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.
3. Microfiber
Linen:Linen is a fabric woven from flax fibers, which come from the flowering flax plant, also known as linseed. Linen is one of the oldest fabrics — possibly dating back as far as30,000 years agoin human history. This traditional fabric is highly valued for its durability, breathability, and pleasantly textured feel.
6. Flannel
In the 18th century, although usually made from wood, bedframes also started to be constructed using metal. Mattresses were stuffed with cotton and maids and personal valets no longer slept on trundles on the floor. The bed was not used for receiving visitors, but rather as a private space. In the 19th century, the four-poster beds were less lavish, and metal bedsprings were invented. It was during the 20th century when the water bed was created, as well as the air, innerspring, and memory foam mattresses, and now in the 20th century, we are spoilt for choice!
Appearance
1. Cotton Sateen
Percale sheets (pronounced “per-kail”) are made with cotton. These have a plain weave — one yarn over, one yarn under — that creates a matte, crisp finish. These sheets get softer with each wash and are best for hot sleepers and warm weather. They aren’t wrinkle-resistant, so it’s best to remove them from the dryer immediately following the end of the cycle.
