About Our Sheets

What makes a good sheet? When it comes to choosing a good sheet, it’s not the thread count that counts. You may be surprised to find that thread count has little to do with quality. So, what should you look for?

Long Staple Cotton Fibre

Long-Staple Fibres

We only use quality long-staple cotton because the longer the fibres or staples, the better the end fabric. Longer fibres can be spun into finer, stronger yarn and woven into fabric which is soft, smooth and durable.

Shorter fibres have many ends sticking out of the fabric, making it feel coarser and prone to pilling. 

Single Ply Yarn

Single Ply Yarn

We only use single-ply yarns for the best weave quality and light, breathable sheets. Lesser quality sheets are often made from cheaper, lower grade cotton, twisted together to increase strength.

Using such multiple-ply yarns allows manufacturers to artificially inflate thread counts and results in thicker, less breathable sheets.

Unless very expensive, a high thread count sheet can actually indicate lesser quality cotton.

The good Sheet Fabric Finishing

Finishing

Proper fabric finishing techniques are absolutely key to creating quality textiles and it's what gives a fabric its unique properties and feel.

Our sheets are finished by a manufacturing team with decades of experience, using the world’s top quality finishing machines to create sheets with superior strength, smoothness and lustre.

Heavyweight Percale Weave

Weave

Weave affects feel far more than thread count.

Percale is a classic one-over, one-under weave.

This simple structure creates a crisp, breathable fabric with a matte finish - cool to the touch and structured rather than drapey.

By contrast, sateen uses a different weave structure that produces a softer, smoother fabric with a subtle sheen and a warmer feel.

Neither is “better” - they are simply built differently. We choose percale for its crisp feel, breathability and durability.
