Bed linen can be made from a variety of materials, including cotton, linen, silk, and synthetic blends. The thread count, which refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric, is a crucial factor in determining the quality and feel of the material.

Choose 200 thread count and above - anything less will wear badly, rip and develop holes! Be wary of really high thread counts over 800 which can produce very stiff sheets and duvet covers that are not very comfortable to sleep on and are really hard to iron! We picked 600 thread count for our Egyptian cotton bed linen.
