We may be biased but we love cotton bedding. White cotton bedding looks fabulous when you’ve completed your bedroom look and its feels fabulous when you climb between the sheets after a long day.
Here’s 6 reasons why we love cotton bedding:
Cotton is breathable
If you’ve ever wondered why you sweat more or feel hot and sticky when wearing or sleeping under man-made materials its because there is no breathability. Cotton is a natural material and provides natural ventilation and so is breathable.
Cotton is temperature regulating for year round use
Cotton naturally absorbs your body heat and transports moisture away from your body, helping to keep you at an ambient temperature throughout the night. It also helps to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Cotton is durable
If you look after your cotton bedding it will last for years and years, much longer than man-made materials will last. Egyptian cotton is the fabric of choice for hotels time and time again due to its durability.

It feels soft
Cotton can feel silky soft against your skin, much more than other fabrics and ideal for a comfortable night’s sleep. Cotton sateen which is particularly silky soft, is perfect for an extra luxurious feeling.

Ideal for sensitive skin
Cotton is naturally hypo-allergenic so its great for sensitive skin or people with allergies. Cotton is woven in a way that is too tight for mould, dust mites and other allergy related particles to pass through. Due to the breathability of cotton, bacteria also can not grow.
It’s a natural material
So will be biodegradable at the end of its life (or recyclable, or can be repurposed).
