A sounder night’s sleep starts with Egyptian cotton percale – the first choice for some of the world’s most luxurious bedlinen.
So natural and breathable, pure cotton helps regulate body temperature during your sleep cycle, keeping you cool and comfortable all through the night.
What are the Best Luxury Bed Sheets?
When looking for the best luxury bed sheets, it can depend on your own preference for material. You might prefer silk bedding, or in winter, you might prefer cosy flannelette sheets. But one of the most luxurious bed sheet materials is high thread count Egyptian Cotton. Bed sheets with a thread count of 200 and upwards should be your aim when choosing your bed linen.
Why is Luxury Egyptian Cotton Bed Linen the Best?
Woven from the finest combed cotton from the Nile Delta region, Egyptian cotton fibres have a long staple length of 5cm, which gives Egyptian cotton bed linen its distinct feel. Combing removes the shorter, coarser fibres to improve smoothness and strength and this premium cotton spins into finer, softer, more durable threads. Luxury Egyptian cotton bed sheets also boast better breathability than other materials and lesser grade cotton. This means it will help to regulate your temperature as you sleep and prevent you from overheating
The Importance of Thread Count
Thread count is the number of threads in a square inch of woven fabric. The higher the thread count, the tighter and denser the weave, and the softer and silkier the feel.
What is the Best Thread Count in Bed Sheets?
In most cases, the higher a thread count is, the more luxurious the bed linen becomes. But it’s not always the case that a higher thread count means better sheets. In some instances, thread count can be artificially increased without genuinely improving the quality of the bed linen. But with Scotts of Stow’s Luxury Legends range of bedding, you can rest assured that you’ll always get the finest quality bed linen and our high thread count bed sheets are designed for an indulgent night’s sleep.
When you’re looking for luxurious sheets and bedding, a thread count of 200 should be your starting point. The higher you go from here, the more luxurious your bed linen will be
