There are a lot of sheets out there. Which ones are right for you really depends on\u2026well, you.

When searching for new sheets, you may see certain terms referenced.<\/p>\n

Staple length<\/b> refers to how long the fibers were when the cotton was woven. The higher the staple length, the better the quality.<\/i><\/p>\n

Thread count<\/b> is the number of threads woven into an inch of fabric\u2014or how tightly woven the fabric is. This can affect a variety of things such as softness and durability. If you\u2019re not sure which thread count, you\u2019re looking for, don\u2019t worry. Schweitzer Linen has a huge variety of bedding with every kind of thread count you can imagine.<\/p>\n

Weave<\/b> is the style of how the fabric was woven. Here the focus isn\u2019t so much on the kind of fabric being used but how it\u2019s being constructed. Different weaves can impact bedding in many ways such as appearance, texture, and other key benefits like breathability.<\/p>\n

LINEN SHEETS<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s incredibly long lasting and gets better with age, so you\u2019ll get many years of enjoyment out of it. Its elegant looks and various styles give any bedroom an instant upgrade.

Sateen<\/h3>\n

Some of the smoothest sheets around, sateen uses a different type of weave to give it a silkier softness than other sheets, and a slight sheen. You could say it\u2019s shinier and smoother. It\u2019s also slightly heavier than percale, adding to its strong durability. Plus, it also resists wrinkles, so less worry for you.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Egyptian Cotton\/Egyptian Cotton Sateen<\/h3>\n

Made with extra-long staple fibers, Egyptian cotton sheets are some of the most popular due to their high-quality, durability and luxuriously soft feel. It\u2019s a classic option that rarely disappoints. It\u2019s also best to get it from a trusted course like Schweitzer Linen to ensure its authentic Egyptian cotton. Egyptian Cotton Sateen is another variation of this style where you can get the same long-lasting comfort with a crisper appearance and a little more shine.<\/p>\n

Percale<\/h3>\n

Different weaves affect the quality and feel of your sheets, and one of those is known as percale, or \u201cplain weave\u201d. For percale, the cotton is combed over and woven tightly, so you\u2019ll experience a much smoother sheet. Also, the cotton is super light and breathable making these a great choice for those who tend to sleep hot.<\/p>\n

Polycotton<\/h3>\n

Made with a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, polycotton sheets tend to be stronger than some cotton and a little less expensive. There is plenty of softness to go around, and a crisper texture to the fabric, so it tends to hold its shape longer for an attractive appearance that\u2019s easy to maintain. On the other hand, it\u2019s not as breathable or soft as natural cotton fibers.<\/p>\n

Damask<\/h3>\n

Looks don\u2019t mean everything, but in the case of damask, they mean a whole lot. Gorgeous, eye-catching patterns are woven into the fabric instead of being printed on it for an awe-inspiring appearance. It\u2019s not only one of the most decorative ways to add elegance to your decor, but also highly durable too.<\/p>\n

Pique<\/h3>\n

Pique sheets feature a subtle pattern and slight texture woven in\u2014which you\u2019ll usually only notice when seeing up close. This waffle-like style adds a unique dimension and style to your bedding while also circulating air and wicking moisture to make it ultra-breathable.<\/p>\n
