spring for organic bedding.

Our pick

Wrinkle Guard 400 TC Sheet Set

If you prefer soft and smooth drapey sheets that resist wrinkling, this set feels luxurious and is better than sets twice the price.

Read more about the best sheets

If you’re on the hunt for versatile, everyday cotton sheets and like the feeling of light and crisp fabric against your skin, look for the word “percale” on the package. This cool, breathable cotton weave works well for warmer temperatures or hot sleepers, but can easily be combined with a warmer layer for cooler weather. After rigorous testing, we’ve found that the best percale feels soft with a matte finish, similar to high-end hotel bedding. Quality percale costs between $50 and $150 for a queen set and should have a thread count between 200 and 300.

If you want your hand to slide luxuriously over dense, sleek fabric, then richer sateen is for you. It’s also made from cotton, but thanks to a satin weave it feels very smooth, silky, and slightly warmer than percale. It’s still breathable, so it’s also good for year-round use. Good sateen will have a tight weave that resists snagging, and the fabric should have a subtle luster. A nice set should cost about the same as percale, between $50 and $150 for a queen, but the thread count should be between 300 and 600 (the weave requires more threads per square inch). Be wary, though, of super-high thread counts on sateen sheets; these numbers are sometimes falsely inflated by manufacturers looking to catch your eye.

Budget pick

Read more about the best sheet sets for $50 or less

If you’re on a budget, or just need sheets for a guest bed or dorm room, you can certainly get by with cheaper sheets. In our testing, we found that the quality of sets costing $50 or less (for a queen) can be pretty hit-or-miss. Many are rough, with shoddy stitching, as opposed to the superior feel and make of higher-end sheets. But we have tried at least one surprisingly good set in this price category. Basically, for the cheaper price you’ll usually trade softness and longevity. In our tests, cheaper sateen sheets have felt better to sleep on than cheap percale, likely because sateen is softer in general.

Our pick

Read more about the best flannel sheets

For particularly warm sheets to combat winter cold (or a chilly bedroom) go with flannel. It’s also usually made from cotton, but it’s warmer and cozier than either percale or sateen. Its fibers have been brushed (or napped), so they’re fluffy rather than smooth. These fibers trap more air, and therefore retain more heat. In our tests, we found that the best flannel sheets will keep you warm without clinging to your body or making you sweat. Flannel sheets won’t list a thread count. Instead, quality is indicated by ounces (the weight per square yard). A good flannel will be around 5 or 6 ounces and will cost roughly $150 for a queen set.

Our pick

Cultiver Linen Sheets

This is one of the softest sets we tried, it’s sold by the piece, and it comes in a wider range of colors and prints. We’ve also heard fewer complaints about the fabric wearing thin prematurely.

Read more about the best linen sheets

To keep cool in muggy, hot weather consider linen. It’s made from flax, so it has a rougher, nubby texture and a more open weave. It wicks away sweat even better than cotton, making it ideal for temperature control in extreme heat, but its thicker texture will also keep you warm. Linen isn’t for everyone, though. If you prefer very soft, silky fabrics, you may not like the chunky feel of the fabric. Some people love the rustic, rumpled style of linen, but others will just think it looks wrinkled. In our extensive research and long-term testing, we found that linen sheets can have durability issues (especially with the bottom sheet). They’re also a big investment. Entry-level sets cost about $250 for queen size, while nicer sets will cost $400 or more. Although linen manufacturers measure thread count, the material’s fibers are much thicker than cotton—aim for a thread count between 80 and 120.

The research

How to choose the right set for your bed

Buying great sheets is more than just about the fabric. You’ll want to get sheets that fit your bed properly and that are easy to to clean. Photo: Michael Hession

Good sheets can last 5 to 10 years if you care for them properly. But you probably won’t want to keep them around if they don’t fit your bed nicely or start to look dingy after a few years. Here are some factors to consider before investing in a set.

