FAQs
What is the most long-lasting bedding material?
When it comes to long-lasting bedding, the secret lies in both the fabric and proper care. High-quality, natural materials — especially 100% cotton — tend to stand the test of time. Australian designer Greg Natale advises choosing cotton for its washability, breathability, and durability, particularly if you opt for high-quality, long-staple varieties like pima or supima cotton. This is key, as not all cotton is created equal; longer fibers make for smoother, stronger, and more pill-resistant sheets.
Interior designer Amy Carman also recommends choosing durable cotton options, like percale or washed, textured cotton, for their robust yet soft feel. Linen, another excellent option, is low-maintenance, softening with each wash and forgiving of wrinkles — ideal for busy lifestyles.
A final, often overlooked tip is to follow the care instructions for your bedding. Washing with too much heat, moisture, or detergent can weaken fibers over time, so following the recommended settings helps preserve fabric quality. Steer clear of bedding made from shorter-fiber materials like lower-quality cotton or polyester, which may seem economical but are prone to pilling and wear more quickly. Long-staple cottons and linens, by contrast, ensure both luxury and longevity.
What does thread count mean?
The thread count refers to the number of threads per square inch in the fabric. The higher the thread count, the softer your bedding will feel and the longer it will last. The golden number is 300 and while 400-500 thread counts will deliver a superior experience, the law of diminishing returns comes into play with anything above 600.
What does staple length mean?
Staple length is another commonly mentioned term that essentially refers to the length of the cotton fibers in the bedding. The longer the fibers, the finer the bedding will feel. Egyptian, Pima, and Supima bedding all feature long staple-length cotton making them the crème-de la crème of the cotton bedding world.
What's the best bedding set material?
While cotton is breathable and provides great comfort, Linen is considered incredibly long-lasting, cooling, and softens with washing. Silk is seen as the pièce de résistance with its lustrous fibers and impressive sheen, it's also a great solution for those with allergies due to its hypo-allergenic nature. Polyester and cotton mixes are great for an affordable and comfortable option.
What's the best weave for bedding sets?
The weave is another aspect of your bedding to consider — Percale weaves refer to the plain weaves that are most commonly seen in bedding; cotton, silk, polyester, or rayon are woven in a crisscross manner. As the warp and weft are interwoven, a breathable and lightweight bedding is formed. The alternative is a jacquard or damask weave where the same fibers are woven in a series of intricate patterns giving the bedding an embroidered and decadent appearance.
