QUICK ANSWERS
Bed linen FAQs
What is the best material for bed linen?
There is no single best material for everyone. Cotton is versatile, linen is highly breathable and textured, while TENCEL™ is known for a smooth feel and moisture management. The best choice depends on how warm you sleep, the feel you prefer and how much care you want to give your bedding.
Is a higher thread count always better?
No. Fibre quality, yarn construction and weave matter alongside thread count. Extremely high numbers can also be produced using multi-ply yarns, so thread count should be treated as one quality clue rather than the whole story.
How often should bed sheets be changed?
A regular washing routine helps keep bedding fresh, but the right frequency depends on factors such as personal preference, pets, allergies, illness and how warm you sleep. See our dedicated sheet-changing guide for practical recommendations.
What size bedding do I need?
Match sheets and duvet covers to the exact mattress and duvet dimensions rather than relying on the bed name alone. Our UK bed linen size chart brings the key measurements together.
What is the difference between percale and sateen?
Percale typically feels crisper, lighter and more matte, while sateen feels smoother and silkier with a slightly heavier drape. Both are cotton weaves rather than different cotton types.