Fit
Check the size and depth of your mattress (including a mattress topper) before shopping. Most regular sheets will fit most mattresses, but if you have a very thick mattress—such as one with a pillow topper, or if you use a separate topper—you may need sheets labeled “deep” or “extra deep.” Many sheet brands include depth in their measurements, but some don’t. Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee the bottom sheet will fit (short of doing a bit of extra legwork with customer service and asking about the depth). Just another great reason to buy from a brand with a good return policy.

Measure the depth of your mattress from where it hits your bed frame (or box spring) to the highest point of the top. If you use a mattress topper, make sure to also measure the topper. Photo: Amadou Diallo

The right fitted sheet will be taut on the mattress and require a little tug to pull it into place. You shouldn’t need to wage war with the material just to pull the pocket—the squared-off seam at each corner—over your mattress. For the best fit, the fitted sheets you buy should have at least 2 to 3 inches more pocket depth than your mattress in order to allow the excess slack to tuck under the corners and stay in place.

Color/pattern
A new set of sheets can be a great way to add vivid color or pattern to your bed. Just keep in mind that brightly hued or patterned sheets might be harder to care for than white sheets that you can bleach or use OxiClean on. Stains from kids, sweat, periods, or bedtime snacks will be harder to remove without these more aggressive cleaning methods. If you use acne cream, you may also want to consider white or light-colored sheets (at least pillowcases), because the benzoyl peroxide can bleach the fabric. In our experience, white or solid-colored sheets will always look newer longer than those with patterns, especially those with lots of contrast, which we have found tend to look dingy more quickly.

Set vs. individual pieces
Buying a set can be a great value. You’ll likely get the pillowcases and fitted and flat sheets for less than purchasing by the piece. However, we think that brands that also offer individual top or bottom sheets are smart. These days, many people are choosing to forgo the top sheet and sleep directly under a duvet (use a washable cover if you decide to do this) rather than making a traditional, two-sheet bed.

Top and bottom sheets also often wear differently, since bottom sheets bear the weight of your body every night (the harder job by far). From our research and long-term testing, we’ve found that linen fitted sheets are especially prone to wear thin. This can also be an issue with percale or sateen sheets if you or a sleeping partner have rough feet. It’s nice to have the option to replace just one worn-out sheet rather than being forced to buy a whole new set. Pillowcases also sometimes need replacing more often. Because they’re next to your face, they may get stained or wear more quickly. Or, you may want to buy a few extra cases so you can change them more frequently than your other bedding without doing a load of laundry.

What’s the best thread count for sheets?

Thread count indicates quality—to a point. Manufacturers and retailers sometimes inflate thread counts to make you think you’re getting better quality. Photo: Michael Hession

Thread count—the number of vertical and horizontal threads in 1 square inch of fabric—is often a good indicator of a quality material, but not always. A higher number of threads per inch usually means each yarn is finer, so more of them will fit in the square, creating a smooth yet strong weave. As we mention above, thread counts of 200 to 300 for percale, 300 to 600 for sateen, and 80 to 120 for linen should indicate a good-quality fabric. Beware of higher thread counts than these numbers, though, especially with sateen.

If a fabric is made with two-ply yarn—when two individual threads are twisted together—manufacturers will sometimes count each ply, thus doubling their thread count artificially. That’s why you’ll see some sheets advertised with 800, 1,000, or even higher thread counts. A thicker, two-ply yarn doesn’t create the same result as when those two threads are woven individually. Remember, finer threads are what creates softness, so using two-ply yarn results in a rougher feel that doesn’t live up to the numbers.

Pima, Egyptian, Turkish, and other cotton terminology

You’ll often find terms like Pima, Egyptian, or Turkish cotton on sheet labels. This can mean the sheets are made with the best-quality cotton, but not always. Great sheets (including all of our picks, save the budget Target set) are made from long-staple cotton. Staple refers to the length of each cotton fiber. A longer staple means that the resulting thread, and therefore the finished fabric, will be smoother, stronger, and more flexible, which increases durability and longevity (and just plain feels better, too). Long staple fibers measure about 1⅛ to 1¼ inch, while extra-long staple fibers are 1⅜ inch or more.

