Do remember that sateen is not as robust as other cotton options, like percale, but is a beautifully soft choice.

Along with your duvet, pillow and mattress, the bed linen that you choose will have a big impact on how your bed feels and how you sleep. As your sheets, duvet cover and pillowcase are against your skin every night, it’s important to think about what kind of bed linen will give you the best night's sleep. There are, after all, many bed linen types.

Color and Pattern

To help you decide which fabric is better for your home, we put together a handy guide that describes the similarities and differences of cotton vs linen sheets and the types of bedding manufactured from both.

Brushed Cotton

Percale is the style or design of weaving that makes the material strong, whereas cotton is the material itself.

From jersey and flannel to cotton and linen, see our guide to the bed sheet type that's best for you below.

The best quality duvet covers are frequently made from advanced fabrics such as poly-fiber, which is composed of extremely fine, synthetic fibers and often used to produce high-tech exercise clothing. Because of the short strands, this material is excellent for night sweats because it allows moisture to escape rather than be absorbed by the body. The poly-fiber that is used in duvet covers is often brushed to give it a softer texture. Home City Inc.’s duvet covers have been finished with a brushed finish, which results in an ultra-soft 1500 threads per square inch. They are also more robust and stain and fade resistant than cotton, making them an excellent choice for daily use. Furthermore, because they are made of inorganic materials, duvet covers are hypoallergenic and can help to reduce the frequency of allergy attacks.
