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!
In bedding sheets, high thread count cotton bed sheets are key to achieving a good night’s rest. This is because higher thread counts result in a tighter cotton weave, making the fabric smooth and silky to the touch.

Differences between Bed Linen and Bed Sheets
What is Cotton?
These two varieties of cotton are valued for their long staples, or fibers. Long staples are desirable because they are less likely to pill, hold the structure of the weave better, and overall lead to a softer, more durable sheet. If a fabric is made with short staple cotton, it is common for the staples to start to poke out over time, leading to a decrease in the softness and comfort.
