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 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.
