Collection: Bedding & Bath

An average person spends about 26 years, or one-third of his or her life, sleeping. That’s a lot of time in one place, reliant on the comfort of the fabrics and textiles that make up our bedding arrangement. Selecting just the right soft towels and inviting bedding can have a profound impact on our rest, our mood, and ultimately, our quality of life.

When selecting sheets for your own bed, it’s important to know the basics about the materials that will have a direct effect on your comfort as you rest. You’ll probably want the color and pattern to match your bedspread or the aesthetic of your bedroom. But more importantly still, you’ll want to understand how sheet fabric works and what the buzzwords indicate.

The weave, or the way the fabric is woven, has an effect on the feel of the material and is a matter of personal preference. Some people opt for a flat, plain weave, while others might prefer a silkier feel.

Fabric finish refers to the finishing process applied to the fabric after it has been woven and affects how the fabric feels initially as well as throughout its lifespan.

Breathability indicates the extent to which the fabric allows air to pass through the fibers, leading to a cooling effect that will save you from overheating while you sleep. Being too warm can interfere with both REM sleep and slow-wave sleep, so it’s important to choose the right level of breathability for your bedsheets.
