'Satin is great for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers however it is harder to clean and more expensive than most sheets,' says Bed Bath & Beyond.
With a lower quality than both Pima and Egyptian, this short-staple cotton is the most common variety you’ll find. Labels that read “100% cotton” are typically Upland, and while still fairly durable, aren’t nearly as soft as other types.
Tencel™ is a branded material for Lyocell, a product of wood pulp found in certain trees — particularly fast-growing eucalyptus. This environmentally friendly material is wrinkle-resistant and is produced using a closed-loop process, so any waste created while making the material is recycled and reused.
Soft, smooth, and hypoallergenic, Tencel™ is a great choice for eco-conscious consumers. However, keep in mind that it’s not quite as breathable as cotton or linen.
When choosing bedsheets, it is important to consider factors such as material, weave, thread count, and care instructions. If softness and warmth are your priority, flannel sheets may be your best choice. For a silky, luxurious feel, satin or satin sheets may be the perfect choice. If breathability and durability are your top priorities, cotton sheets may best suit your needs.
Lulu & Georgia's Aja Tilghman says: 'Bedsheet material choice really depends on preference. Linen is a great light and airy option that is exceptionally versatile and adapts to all seasons - keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It gets softer over time while maintaining its beautiful natural elegance.

Blanket
A blanket is a generic term that refers to almost any bed covering thicker than a sheet, including quilts, duvets, and comforters. It can also refer to a more utilitarian woven covering that is sandwiched between a flat sheet and another layer primarily for warmth. A blanket drapes over the sides of the bed. Our Chatham blanket is a versatile favorite.
In addition to color and material, the size and fit of your bed sheets are also important factors to consider. Good bedsheet manufacturers will offer a variety of sizes to accommodate different bed sheet sizes, ensuring a comfortable, secure fit.
