How to choose your bed linen?

The material determines the feel, heat regulation and ease of care. 57-thread-count cotton is appreciated for its balance of softness and durability and is suitable for the whole family. Cotton percale (80 thread count) offers a smooth, cool feel, ideal for sleepers seeking lightness without compromising fabric structure. Washed percale, softened after manufacturing, has a fluid drape and a subtly crinkled appearance that eliminates the need for ironing. Linen, naturally thermoregulating and long-lasting, remains breathable in summer and comfortable in winter; hypoallergenic, it is well suited to sensitive skin.

Choose your bed linen material according to your preferred feel, bedroom temperature and desired care routine.

In the height of summer, lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton percale or linen are preferred, as they promote air circulation and moisture wicking. In autumn, denser cotton or washed percale weaves provide a more enveloping feel. In winter, opt for materials that retain warmth while remaining breathable, and adjust your bed linen set to your duvet to maintain a comfortable microclimate. In spring, return to fresh, bright textures that are easy to care for with more frequent washing.

Proper care of your bed linen extends the life of the fibers and preserves colors. Always refer to the care label, then adjust the temperature according to the fabric: cotton and percale can withstand cycles at 60°C, while more delicate materials generally require lower temperatures.

Avoid overdosing detergent, do not overload the drum, and favor air drying for sensitive fibers or a gentle tumble-dry cycle when the material allows it. Regular washing, weekly or every two weeks, ensures freshness and hygiene.

Beyond washing, a few simple habits make all the difference: shake out your bedding each morning to release moisture, air the bedroom, and fold and store your sets in a dry place away from light. Ironing varies depending on the fabric: it may be unnecessary for washed percale and optional for linen if you enjoy its natural texture, while remaining quick and easy for cotton.

Finishing details such as buttons and embroidery also deserve special attention to preserve their appearance over time.

A well-fitted set makes bed-making easier and ensures a neat fit throughout the night. Start with the mattress dimensions for the fitted sheet (remember to consider pocket depth if the mattress is thick or topped with a mattress topper), then choose the flat sheet and duvet cover size according to the desired drape.

For pillowcases, adapt the format to your pillows (square, rectangular, XL) and to your bolster if you use one, to achieve a harmonious and comfortable look. If needed, our customer service team is here to help, and made-to-measure plain cotton bed linen is available from our workshops in Halluin.
