When it comes to choosing bed linen, it shouldn't just be about looks. We all have unique style and comfort needs so things like material and weave matter too. Along with cotton, we use viscose and lyocell in our bed linen as they give similar benefits to cotton and have a silky soft feel. Polyester also makes an appearance, flying the flag in the colourfast and easy-care corner. Not sure which material is right for you? Our guide is here to help you choose!
Full of moisture-wicking properties and with a silky feel, lyocell bed linen helps to create a cosy, dry environment to keep you sleeping comfortably all night long. It's made from strong cellulose fibre that mainly comes from eucalyptus wood. Other great things about it? Lyocell dries easily after washing and does not shrink. We think it works brilliantly blended with cotton as it creates durable, super soft bed linen.
Viscose bed linen sets your sleep environment with long-lasting, smooth softness. Highly absorbent, it will keep you comfortable and dry while you sleep. Like lyocell, it's also made from cellulose fibres from wood. Viscose loves colour and holds it very well over time, so will stay looking good for longer. We like to blend it with cotton to give you silky soft, breathable bed linen, night after night.
Cotton is a durable fabric that allows air to circulate and absorbs moisture, while feeling gentle against your skin. It's also cool, making it a great choice in warmer climates. One of the many reasons it is popular is that, as well as being easy to wash, it gets softer and more comfortable over time. With similar qualities to viscose and lyocell, it's often blended with both of them to create long-lasting bed linen that's very smooth.
Coming in lots of vibrant colours and patterns, polyester bed linen makes your bed look and feel great. Highly colour-fast, the synthetic material retains its vibrancy however often you wash it. Another reason we love it is because it is super easy to care for, resistant to stains, and very quick-drying. Polyester fibres don't shrink, so it will retain its original shape, wash after wash. It blends beautifully with lyocell and viscose to create bed linen that's snug and smooth. Good-looking, soft and easy to care for - what's not to love?

The most basic and common type of weave, plain weave creates durable fabric that's the same on both sides. All fabric is made up of two sets of thread: the warp which runs down the length of the fabric, and the weft which runs along the width.
In plain weave, each thread crosses in a one-over one-under pattern that results in a criss-cross finish. The density of the weave is measured in its thread count, which counts the number of threads per square inch.
Love those crisp hotel-feel sheets? Recreate the bed of your favourite hotel room with percale weave bed linen like this HAMPFLOCKEL duvet cover and pillow set. Percale is a tightly woven plain weave with a thread count of over 200 threads per inch, resulting in a dense fabric with a fine texture that is ultra breathable. The resulting bed linen is soft, smooth and cool, ready to transport you to far-flung destinations from the comfort of your own bed.

Exceptionally smooth, sateen weave bed linen has a lustrous sheen, giving the bed a polished look. The fabric has a shiny side and a matte side, which is achieved by weaving one warp thread over four weft threads. The resulting bed linen has a luxurious look and a cool feel to give great sleep comfort.
