How to Find Your Perfect Sheets
DEC 19|3 min read
From cotton, to linen and bamboo sheets; we break down all our bedlinen collections to help you find the sheets that will give you a great night’s sleep.
Beauty sleep takes a little bit of research – so luckily, we’ve done it for you!
The perfect sheet set will make all the difference to the quality of your sleep. And one size - or in this case, fabric - doesn’t always fit all. First, you’ll need to consider what features are important to you. Do you want super soft sheets? Do you need them to be low maintenance? Do you just want to replicate that feeling of hotel-style luxury? When it comes to beds, we’re the experts; so naturally, we boast a wide range of sheets to suit every sleeper. Made using the finest quality materials - from linen to bamboo and cotton - our sheets are designed to last, wash after wash. Never stretching out or losing their shape, our sheets make that dreaded chore (putting new sheets on the bed, ugh) a little easier.
Available in a wide range of colours and exclusive prints, take a look at the key features of our sheets to help you find the perfect fit for you.
What’s the best material for a bed sheet?
Our expert store team is our go-to for all things home advice. That’s why we’ve headed to some of our most experienced team members to find out what you’re asking! We chatted Sheets with Laura, our Store Manager in Highpoint, VIC, who knows how to pick the perfect bedlinen for your sleep style.
Vintage Washed Linen Sheets
Starting strong with our best-selling bedlinen, Vintage Washed Linen is popular for good reason. Crafted from 100% certified European flax, the natural fibres are incredibly durable and long-lasting. Rather than being damaged by the cleaning process, the linen becomes softer with every wash and wear. A good investment for year-round comfort, these sheets are a great choice for anyone looking for an undone, lived-in-looking bed. Shop separates in different colours for a totally trending look.
Stonewashed Cotton Sheets
If you love the look of linen but want something a little smoother, Stonewashed Cotton is your best friend. With a similarly contemporary, casual look, these sheets are lightly textured but incredibly soft. Made from 100% cotton, this bedlinen collection is easy to care for, and doesn’t need a lot of special treatment. Prewashed with stones to make the fibres more relaxed, this weave is ultra-durable – making it a summertime winner.
Bamboo Linen Sheets
With all the benefits of bamboo cotton, combined with the relaxed look of flax linen, Bamboo Linen is a premium choice for your bed. Allowing your body temperature to regulate as you sleep, the space in the weave of this fabric allows for incredible airflow. Perfect for both hot and cold sleepers, this sustainable fabric will keep you comfortable. Blending 80% bamboo and 20% linen, this collection is the definition of effortless luxury.
Bamboo Cotton Sheets
Allergy sufferers, rejoice – this is the bedlinen for you! Naturally anti-bacterial, Bamboo Cotton won’t allow microbes, odour, mould or bacteria to grow, letting you breathe cleanly as you sleep. This fabric is also hypoallergenic, which will reduce the number of mornings you wake up feeling stuffy or sneezy. This collection is also supremely breathable and silky smooth to the touch, making it a winner for warm weather. Don’t forget, allergies = poor sleep.

What size sheets do I need?
The first thing to note when buying sheets is that not all mattresses are made the same. A king mattress bought in Australia is likely to have different dimensions than a king bought in the UK or US. With that in mind, we recommend always buying sheets from Australian stores if you have an Australian mattress.
Some mattresses are in extra-long lengths, so you’ll naturally want to buy matching sheets. Extra-long flat sheets may also be a good idea if you’re sleeping with a bedlinen-snatcher or just need a bit more room to move. Our handy guide explains what dimensions match different bed sizes:
What does thread count really mean?
Thread Count is the number of threads per square inch of fabric, both vertically and horizontally. Generally speaking, a higher thread count means a softer sheet, however, keep in mind thread count is not the only thing that matters. The type of fibre, quality of the cotton and how carefully the sheets are made all contribute to the overall quality of the bed sheets.
Lived-in, relaxed-looking fabrics will naturally have a lower thread count in order to create flexible, draping sheets for an undone bed vibe. Conversely, sateen, heavy-weight fabrics will have a higher thread count to recreate that traditional crisp sheet look.
