scooms linen has been garment washed in small batches to relax the fibres, resulting in linen that is soft, supple and luxuriously light. Amazingly comfortable from night one!
Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people use these terms interchangeably, but the truth is that they refer to two different types of bedding that serve different purposes.
However, there are lower quality cottons used in sheet making as well. Upland cotton is one of the most common. Because of its lower quality, it is often cheaper than Egyptian or Pima/Supima cotton. Additionally, organic cotton of any variety is generally more expensive than non-organic cottons.
Thread count is the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the more durable the fabric will be. In most cases, a higher thread count also means a softer fabric. However, the type of fiber and weave can also affect the quality of the sheets and should be considered when researching your options. When looking at the thread count, try to find sheets that are between 200-800.
Ultimately, the choice of silk vs. flannel sheets and the specific qualities of king sheets comes down to personal preference and needs. By considering factors like bed sheet material, thread count, and fit, you can make an informed decision and choose great quality sheets that will provide comfort and satisfaction for years to come.
And finally, brushed cotton is for those looking for something in the middle in terms of cooling/heat-retaining qualities. To turn cotton into brushed cotton, the fabric undergoes a couple of extra treatments that result in the softest flannel-like bedlinen. While both percale and sateen sheets may take a few washes to become more supple and soft, a new set of brushed cotton bedding feels like you’ve slept in it forever. It is a great year-round option because it won’t warm or cool you down excessively.

A fitted sheet has pocket corners and elastic on all four sides to provide a snug fit to your mattress. These sheets are designed to keep from bunching and shifting while you sleep.
First of all, because linen’s flax fibers are slightly longer than those of cotton and wrapped a little tighter, linen sheets are stronger which means they will last much longer. If softness is a factor for you, you may want to consider cotton, though. Flax fibers are much rougher than cotton resulting in slightly crisper fabric. But the great thing about linen is that it gets softer after each wash, so essentially it gets better with time.
