To help you decide which fabric is better for your home, we put together a handy guide that describes the similarities and differences of cotton vs linen sheets and the types of bedding manufactured from both.

For more affordable options, expensive cotton fabrics are often blended with lower-quality variants to manage costs. Check the label for the cotton composition before purchasing to ensure you know exactly what you’re getting.

The plain or twill weave of flannel sheets also makes them soft and pliant — all the more reason to use them in colder weather.  

The best quality duvet covers are frequently made from advanced fabrics such as poly-fiber, which is composed of extremely fine, synthetic fibers and often used to produce high-tech exercise clothing. Because of the short strands, this material is excellent for night sweats because it allows moisture to escape rather than be absorbed by the body. The poly-fiber that is used in duvet covers is often brushed to give it a softer texture. Home City Inc.’s duvet covers have been finished with a brushed finish, which results in an ultra-soft 1500 threads per square inch. They are also more robust and stain and fade resistant than cotton, making them an excellent choice for daily use. Furthermore, because they are made of inorganic materials, duvet covers are hypoallergenic and can help to reduce the frequency of allergy attacks.

 When choosing  high-quality bedding, it's important to consider your individual or family's specific needs and preferences.  Factors such as allergies, temperature regulation and personal comfort preferences should all be taken into consideration.  For example, someone with allergies may benefit from hypoallergenic  high-quality bedding, while someone who tends to sleep hot may prefer breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics.

From a practical standpoint folding and ironing flat sheets is fairly easy, however, fitted sheets are more difficult to fold neatly and iron because of the elasticated corners. Opt for modern lightweight polyester/cotton fabrics and your bed linen probably won't need ironing anyway!

If you perceive bed sheets as an investment and are willing to shell out more for longer-lasting sheets, then linen may be a better fit.

Thread counts for bedding typically range from 200 to 800, though 1,000 and higher thread counts do exist. Thread count is not however, the most important indicator of quality bedding, more important is the quality of the cotton threads that the bedding is weaved from. You can have high thread count sheets made from poor quality cotton.

It was during the Renaissance Period when bedding as we know it today was designed. Whilst the poor continued to sleep on hay-covered platforms, the wealthy owned mattresses stuffed with down and wrapped in luxurious materials. Their four-poster beds were covered in embroidered canopies and contained pull-out trundles for maids and personal valets to sleep on. Mattresses were suspended from the bedframes using ropes or straps. They were covered by smart linen sheets and wool blankets. The beds grew more and more lavish for the most wealthy. They became so expensive they were passed down through the family for generations. Reported to spend most of his day in bed, Louis XIV became so obsessed with bedding that he bought 413 beds for the Palace of Versailles. It is understood that he held court daily from his bed.

 Waffle towels, also called honeycomb towels, feature a textured waffle weave pattern. Waffle towel design not only adds style to the towel but also enhances its absorbency, making it a popular choice for those who value functionality and aesthetics.  The unique texture of the waffle towel also gently exfoliates the skin, making it perfect for use in a spa setting.
