The 19th century saw the invention of the cotton gin. This machine quickly and easily separates cotton fibres from their seeds which revolutionised cotton production. Thus, the cotton sheet was born. This was the start of a new industry. It became much easier to produce cotton than flax and that in turn made it a cheaper product. Ultimately cotton became the popular choice for bedding, though the name bed linen stuck.
Percale is characterized by a crisp, smooth feel and a matte appearance. This weave is also valued for its breathability, as it has a lower thread count than other styles.
A bed sheet is a rectangular piece of cloth used either singly or in a pair as bedding, which is larger in length and width than a mattress, and which is placed immediately above a mattress or bed, but below blankets and other bedding (such as comforters and bedspreads). A bottom sheet is laid above the mattress, and may be either a flat sheet or a fitted sheet (a sheet which has been sewn with elastic or a drawstring along the hem of the top, sides and bottom of the sheet to prevent it from slipping off of the mattress). A top sheet, in the many countries where they are used, is a flat sheet, which is placed above a bottom sheet and below other bedding.
Blanket
A blanket is a generic term that refers to almost any bed covering thicker than a sheet, including quilts, duvets, and comforters. It can also refer to a more utilitarian woven covering that is sandwiched between a flat sheet and another layer primarily for warmth. A blanket drapes over the sides of the bed. Our Chatham blanket is a versatile favorite.

Styles of Bed Linens: Bed linens offer a broader range of styles, including duvet covers, which encase duvets or comforters, and pillowcases, which can range from simple to decorative. Bed linens can also include items like bed skirts, which add a decorative touch while hiding the space under the bed, and quilts or coverlets for additional warmth or decorative layering.
Black bedding - The colour of a dark night, black may help lull you to sleep. However, it won't make it easy to get up in the morning! It can be an easy colour to match with any colour scheme and could be deemed a rather sexy bedding colour!
Materials for Bed Sheets: Commonly, bed sheets are crafted from materials like cotton, linen, silk, or synthetic fibers. Cotton is renowned for its breathability and moisture management, ideal for a variety of climates. Linen sheets, derived from flax fibers, offer durability and a unique textured appearance. Silk sheets, though a luxurious option, are excellent for hypoallergenic needs and temperature regulation. Synthetic fibers, such as polyester, provide affordability and resilience but may lack the natural comfort of their counterparts.
Researchers say that the term bed sheet was first used in the 15th century, but it wasn’t until 1959 that the fitted bed sheet was invented, by the American, Bertha Berman.