But simply naming cotton’s origin “Egyptian” or “Turkish” doesn’t guarantee better quality cotton, and, in fact, savvy manufacturers sometimes slap those labels on their products made from short staple fibers. Pima is technically a strain of long-staple cotton, but some manufacturers also use the term generically to label lower quality cotton. The only way to guarantee you’re actually getting long or extra-long-staple cotton is if your sheets are labeled as such. However, if you see the word “Supima,” it means that the sheets are made from long-staple, US-grown Pima cotton, and are verified by the Supima council.

What about organic or “eco-friendly” bedding?

If you’re concerned about the environmental impact of your purchases, it can be worth seeking out sheets made from organic cotton or those with certain certifications. Just keep in mind that you may not necessarily get a better set of sheets. Cotton crops generally need a lot of water and are extremely prone to pests, which makes organic farming very difficult—long-staple cotton is often nearly impossible to grow without the help of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers (although organic versions of these substances also exist). Shorter cotton fibers often result in fabric that is less durable and rougher, a trade-off you may or may not be willing to make.

From field to fabric, cotton also undergoes a variety of treatments, regardless of whether it was conventionally or organically grown. These can include being bleached, mercerized (treated with sodium hydroxide to improve luster), dyed, and starched. Washing new sheets before you use them for the first time should remove many of these added substances. However, if you see words like “wrinkle-free” or “no-iron” on the label, it often means those sheets were treated with formaldehyde or urea-based resin to keep them smoother over the long-term. These treatments can remain on the fabric after washing and, for some, may cause skin irritation.

If you want to avoid synthetic substances or support organic farming practices, look for certifications like the Global Organic Textile Certification (GOTS) or Oeko-Tex. GOTS is a third-party certifier that ensures that the cotton that bears its label is not only organically grown, but also adheres to strict processing standards, prohibiting the use of toxic metals and certain solvents, and also monitors the water and energy needed for manufacturing. Textiles labeled as Oeko-Tex aren’t specifically organic, but are instead certified (through extensive testing) to be free from substances that are potentially harmful to humans and the environment such as formaldehyde, plasticizers, and heavy metals (to name a few).

More bedding basics

Great sheets aren’t the only important element for a comfortable bed. We’ve researched and reviewed many more of the essentials that will help you outfit your room and get a solid night’s sleep.

Our pick

Novaform ComfortGrande

This Costco bestseller is a great value, made from layers of foam that are as dense (and probably as durable) as mattresses that cost twice as much. Testers loved its cuddly yet supportive feel, but some found it too firm.

If you wake up achy or feeling unrested, your current mattress might not be supporting your body as it should. Getting a new mattress may help you sleep better. We’ve researched more than 40 online mattress companies and set up a showroom of over 17 mattresses to test with 29 staffers. We have picks for side-sleepers, stomach-sleepers, and back-sleepers. All of our picks come with easy returns—which is important, since it can take a month or longer for your body to adjust to a new mattress.

Our pick

Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow

A longtime favorite among our testers, this pillow has moldable, customizable filling that offers firm support for back- and side-sleepers. What it doesn’t have: the lingering chemical smell we’ve noticed in some other shredded foam.

Buying Options

Sleep Number PlushComfort Pillow Ultimate

This customizable down-alternative pillow is softer than shredded foam, so it’s better for stomach-sleepers who need less loft than the Nest Easy Breather provides. It’s also much less messy to adjust.

Another culprit for poor sleep: clumpy, flattened, or too-lofty pillows. As with mattresses, the right pillow for you will really depend on your sleep position. Side- and back-sleepers need more neck support, while many stomach-sleepers need less. We’ve tested a wide range of pillows and have recommendations for a variety of types.

