Understanding Bed Sheet Materials
Percale
Neat and polished look
Percale sheets have a one-over-one-under weave pattern that creates a light, breathable fabric with a crisp feel. Perfect for warm climates and hot sleepers.
Sateen
Elegant and luxurious
Sateen features a three-over-one-under weave that creates a buttery-smooth, silky feel with a subtle sheen. Offers warmth without being too heavy.
Linen
Relaxed and rustic
Made from flax plant fibers, linen naturally regulates temperature and gets softer with each wash. Offers a casual, homey aesthetic with excellent breathability.
Flannel
Cozy and inviting
Flannel undergoes a "napping" process that creates raised fibers for a soft, fuzzy texture. Excellent at trapping body heat for cold nights and winter months.
Hemp
Natural and eco-friendly
Hemp is an extremely durable natural fiber with temperature-regulating and antibacterial properties. Becomes softer with use while maintaining strength.
Care & Maintenance Tips
Washing
Wash in cold or warm water, avoid hot water which can damage fibers. Use gentle detergent.
Drying
Air-dry when possible. If using a dryer, use low heat to prevent shrinkage and extend sheet life.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Rotate between multiple sets to reduce wear and extend lifespan.
