1. Thread Count

  • Many people are deceived into thinking that a higher thread count always means better bed linen.
  • This is not always true, as different types of linen require different thread counts to achieve the desired quality.
  • Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric.
  • As a general rule, a higher thread count results in a smoother fabric.
  • However, extremely high thread counts (like 800–1000+) can be misleading and may use multi-ply, lower-quality threads.
  • Fabric type and weave (like percale or sateen) often have a greater impact on feel and comfort than thread count alone.

2. Weight

  • GSM refers to the weight and density of the fabric.

  • It is also an important indicator of fabric quality and durability.

  • The thickness of the thread is independent of the thread count.

  • Thinner threads weigh less, while thicker threads are heavier.

  • A very high thread count may use thinner threads, which can result in less durable fabric over time.

  • Higher GSM fabrics generally feel more substantial and luxurious.

  • Lower GSM fabrics may feel lighter and cooler but could wear out faster with regular use.

3. Fabric Composition

Fabric composition affects the feel, durability, weight, and luxury of bed linen.

Pure Cotton
100% cotton is breathable, cool, and very comfortable.
Sateen weave with long-staple cotton creates a soft, strong, and long-lasting fabric.

Cotton Rich
A polycotton blend combining durable polyester with soft cotton.
Offers good comfort at a competitive price.

Options:
Lucia: 70% cotton / 30% polyester
Isabella: 80% cotton / 20% polyester

4. Weave

Fabric Weaves – Quick Guide

  • Plain Weave
    A basic over-under crisscross pattern. It’s lightweight, soft, and breathable—perfect for everyday comfort.

  • Percale
    A tighter weave than plain weave, offering a smooth, crisp feel. Usually made with high-quality combed cotton and 180+ thread count.

  • Sateen
    Woven differently for a silky, lustrous finish. It has a higher thread count and feels soft, smooth, and luxurious—great for a hotel-like sleep.

  • Dobby
    A decorative weave featuring small, repeated geometric patterns. Common in stripe, microstripe, and check designs for a refined look.

5. Sizing​

  • Fabric Composition Matters

    • Affects handle (feel), durability, and weight

    • Impacts how luxurious the linen feels to guests

  • Bed Sizes: Standard vs Non-Standard

    • Most UK linen is made for standard UK bed sizes

    • Many hotels, especially chains, use non-standard bed and mattress sizes

    • Always check bed dimensions (width & length) before purchasing linen

    • Pro tip: Go up a size for a fuller, more luxurious bed appearance