Our pick

Riley White Goose Down Comforter

Lighter and loftier than others, this high-quality comforter has a silky-soft sateen shell and goose-down filling, and it feels better to sleep under than much pricier models we tried.

Buying Options

*At the time of publishing, the price was $400.

Runner-up

If you feel cold at night, you might want to invest in a good down (or alt-down) comforter. We’ve researched more than 100 and tested dozens to find ones with the best balance of warmth, lightness, and a great price. If you already have a down comforter but the down has become unevenly distributed, you can get your blanket repaired. Keep in mind, though, that having the repair done can sometimes be more expensive than just buying a new comforter.

Our pick

Brooklinen Classic Duvet Cover

This soft and comfortable percale cover comes in the most stylish and interesting prints we’ve seen. It’s one of the least expensive covers we tried, but feels like nice hotel bedding.

L.L.Bean Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel Comforter Cover

Long-staple cotton flannel makes this soft cover the warmest we’ve tested, and much cozier than similar covers made from percale and linen. It’s also one of the least expensive covers we considered.

Using a duvet will keep your comforter cleaner for longer (since you can just wash the duvet), and it’s also an easy way to change up the look of your bed. We tested duvet covers in a variety of fabrics to find eight styles we love.

How Much Should You Spend On Sheets?

Your bed. It’s where you rest your head at night and rise each morning, ready to face the day. It’s also where you’ll likely spend about a third of your life—and, if one Canadian survey is to be believed, where 14 per cent of us hog the covers each night.

Considering its importance in our lives, spending some money outfitting a twin, queen or king in quality shams, blankets and duvets makes a lot of sense. There’s an economic case to be made for better sleep. Research shows that more than a quarter of Canadians are getting by on less than the recommended seven hours of sleep per night—and that deficit results in 80,000 lost working days per year, costing the economy up to US $21.4 billion in decreased productivity.

Joanna Goodman, owner of Toronto’s Au Lit Fine Linens, who has grown up in the bedding industry, says back when her mom launched the store decades ago, clients would routinely drop serious dough on duvet covers and fancy cushions and then head to cut-rate stores for inexpensive sheets. After all, who was going to see them?

Today, customers are coming around and earmarking more of their cash for the nighttime fabric they actually cozy up right next to, she says. The good news? While it’s never a great idea to buy cheap sheets that are just going to rip, snag or pill after a few uses and washes, as long as you look for some key components when shopping for sheet sets, “whatever your price point is, you’ll be OK,” says Goodman.

Here’s what you’ll want to be on the hunt for:

The key? 100 percent long-staple cotton

While flannel sheets are popular when the cold weather hits, there’s nothing like a set of crisp cotton sheets for all-year comfort, softness and durability. Just make sure you look for these words on the packaging: “100 percent long-staple cotton.” Long-staple (or long-fibre) cotton is softer, more durable and won’t pill, unlike inferior short-staple varieties. Goodman says that Egyptian cotton and the “Pima” variety (from the U.S.) are two of the best in the world and make exceptional sheets, but just be sure you see the 100 percent mark. Without it, a manufacturer could theoretically use only one percent long-staple cotton and hoodwink customers into thinking they’re getting an unbelievable deal on a $50 set.

Casper’s Weightless Cotton set—a 100 percent long-staple cotton sheet set with a hybrid twill weave for extra airy softness—will set you back $120 for a Queen size (or $215 if you opt for the matching duvet cover, too). Or splurge on a $326-$438 starter pack (the price depends on the bed size) from Au Lit, another 100 percent long-staple cotton 220-thread count set that’s said to stay crisp and cool even after multiple washings.

Organic sets are woven from cotton grown with less water and without use of pesticides. Or choose “pure-finish” sheets, another option for those who like the idea of slipping into bed knowing all traces of manufacturing chemicals have been removed. West Elm’s 100 percent organic queen-sized sheet set is $174 and has been pre-washed for a soft and relaxed (read: it can wrinkle) look.

