Selecting Your Sheets
Picking Your Perfect Sheets
Start With Cotton
We at Cuddle Down believe that the best sheets in the world are made with 100% cotton. Why?
Because Cotton is:
- Soft and comfortable on your skin
- Breathable: Absorbs moisture and wicks it away.
- Renewable resource
- Biodegradable
What Sheet Type Are You?
It will answer your weave type.
There are 3 types of sheet people in this world.
- Cool Crisp Hotel Feel
- Silky Smooth Luxury Feel
- Design
| Sheet Type | Weave | Try |
|---|---|---|
| Cool Crisp Hotel Feel | Percale: 1:1 weave creates a soft but crisp sheet the is very cool | |
| Silky Smooth Luxury Feel | Sateen: 3:1 or 4:1 weave creates a silky smooth sheet with a slight luster. | |
| Design | Jacquard: Yarns are woven to provide a design. | Renaissance Collection Jacquards |
What about thread count?
Different thread counts have different characteristics, but lower thread count does not mean lower quality. Thread count is literally the number of threads in a square inch of fabric.
Real quality comes from the type of Cotton and how it is woven and finished.
Lower thread counts use a thicker yarn which produces a crisper sheet that is cooler as well. This is why we use a 200 thread count on our percale sheets.
Higher thread counts use thinner yarn and create a smoother feel but a warmer sheet. This is why we us medium to high thread counts on our Sateen sheets.
