How to layer bedding

We know that this must have happened to you before: you find two products that look virtually identical but have very different prices. Why is that? With bed linen (for example, sheets), the price difference may be down to the thread count. Thread count is one of the most reliable indicators of fabric quality. As the word suggests, it indicates the number of threads per square inch. The higher the number of threads, the greater the density and strength of the fabric and, therefore, the higher the quality. To give you a rough idea, the average number of threads in a standard sheet is about 120 per square inch. We recommend opting for a thread count of at least 200, which is when the quality starts to get really good. So now you know: if in doubt, always check the thread count.

In winter, thicker bedspreads are key for a good night's sleep. Layering a throw or blanket on top of your bedspreads with contrasting colours, textures, and materials creates a visually appealing bed and a cosy one too! In summer, pack away the duvet into your under-bed storage or opt for lighter materials to not weigh you down in your sleep.
