Cotton is probably the most common fabric used to make sheets and bed linen. Cotton is natural, breathable, biodegradable and feels great next to the skin. There are many types of cotton. The two best quality cottons are Egyptian cotton and Supima cotton.

Satin sheets are made out of synthetic fibers and have an alluring feel. Like silk, adding satin sheets is an excellent way to spice up a room with some romance. When looking for these types of sheets, be aware of whether the satin is woven or knit. Woven makes the satin smoother, while knit adds a bit of roughness to it. 

Consider the following differences between the two types of bedding:

 Silk sheets are known for their luxurious feel and smooth texture. Silk sheets are naturally hypoallergenic and can help regulate body temperature, making them a great choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.  When choosing silk sheets, look for ones with a higher millimeter weight, which indicates the quality and durability of the silk.  Mummy weights of 19 or higher are considered ideal for silk sheets.

POLYESTER Polyester sheets are known for their durability and stain resistant qualities. These sheets are made from a synthetic fiber which is commonly found in many bedding products. They are also wrinkle resistant, but are not as soft and breathable as other fabric options. However, Polyester sheets tend to be exceptionally cheaper than traditional cotton sheets, making them a popular choice for many people.

Whilst linen may not initially feel as soft as cotton, it does get softer with each wash. Choose pre-washed - garment washed or stone washed - linen if you want that softer feel straight away.

 Thread count is another important factor to consider when choosing flannel sheets.  While the higher the thread count of regular cotton sheets, the better the quality, with flannel sheets, this is less important.  Instead, focus on the fabric weight and overall feel of your bed sheets to gauge their quality.

 Ultimately, the choice of silk vs. flannel sheets and the specific qualities of king sheets comes down to personal preference and needs.  By considering factors like bed sheet material, thread count, and fit, you can make an informed decision and choose great quality sheets that will provide comfort and satisfaction for years to come.

Cot Bedding is specially designed to fit the dimensions of your crib or crib, providing your child with a comfortable, secure fit.  When choosing Cot Bedding, choose bedding materials that are soft and gentle on your child's skin, such as organic cotton or bamboo.  Also, consider the thickness of Cot Bedding to ensure it provides the right level of warmth without overheating your child.

Caring for your linen bed sheets is also easy. Wash them in cold water with mild detergent and tumble low dry. If you plan on ironing them, a good tip is to take them out of the dryer when they are slightly damp and iron on low heat.
