Bedding Materials

Here's a handy glossary of terms to guide you when selecting your bedding products:

Combed Cotton: Cotton fibers are obtained from the seed of a cotton plant. Combing separates the long, desirable fibers from the short, immature fibers to create a stronger, smoother yarn.

Egyptian Cotton: Cotton grown exclusively in Egypt and the longest fiber staple in the world. This means less linting, more durability, more luster and a softer feel.

Flannel: 100% cotton fabric brushed on both sides for softness and warmth.

Knit: A very soft, relaxed cotton fabric that feels like a t-shirt. Not as warm as flannel, but Jersey knits will keep you cozy in the wintertime.

Percale: Cotton or blend sheeting of 180 threads per square inch or higher.

Sateen: Woven fabric with a smooth surface and lustrous sheen that resembles satin. These super-smooth sheets frequently have thread counts of 220 and above.

Silk: The softest and most luxurious of all bed linens, silk is surprisingly also the strongest. It's also lightweight and keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
