Our bed linen buying guide will help you to find the perfect bed linen to suit your need whether you’re just setting up in your own place or you’re refreshing your family home.

What size do you need?
Bed linen that fits your bed and bedding properly will save you from getting tangled in excess material or trying to stretch the unstretchable to keep you comfortable. Check your bed size here and find bed linen to match.

All our bedding ranges have been designed to make dressing your bed as stress-free as possible:

• All of our fitted sheets are fully elasticated all the way around to fit securely to your mattress.
• All of our pull me tight fitted sheets have convenient toggle fastening for ultimate comfort and practicality.
• All of our true grip fitted sheets are designed to stay perfectly in place, offering a flawless fit and unmatched comfort every night.
• Our pillowcases have deep envelopes (flaps) to ensure your pillow stays inside and doesn’t show.
• All of our duvet covers have ‘shoulders’ either side of the opening to keep your duvet in place all night.
• Our care labels clearly state what the item is and its size, which should shorten your hunt in the linen closet. The care label can be found on the short side of your sheet, to make bed-changing a breeze.
• Our duvets include a spare button, conveniently attached to the care label, so you’re prepared if a button ever needs replacing. We offer duvets with both button closures and zip fastenings, so you can choose the style that suits you.

• Washing your bedding before use will rejuvenate and enrich the feel after manufacturing.

• Wash your bed linen weekly to keep it looking at its best. Not only does this create a hygienic night’s sleep but leaving it longer can cause discoloration.

• Always separate your bed linen into light and dark colours to avoid colours running in the wash.

• Remove the washing out of the machine as soon as the cycle is complete to avoid them smelling damp.

• The temperature on the care label is a reference to the highest temperature your linens can withstand, so consider washing at a lower temperature which is kinder on your product and the planet. Running a prewash may be necessary for heavily soiled linens and most modern detergents provide excellent results at low temperatures.

• Remove the washing out of the machine as soon as the cycle is complete to avoid them smelling damp and to reduce excessive creasing.

• Avoid washing your bed linen with clothing as hooks and zips can catch on the delicate fabrics and damage them.

• Where possible we recommend line-drying your bed linen to minimise ironing and reduce your impact on the environment. Line-drying percales will help to make the ironing process quicker and easier.

• If you love the look of crisp ironed bedding, then iron your sheets when they are almost dry as this will help with stubborn creases. It is also worth bearing in mind when choosing your bedding that percale fabrics are more prone to creases than sateen fabrics.
