Bed Sheets

More about Bed Sheets

When you consider the fact that we spend a third of our lives in bed, suddenly the desire for some quality linens becomes less of a luxury and more of an absolute necessity—and we couldn’t agree more. Beautiful, breathable bedding is a must-have for anyone who values getting their rest and performing their best each day, so let’s look at investing in sheets that will make the most of both your lives—asleep and awake.

Before you get overwhelmed with picking out colour and print options, it’s key to cover the basics, such as thread count. In theory, the higher the thread count, the tighter the weave, resulting in a more durable and longer-lasting product that will handle numerous cycles in the wash. It also often dictates how smooth the texture is, so if you want to slip into soft sheets that will cuddle you to sleep—and who doesn’t—it’s best to splurge on a higher thread count.

Material also makes a big impact when it comes to touch-ability, and ranging from cotton to sateen and oxford, there’s a variety of options to suit a wide range of needs. If you’re looking for bedding which is cool, crisp and taut, we highly recommend a cotton percale, especially in neutral tones like white, grey, or navy since this sheet is so soothing, you don't want any distractions. A satin weave on the other hand will give your bedding a bit of shine and look particularly luxurious in deep, rich colours such as jewel tones. There’s also nothing wrong with sticking to the basics and wrapping yourself in a soft jersey during colder months since this material tends to be a little heavier and often comes in a large range of colours to express your style.

When picking out your favourite bedding, try complimenting them with matching cushions in similar tones, and even some patterns to add some visual texture. No matter which way you lean, you’ll be waking up on the right side of the bed with this textile upgrade—a dream come true for all sleep enthusiasts.
