Bedding comes in all sorts of fabrics, and each type will have an effect on comfort and feel. The most common fabrics are cotton, silk, linen and poly-blend, and the type you choose will largely come down to personal preference.
Cotton bedding is a very popular choice, particularly the highest quality Egyptian cottons which produce some of the softest sheets on the market. Cotton is durable, versatile and breathable, making it ideal for luxury bed linen.
Poly-blend bedding mixes soft cotton fibres with polyester, and is a hugely popular choice for many homeowners due to the fact that it is comfortable and easy to care for.
Linen is renowned for its uncanny ability to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Yes, you’ll have to accept its wrinkly, less-ironed look, but it is luxuriously soft to sleep under and gets softer with each wash.
Lastly we have silk; one of the most expensive fabrics to choose from, but well worth it. Silk is naturally hypo-allergenic and, like linen, has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. The only downside is that it is fairly high-maintenance due to its delicate nature, so it’s not ideal for busy households.
