However, a good night’s sleep calls for luxury bedding that fits well. There are many different bed sizes*, and their measurements reflect their intended use. UK beds can be single, double, queen (also known as a small double), king size (for those who value space) and super king size (perfect for family movies!). The largest of them all is an emperor bed at 7ft x 7ft. European bed sizing is slightly bigger, so check your bed dimensions before buying super king size bedding from Europe (or even your local IKEA!) as it may not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBedding Types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper king beds are wider than king size beds, so you’ll need super king bed linen to fully appreciate that delicious extra space.

You’ll know if a mattress dips (sags) as you will likely roll into the middle of the bed unintentionally. A tired mattress filling may also separate and form lumps. Aside from wreaking havoc on your sleep, a mattress with lumps or dips won’t support your spine. This can put pressure on joints and aggravate existing injuries. Regularly rotating a mattress will help to prevent premature sagging. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn summary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e: To keep your mattress in good condition, rotate it regularly.

Soft and breathable, cotton bedding looks as beautiful on the bed as it feels against the skin. Add to that its ease of maintenance and it’s easy to see why cotton bedding is favoured by five-star hotels. Other luxury bedding materials have gained popularity in recent years, including pure linen and silk. Elegant and lustrous, silk bedding is expensive but can require a saint’s patience when laundering, especially if it acquires fake tan or other stains. Similarly to cotton, pure linen is breathable, and has an intentionally crumpled look unlike cotton’s smooth timeless appeal. However, some people find linen bedding a little rough and scratchy on the skin. It can also be prone to shrinking in hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThread Count and Fabric Density\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread count (tc) is often touted as a measure of bed linen quality. However, factors such as yarn quality, fabric construction and finish are just as important when evaluating overall quality. The term thread count refers to the total number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric. In general, the higher the thread count the softer, and more sumptuous the sheet. Most hotels prefer their luxury bedding to sit under 600tc as this provides the perfect balance of bedding durability, luxury and practicality. Creep higher and the fabric density - the number of warp and weft yarns arranged per square inch - can make the bedding less breathable and harder to launder due to the tightly packed threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out if your linen is more low quality than hotel luxury by clicking the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/products\/cool-crisp-200tc-oxford-pillowcase-pair\"\u003ebuyers’ guide\u003c\/a\u003e link on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWeave and Texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure cotton is the most popular choice for a luxuriously soft sleep experience.

Both can create a luxury bedding texture, but sateen offers additional elegance due to its subtle sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton percale is a plan weave in which a single horizontal thread passes over and then under a vertical thread. This basic construction gives the fabric a fresh, crisp feel that’s soft to the touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton sateen is a more intricate weave that creates a fabric with a soft, flowing look.
