Weave

Sheets can be made from different types of weaves.  Percale and sateen are the most popular.  What is the difference between percale and sateen? 

Percale

Percale refers to a very fine plain weave.  It has a cool, crisp hand and a matte look.  Percale sheets are great for “hot sleepers” as the fabric helps keep you cool in the warmer seasons.

Sateen

Sateen is an uneven weave.  While yarns in a percale weave are woven 1 to 1, a sateen weave skips (floats) over multiple yarns creating an uneven pattern.  As the yarns float on the fabric’s surface, this gives it a smooth, soft hand feel and a slight sheen. Sateen sheets are also more insulating than percale sheets.

 

Fiber Content

We offer a wide array of fibers: cotton, bamboo, Tencel®, modal, and microfiber to name a few.  While cotton is the most popular, fibers like bamboo, Tencel®, modal and microfiber offer excellent benefits such as being wrinkle resistant, moisture wicking, insulating and hypoallergenic.

Cotton

Cotton is the most popular choice for sheets.  A natural fiber, cotton regulates temperature by being both breathable and insulating depending on its fabrication.  Cotton is a popular choice for those with sensitive skin.  Many of our sheets are GOTS certified organic as well as OEKTO-TEX Standard 100, meaning they are not produced with any chemicals or dyes that may be harmful to your family or the environment.  Cotton is very versatile and able to be constructed into popular fabrics such as flannel and jersey.  Cotton is durable and long lasting.

Bamboo

Rayon and viscose fibers can be made from raw bamboo, creating a unique fiber with some amazing benefits.  Bamboo is a sustainable crop, and when made into a fiber, has some natural anti-microbial properties.  In addition, it helps wick away moisture leaving you cool and dry while you sleep.  The most popular feature of bamboo fiber is its cool to the touch and silky soft feel. 

Tencel®

Tencel® is the LENZING branded form of Lyocell, a fiber derived from cellulose or wood fiber through processing.  Tencel® sheets are breathable, moisture-wicking, and have a gentle, silky feel.  Tencel® is cool to the touch, which makes them perfect for “hot sleepers.”

Modal

Modal is a manufactured fiber made from the wood pulp of beech trees, which are known for being self-sustaining. The fabric is soft, strong, flexible and maintains its color after many washes. The moisture-wicking qualities make this a great sheet for “hot sleepers”.

Microfiber

Microfiber is an ultrafine and soft polyester fiber.  Microfiber sheets are most known for being more resistant to wrinkles, easy care, soft, hypoallergenic, insulating and vibrant in color.  Microfiber can often get a bad rap for being thin and scratchy.  At LinensNow, we offer the highest quality microfiber sheets, washed for unbelievable softness and a heavier and durable weight for a luxurious drape.

Our Most Popular Sheets

Jersey Sheet Sets

What is the difference with jersey sheets?  Jersey sheets are made with the same construction as your favorite t-shirt.  Similar to a t-shirt, jersey sheets are super comfy, breathable, and easy to clean. 

Flannel Sheet Sets

Flannel sheets are a winter must-have.  Super warm, our flannel sheets are made of 100% cotton for ultimate breathability and comfort.  Flannel sheets get more comfortable with wear and help regulate your body’s temperature by keeping you warm and helping wick away moisture to keep you cool.
