Egyptian Cotton

The world's best cotton is harvested from the white, fluffy fibres produced by Gossypium barbadense, perhaps better known as the cotton plant. Egyptian Cotton, grown along the banks of the majestic Nile river has become famous for its superb quality and inviting texture which hasled in turn to it being used in prestigious hotels including the Hilton chain. Bedsheets which are made from Egyptian Cotton feel incredibly smooth against your skin, and because they are highly breathable, they will prevent you from overheating in summer, or feeling chilly in winter.

Pure Linen

Pure Linen brings a sensation of classic opulence to a bedroom, and is surprisingly easy to carefor. With its rich, crisp feel and soft sheen, the texture is quite different from other fabrics. Linen is made by spinning fibres from the Flax plant which is grown commercially throughout Europe. Some of the best known linens come from Scotland and Ireland, with Belgian linen also rated very highly in terms of luxury.

Mulberry Silk

Perhaps the most romantic fabric that you could choose for your bedding – silk is sensual andexotic. The best silk is Mulberry Silk – completely natural, it is produced by the Bombyx mori, more commonly known as the silkworm moth. The larvae of the moth eat the leaves of mulberrytrees, and produce the silky substance which is harvested and woven. These moths have beencultivated in China for thousands of years for commercial purposes, and to this day, the best silkcomes from the Western region of the country – an area sometimes known as the Silk Road.

If you want to indulge yourself with luxury bedding fabrics such as Egyptian Cotton, Pure Linenor Mulberry Silk, choose the highest thread-count that you can afford. If you follow the care instructions carefully, your bedding will last for many years making it a real investment, even if the initial outlay is fairly high.
