Proper care and maintenance of your bed sheet and bed linens are essential for their longevity and your comfort.
Silk sheets are known for their luxurious feel and smooth texture. Silk sheets are naturally hypoallergenic and can help regulate body temperature, making them a great choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. When choosing silk sheets, look for ones with a higher millimeter weight, which indicates the quality and durability of the silk. Mummy weights of 19 or higher are considered ideal for silk sheets.
Linen bed sheets are less explored, which explains why there are fewer types of linen bedding on the market. The highest quality linen lies along the world-renowned Western Europe flax belt - crossing through Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. The climate along this belt is optimal for growing and harvesting flax, bringing about the Belgium and French Linen we hear of today.
In addition to size, high quality towels is also crucial. Look for towels made from high-quality absorbent materials like Egyptian cotton towels or Turkish cotton towels.
As a natural fiber like cotton, linen offers excellent breathability. However, linen is evenmorebreathable than cotton, because the fibers themselves are more hollow, meaning air can flow through more easily. Plus, it usually helps that most linen fabrics have a lower thread count — and thus looser weave — than most cotton fabrics.
Thread count is another important factor, but not in the way it is popularly conceived. The common knowledge about thread count is that higher is always better, but that’s not always true. In fact, brands selling sheets with astronomically high thread counts in the thousands are usually fudging the numbers with double-ply threads or other sly methods.
