Fitted sheets, flat sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases. Percale if you sleep hot, sateen if you sleep cold, washed cotton if you never iron, linen if you want it to outlast the mattress. Every page says which, and why not.
A bed has two layers that matter at 2 a.m.: the sheet under you and the case under your face. We make those, and the cover that goes over the top, in four cloths that behave differently enough to be worth choosing between. Nothing else.
Five kinds of piece. Pick the cloth once and buy the layers to match.
Elastic all the way round, a stated wall depth, and the fabric named. Five mattress widths.
5 pieces
Top sheets with a wide turned hem. Sized to tuck, not to hang level with the mattress edge.
4 pieces
Button or envelope closure, inside corner ties, and a stated weave so you know how it will feel in August.
8 pieces
Sold in pairs, in three continental sizes. Housewife, envelope or flanged oxford.
6 pieces
The cover with its pillowcases, or the whole bed, cut from one dye lot so the shades match.
5 piecesThe same cotton can be woven two ways and feel like two fabrics. Here is the short version; the guide has the long one.
One over, one under. Matte, cool, crisp like a pressed shirt. For hot sleepers and summer.
Drawback: creases the moment you lie on it.
Four over, one under. Smooth, a low sheen, drapes and holds a little warmth. For cold sleepers and winter.
Drawback: snags on rings and rough heels; pills sooner.
Percale put through an enzyme wash after sewing. Soft on night one, never needs ironing, envelope closures.
Drawback: garment-dyed shades fade a tone a year.
Flax, stone-washed twice. Wicks better than any cotton, lasts longer, gets softer for years.
Drawback: scratchy for the first three or four washes; creases always.
A pair of pillowcases, then the cover, then the fitted sheet. Rarely the other way round.
35 cm · 38 cm · 42 cm
Thread count sells sheets. Wall depth decides whether the corner pings off at 4 a.m.
Every fitted sheet here states its wall: 35 cm on the cotton sheets, 38 cm on the linen, 42 cm on the deep percale. The elastic runs round the entire hem rather than being tacked into the corners, so the sheet grips the mattress on all four sides. Measure your mattress with the topper on, and buy the wall that is at least 5 cm deeper.
The flat sheets are cut 60 cm wider and 40 cm longer than the named mattress size, because a top sheet that cannot tuck is a very large napkin.
Percale creases. Sateen snags. Washed cotton fades. Linen is scratchy for three or four washes and creases for good. Cotton shrinks 2 to 3% in its first hot wash, which is why we cut over. Dark shades show lint. None of this is a fault, and all of it is on the product page before the add-to-basket button.
A deeper wall, a woven stripe, a sheet set. The range changes when a question keeps coming in, not when a season does.
Sleep on it, wash it, and if it is not right send it back within 30 nights for a refund. Washed sheets are laundered and donated, not resold.
A seam that opens or an elastic that gives inside the first 300 washes is repaired or the piece replaced, postage paid both ways.
Both cottons and the linen are woven and finished at mills inside the European Union, and sewn there too. We say so because most sheets are not.
No woven labels on the outside, no monograms, no embroidered names. The only mark is a small care label at the foot end so you know which way round the sheet goes.
Reduced against the price they were listed at for the previous year. Same cloth, same construction; only the colour is leaving.
“I ordered the percale pillowcases expecting to hate the creasing, because the page told me I might. I did not. The fitted sheet with the 42 cm wall is the first one that has stayed on our topper for a whole week.”
