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.

The 19^th 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.

Pillow shams are decorative coverings for pillows, often designed with trims, ruffles, flanges, or cording. Add a couple of pillow shams to your bed for extra style.

When it comes to choosing the perfect bedsheets for your bed, there are a variety of options to consider, including bamboo, cotton, Tencel, and linen.  Each type of bedsheet has its own unique benefits, but a common concern many people have is choosing bedsheets that won’t pill.  Pilling occurs when small balls of fibers form on the surface of the fabric, resulting in a rough and uncomfortable texture.  To avoid this problem, it is important to consider the material and construction of the bedsheet.

So, now that you know the difference between bed linen and bed sheets, why not treat yourself to some new bedding? Investing in high-quality bedding can make all the difference when it comes to getting a good night's sleep, so go ahead and upgrade your bedding game today!

Cotton thread count - Thread count is the measurement used in cotton materials. It refers to the number of threads woven together per square inch of material. The more threads woven together means a higher thread count. The right thread count can make a difference to the smoothness, quality and feel of your sheets.

Role of Bed Linens: Bed linens serve multiple purposes. They protect the underlying bedding (like duvets or pillows) from wear and tear, add layers for warmth, and offer an opportunity to change the bedroom's look with different colors, patterns, and textures.

While American bed sizes have remained fixed, there are no standard mattress depths. As a general rule, our fitted sheets have a gusset (AKA “pocket size” or “pocket depth”) that will fit mattresses up to 17” deep with enough room to tuck under the mattress. However, most of our purveyors accommodate custom orders for deeper or thinner sizes.

 To complete the look, consider adding a bedskirt to hide the space under your bed for a clean, uncluttered look.  This accessory can also add a decorative touch, especially if it has frills or ruffles.
