- Microfiber sheets have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their softness, durability, and hypoallergenic properties. However, there is one question that often comes to mind when considering purchasing microfiber sheets – are they hot?

'Linen is exceptionally breathable and is a go-to for the summer months,' says Aja Tilghman, of Lulu & Georgia. 'It has an airy, breezy quality that will keep you cool and its natural fibers provide an effortlessly elegant look. Cotton percale is also a good option for hot weather as it is inherently cooler in nature and provides a lighter, crispier feel.'
The 19th century saw the invention of the cotton gin. This machine quickly and easily separates cotton fibres from their seeds which revolutionised cotton production. Thus, the cotton sheet was born. This was the start of a new industry. It became much easier to produce cotton than flax and that in turn made it a cheaper product. Ultimately cotton became the popular choice for bedding, though the name bed linen stuck.
Both flat and fitted sheets can come in a variety of sizes, fabrics colours and styles to suit all tastes and bedroom decorating schemes. From single beds to super king size there are bed linens designed to fit each correctly to make your life and bed making easier.


Also known as a Dust Ruffle, a bed skirt may be used to hide the sides, under storage, and foot of the box spring or bed rails. Skirts can be tailored with simple pleats, or ruffled with undulating gathers.
It's recently been enjoying an upsurge in popularity, and keeps you so toasty you can turn the thermostat down at night.


It is also said that silk has beauty benefits. The naturally occurring proteins and oils in silk help care for your skin. Silk tends to draw less moisture away from your skin, while the smoothness of the fabric means that there is very little friction to pull at the skin and hair while you sleep. Which should lead to a smoother complexion and less tangled hair!
Not to be confused with a pillowcase, a pillow sham is generally known and used for more decorative purposes, and is typically not meant to be a sleeping surface. A sham can have a knife-edge finish or flanges on all four sides. Generally speaking, a sham has an opening in the back to insert the pillow.
Imagine your favorite stretchy t-shirt as a sheet and you’ll be picturing jersey sheets perfectly. This type of cotton comes soft and ready to be used. While these sheets are easy to clean, they pill with age and aren’t very lavish, and due to their pliable nature, they tend to easily stretch out with time and are less durable than other cotton sheets.
Flannel is generally made with either a twill or percale weave. The fabric is then napped to hide the weave. Napping is a finishing technique that gives flannel that signature fluffy, fuzzy feel. Flannel can be napped on just one side, or it can be double-napped, meaning both sides of the fabric are napped, for extra softness. Flannel is also often sheared after napping for a smoother texture.