Consider the weave

Most sheet fabric is woven in Europe or Asia. While Italian-woven sheets are often top of the line (and have the price to match), consider sheets woven in Portugal for a good deal on higher-quality coverings.

“They are doing quality on par with Italy at incredible prices,” Goodman explains. “If you have a sheet that is 100 per cent long-staple cotton woven in Portugal, whether it’s $49. 99 or $99.99, you can still feel confident.” For cold winter nights, a queen-sized velvet shaved-flannel set for $237 is woven in Portugal, offers softness and warmth, and resists pilling too.

What thread count really means

If you’re thinking you’ve got to shell out big money for a 1,000-thread count sheet, this will make you happy: thread count doesn’t actually count for much when it comes to choosing a sheet you’ll enjoy. Thread count refers to the number of vertical and horizontal threads per square inch, so the difference between a 200-thread count sheet and a 300 set is simply softness. Crisp sheets have a lower count than buttery ones, but they’re both nice.

As long as it’s above 200, thread count is a matter of personal preference. (Anything below 200 is considered muslin and is scratchy like a burlap sack, says Goodman.)

How many sets of sheets do you really need?

If you rotate at least two pairs of good quality cotton sheets, they’ll likely last you a few years⁠—often longer if you wash them weekly. But that’s only if you treat them right.

Wash in warm water and never, ever throw them in a hot drier for a full cycle. Instead, dry them on the hot setting for 15 minutes so they’re no longer soaking wet and then hang them to dry outside (or over a chair or inexpensive rack). “That is what will guarantee extending their lifespan,” says Goodman. The environment—and your gas or electricity bill—will thank you, too.

When to cheap out

Need to cover a kid’s bed? It’s fine to buy inexpensive bedding from, say, Ikea—especially if there are going to be bed-wetting accidents. The guest room is another place where you can save money. A set of soft, microfibre everyday sheets from Bed, Bath and Beyond is only $44 (with plenty of great user reviews) and will do the trick if it’s only used from time to time.

Do you really need a top sheet?

Here’s one more surefire way to slash money on sheets, particularly if you yearn for quality on a budget: don’t use a top sheet. Goodman says no one in her family does, and she herself can’t stand getting tangled up in it either. In fact, a significant number of her customers buy only fitted sheets. Just be sure to gently wash your duvet cover or blanket each week to erase the “ick” factor.

Which bed linen is better: coarse calico, cotton or satin

Over the years, bedding has evolved from a luxury to a necessity. The modern market is full of offers, and sometimes it is very difficult to make a choice, especially when it comes to such a household item as bed linen. Various prints, fabrics, tailoring, etc. Agree, it is quite difficult to understand such a variety. And if everything is more or less clear with the size, and the color can be chosen according to visual preference, then the fabric and its composition remain a rather difficult issue when choosing a set.

Let's try to figure it out. First of all, it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of fiber and fabric (it is also called canvas). Indeed, on the label, the manufacturer can indicate both the composition of the fabric and the method of weaving the threads in the fabric, and thereby mislead the uninformed buyer.

For example, the name of the fabric satin does not indicate the complete naturalness of the material. A true picture is given only by the composition, expressed as a percentage. The main natural fibers used in the production of bed linen fabrics are: silk, linen and cotton.

Let's dwell on each of them.

Silk . Soft, shiny, cool to the touch, this material has a beneficial effect on the human body. Invariably romantic, it is still quite difficult to care for. Silk underwear should be washed very carefully, and even better, use the services of dry cleaning. There they will clean and iron on special skating rinks without damaging the delicate fabric.

Len. Probably the strongest and most durable material. It can withstand up to 200 washes. Over time, linen becomes softer and more delicate, and the noble gray color brightens and turns into yellowness. Paints on linen do not fade, and will delight you with their diversity for a long time.

Often linen thread is used in mixed fabrics with cotton or viscose.

