Bed Linen Fabrics

 Cotton - From the seed pod of the cotton plant, creates a cool, absorbent and versatile fabric.

 Percale Cotton - Usually has a thread count (tc) of 200 or over with a noticeably tighter weave than plain cotton sheets. Percale fabric is firm and smooth with no gloss. It is also easy to care for, requiring little or no ironing. It also dries more quickly than cotton, which is ideal for busy lifestyles.

 Egyptian Cotton - The humid conditions and rich soil along the Nile are perfect for growing long cotton fibres. Their length (about twice the size of other cotton fibres) allows them to be spun into very fine yarns. These yarns are soft and lustrous yet are very strong and durable. Another property of Egyptian cotton that makes it high quality is its absorbancy.

 Sateen - Sateen is a fabric that has a slight sheen and a soft, luxurious feel. Sateen holds dye extremely well and has a lustrous appearance.

 Silk - Naturally hypoallergenic and, being a natural fibre, ideal for keeping warm in the Winter and cool in Summer. Silk is also said to be beneficial for your hair and skin.

 Linen - A natural fibre obtained from the flax plant, linen fibres is stronger and more lustrous than cotton. It's also cool and absorbent.

 Voile - A crisp, lightweight, cotton-like fabric, made with high-twist yarns that have a similar appearance to organza.
