Why Choose Cotton Bedding?
Cotton is a natural fibre that has been used for centuries in bedding. Its advantages make it a top choice for UK customers. Their breathability allows air circulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. The natural fibres of cotton provide comfort for sensitive skin. This combination of comfort and practicality makes cotton bedding a long-term investment for both homes and businesses.

Thread Count in Cotton Bedding
When buying cotton bedding, thread count is a key factor in quality.
- 144 Thread Count Cotton – durable and practical for everyday use. Ideal for guest rooms and budget-friendly needs.
- 200 Thread Count Percale Cotton – crisp, breathable, and soft. Popular for both homes and hotels.
- 400 Thread Count Sateen Cotton – silky smooth with a subtle sheen. A luxury choice for those seeking a hotel-quality finish.
Higher thread counts offer a softer feel, while lower thread counts are lightweight and perfect for frequent washing.
GSM and Weight of Cotton Bedding
GSM (grams per square metre) measures the fabric weight. Lighter cotton fabrics (around 120–150 GSM) are ideal for summer, offering breathability and coolness. Mid-weight cotton (150–200 GSM) provides year-round comfort. Heavier cotton fabrics (200+ GSM) deliver a warmer, denser feel, perfect for luxury bedding. Our range includes cotton fabrics across all weights, so you can select the ideal bedding for every season.
Different Types of Cotton Weaves
Not all cotton bedding feels the same. The weave used plays a big role:
- Percale Cotton – crisp, matte finish, breathable and cool. Best for hot sleepers.
- Sateen Cotton – silky smooth with a slight sheen, warmer and more luxurious.
- Flannel Cotton – brushed for softness and warmth, ideal for winter.
- Organic Cotton – eco-friendly and chemical-free, perfect for sensitive sleepers.
Each weave has its own benefits, allowing you to choose cotton bedding that matches your comfort needs.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Bedding
Cotton is a natural and biodegradable material, making it a sustainable choice compared to synthetic fabrics. Many of our products feature organic cotton options, grown without harmful pesticides. Choosing organic cotton helps protect the environment and provides a healthier sleep environment. Additionally, the long-lasting durability of cotton bedding reduces waste and the need for frequent replacements. This makes it an eco-friendly investment.