Cotton. Perhaps the most popular material for bedding. It is not expensive and is quite durable. One of the main properties of cotton is its hygroscopicity. Cotton linen is warm in winter and not hot in summer.

But cotton is different from cotton. Bed linen from expensive high-quality cotton will last a long time, and from cheap - after the first wash it will shrink, and the colors will fade over time.

And now we got to the types of fabric.

Satin.

Dense fabric, made of twisted double-weave cotton or mixed thread. The more twisted the thread, the brighter the sheen of the canvas. The number of weaves of threads per 1 sq. cm in satin is about

about 120 per 1 sq. cm, the thread itself is thinner, due to which the material is softer, more delicate and durable. Its surface is glossy and very reminiscent of silk, but such satin is cheaper than silk. However, it is more expensive than other cotton fabrics. The bed linen from sateen maintains 300-400 washings. This is a record number even compared to wear-resistant flax.

Mako satin is a material made from combed fine-staple cotton. It has great smoothness and shine, little wrinkling and retains shine for a long time.

Percale
Very dense linen fabric, will not miss even the smallest feathers from the pillow. Recommended for down and feather bedding.

Coarse calico
Cotton fabric with a simple weave of cheap cotton threads, has a low density, is not very pleasant to the touch, and does not differ in durability, but it is cheap. Coarse calico is easy to recognize by the noticeable thickening of the threads in the canvas.

Cotton and cambric
Bed linen is also sewn from these traditional fabrics. Chintz is soft, but does not hold its shape well. Batiste is a light elegant fabric made of cotton. Batiste linen does not imply everyday use, since the fabric is designed for only 50-70 washes.

Ranforce
Soft durable and practical cotton fabric, but shrinks after the first wash. Ranfors fabric uses a thin cotton thread, so it turns out to be thinner and more elegant than coarse calico or linen. Weaving in ranforce is not cruciform, as in ordinary cotton fabrics, but diagonal, which makes the fabric dense, and its surface noticeably smoother. The density and smoothness of the ranforce allows you to apply drawings with thinner lines and fine details to the surface of the fabric, which significantly expands the possibilities of designers in developing colors for bed linen.

Jacquard satin
It has a different, more complex weave of threads, due to which it can be multi-colored in structure. Jacquard fabric is durable, wear-resistant, often made of mixed fibers, for example, viscose and cotton, cotton and silk.

Artificial fibers
Artificial fiber is obtained by processing natural wood. Simply put, wood fiber is restructured, making it thin, soft, elastic, without changing its natural properties, such as the ability to pass air and moisture. The most popular fabrics for bed linen are tencel and bamboo.

Tencel
Made from eucalyptus fibre. The structure of the fabric is soft, delicate and velvety, the touch is reminiscent of touching a peach. The fabric is smooth, silky to the touch, looks with a glossy sheen, feels like the structure of very soft genuine leather.

This is a material that has retained all the advantages of natural materials and got rid of many of their inherent disadvantages.

Among other useful properties, it is worth noting good wear resistance, crease resistance, and no shrinkage.

Viscose An artificial fiber made from cellulose, soft, with a beautiful sheen, like silk, but much cheaper. An important advantage of viscose is special dyes, due to which products acquire interesting, piercingly bright colors. In bed linen, viscose fiber is used in blended fabrics.

Bamboo fibre.

Made from bamboo grass and is hypoallergenic, highly hygroscopic, wear-resistant. In terms of softness, bamboo fabric is similar to cotton, but slightly softer.

When choosing underwear, give preference to fabrics without synthetics. It should be noted that fully synthetic bedding is difficult to find. Synthetics do not breathe well, and it is not comfortable to sleep under it. The body quickly becomes wet with sweat, respectively, the blanket is thrown off in a dream. Add a little winter draft, and here is the cause of ARI.

On the other hand, a synthetic thread, such as polyester, can improve the properties of fibers of natural origin. Cotton with non-natural additives does not shrink, and linen is perfectly ironed and does not wrinkle. However, fabrics made of mixed fibers with synthetics should not be used as bed linen due to a partial loss of softness after the first few washes.

