Which fabric should you choose for a fitted sheet?
When purchasing a new fitted sheet, the choice of fabric is a key criterion. From one textile to another, there are significant differences in terms of durability, breathability and longevity. Synthetic fibres, for example, tend to restrict airflow and wear out more quickly.
At Sylvie Thiriez, our designers work exclusively with high-quality natural materials such as cotton, linen, cotton percale and washed percale.
To help you make the right choice during your next shopping session, we invite you to explore the benefits of each of the different textiles available in our stores and on our online boutique.
Why choose a cotton fitted sheet?
A 57-thread-count cotton fitted sheet offers many advantages: it is soft, durable and breathable, all at a very reasonable price. In its 100% cotton version, it is ideal for a child’s bedroom. Easy to care for, it is perfectly suited to everyday use. You can machine-wash your cotton fitted sheet at 60°C and tumble-dry it at a moderate temperature without worrying about damaging it.
For even greater softness, you can opt for a washed cotton model. Looking to add a personal touch to your fitted sheet? Solid-colour cotton designs from Sylvie Thiriez can be personalised as you wish thanks to our made-to-measure embroidery service.

Why choose a linen fitted sheet?
If you are looking for softness and lightness, consider a stonewashed linen (or washed linen) fitted sheet. These models are particularly appreciated during warm summer nights. Another advantage: producing this durable textile requires very little water and few pesticides, making it an eco-friendly choice. Linen is also known for its hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin and allergy-prone individuals.
In addition, Sylvie Thiriez linen bed linen is available in a wide range of natural shades, allowing you to create a cosy and warm atmosphere in your bedroom.
Why choose a washed percale fitted sheet?
Washed 71-thread-count percale is a premium alternative for your bed linen. It is characterised by exceptional softness and a naturally crinkled look that is both elegant and modern. Thanks to its tight weave and lightweight texture, a washed percale fitted sheet promotes air circulation and helps prevent overheating during the night. It is particularly well suited to spring and summer use, but is equally suitable for autumn and winter.
The added bonus: washed percale does not require ironing.
Why choose a percale fitted sheet?
80-thread-count cotton percale fitted sheets are appreciated for their smooth appearance and crisp texture, which provide a refreshing feel against the skin. They offer a refined finish, ideal for adding an elegant touch to a master bedroom or guest room. Like linen models, they are hypoallergenic, making them a wise choice especially in spring, a season when dust mites are particularly prevalent.
Solid-colour percale bed linen is also eligible for the Sylvie Thiriez personalised embroidery service: first name, initials, anniversary date — it’s entirely up to you what you choose to have embroidered on your fitted sheet. You are now fully equipped to choose the fitted sheet fabric that best suits your needs and preferences!
Before placing your order, we recommend carefully checking the dimensions of your mattress to select the appropriate fitted sheet size. In terms of style, you’ll be spoilt for choice among our various adult and children’s collections, featuring vibrant or pastel tones as well as a wide range of prints.
