While these sheets may seem ideal, their stiffness is sometimes a downfall. This does lighten up with time and washes, but they never quite reach cotton’s dreamy softness.
How sheets are weaved has a direct influence on how they feel to the touch. Percale is lightweight and tightly woven, resulting in crisp, cool bedding. In contrast, microfiber's super-tight, dense weave makes it wrinkle-resistant, extra-soft, and water-resistant due to its super-tight, dense weave. Other weaves to consider are satin, which is ultra-soft and glossy, and flannel, which has a warm feel ideal for chilly weather.

Bed linen can be made from a variety of materials, including cotton, linen, silk, and synthetic blends. The thread count, which refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric, is a crucial factor in determining the quality and feel of the material. Higher thread counts generally indicate softer, more durable bed linen, with 300-600 thread count being a benchmark for quality.