FAQ

What is the height of the mattress for the sheet?

Fitted sheet for mattress height up to 30 cm, except size 90x200 - up to 25 cm. The dimensions already take into account a slight shrinkage of the fabric after washing.

What is long staple cotton?

We have selected 100% long staple cotton for our fabric. This is not only the best cotton, but also its careful processing and strict quality control.

Only 1% of all cotton grown in the world belongs to long-staple cotton - the fiber of such cotton is one and a half times longer and twice as strong as ordinary cotton fibers, and this greatly affects the final properties of linen.

Learn more about cotton

Where is the linen produced?

We work directly with the best manufacturers. We place an order for fabric production at the Shanghai factory - one of the largest in Asia, with more than 30 years of experience in the textile industry.

Tailoring and production of bed linen sets takes place at the factory in Cheboksary.

What does the marking (TC) - the number of threads mean?

Every fabric has a number of threads per inch (TC). Many believe that the higher this number, the better. But it is not always the case.

The higher this number, the closer the threads are to each other and the less the fabric passes air, but if the TC is very small, such as 100-200, then this negatively affects the strength and tactile properties of the fabric.

Our fabrics are made in 300TC and 450TC - we have found the perfect balance of 60s and 80s thread size, fabric structure and production processes to make the fabric as comfortable as possible.

What does the thread size mean?

During the production of thread, or rather yarn, the cotton fiber is twisted along its axis. The lower the level of twist, the softer the thread itself and subsequently the fabric. But the shorter the fiber in cotton, the tighter it must be twisted in order for the thread to be strong enough to make cloth.

At the same time, the finer the resulting thread, the smoother and silkier the fabric will be, and the fabric will be more resistant to pilling. But the thinner the thread, the less durable it is. Normally, only thick threads of 30-40S and thicker can be obtained from regular quality cotton (the higher this number, the thinner the thread).

Only a strong and elastic fiber allows, in the production of threads, not to twist them too much and at the same time obtain thin threads.

The 450TC fabric is made from 80S threads, almost the thinnest threads made from cotton.

300TC fabric is made from 60S threads, the same thickness as almost all premium bedding.

The larger the thread size number, the finer the thread itself.

Why do we avoid artificial easing?

You may have noticed how, after a few washes, the linen is no longer surprisingly soft. This is explained very simply: to obtain a "wow effect" manufacturers often use chemical softeners. And if, when choosing cosmetics, we try to avoid preservatives and harsh surfactants, then when buying underwear, we rarely think about it.

The second, not the most gentle, way to achieve softness is washing with stones or enzymes. The essence of the methods is that they damage the structure of cotton, making it more fleecy. But this leads to another problem: such material rolls up and breaks faster.

Together with the factory, we used a new, alternative method - "air washing". This method is usually used in the production of linen fabrics. The fabric is treated for a long time with hot and cold air currents. Thus, the tension during the production of the thread is reduced and the linen is soft, as after a year of washing and use. At the same time, the fibers remain intact, and your body does not suffer from the effects of chemistry.

We make sure that all products are tested to ensure that the fabric is completely safe. The factory has the highest production quality standards: OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, ISO9000 and ISO14000.

How to care for bed linen

Bed linen should be washed at 30-40 C. Washing machine speed 600 rpm. Do not use bleach. Wash colored laundry separately from whites. Iron at a temperature not exceeding 200 C.

It is advisable to turn bed linen inside out before washing. The washing machine drum should be 50% full. This will ensure a more efficient and gentle wash.

Dry bed linen immediately after washing until completely dry. In case of using machine drying, follow the delicate mode. During washing, you can add a fabric conditioner balm so that the laundry is less wrinkled during drying.

We do not use resin treatment in the production process, so all products may have a slight natural shrinkage after washing from 2% to 5%.
