 For those who are looking for a twin-sized microfiber sheet set, it is important to consider the thread count.  Yarn count refers to the number of yarns woven into one square inch of fabric.  Traditional cotton sheets are often judged by their thread count, while microfiber sheets are measured by the weight of the fabric.  The  Microfiber sheets heavier the weight, the denser and more durable the board.

For queen size sheets, expect to pay anywhere between $50 and $300, depending on the style of sheets. In general, materials like linen and silk will be the most expensive. Cotton, bamboo, Tencel, or other similar materials can vary — some are quite expensive, while others are more affordable. Polyester and other synthetic fabrics will generally be the least expensive.

 Satin towels, on the other hand, are synonymous with luxury and elegance. The satin-smooth, silky texture is not only gentle on the skin but also helps reduce frizz and damage. These high quality towels are a favorite among those who want to add a luxurious touch to their bathing routine. Satin towels are also gentle on the skin, making them a good choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

And speaking of looks, linen sheets have increased in popularity in recent years because they are inherently more boho chic than cotton. Stylists and the Instagram-obsessed love them for their deep texture and camera-friendly looks. They ooze that effortless je ne sais quoi that people associate with French style — unpretentious but impossibly chic. 

 Ultimately, the choice of silk vs. flannel sheets and the specific qualities of king sheets comes down to personal preference and needs.  By considering factors like bed sheet material, thread count, and fit, you can make an informed decision and choose great quality sheets that will provide comfort and satisfaction for years to come.

Bedding Designs

While American bed sizes have remained fixed, there are no standard mattress depths. As a general rule, our fitted sheets have a gusset (AKA “pocket size” or “pocket depth”) that will fit mattresses up to 17” deep with enough room to tuck under the mattress. However, most of our purveyors accommodate custom orders for deeper or thinner sizes.

In the 18^th century, although usually made from wood, bedframes also started to be constructed using metal. Mattresses were stuffed with cotton and maids and personal valets no longer slept on trundles on the floor. The bed was not used for receiving visitors, but rather as a private space. In the 19^th century, the four-poster beds were less lavish, and metal bedsprings were invented. It was during the 20^th century when the water bed was created, as well as the air, innerspring, and memory foam mattresses, and now in the 20^th century, we are spoilt for choice!
