Bedding FAQ

What’s the difference between Origins, Artisan, and Luxury Artisan bedding ranges?

Our three bedding ranges mirror our mattress philosophy: different tiers for different priorities, but all offering exceptional quality for their price point.

Origins Bedding (500TC, cotton-rich blend, 114gsm) uses a premium blend with man-made fibres for outstanding wrinkle resistance and easy care. The hybrid sateen-percale weave is exceptionally lightweight and breathable. It requires little to no ironing and maintains its smooth appearance wash after wash. Perfect for busy households who want quality bedding without maintenance demands. Best value entry point.

Artisan Bedding (450TC, 100% Pima cotton, single-ply) represents pure natural fibre luxury with extra-long staple Pima cotton. The true 450 single-ply construction offers superior breathability and that characteristic cotton softness. It will wrinkle more than Origins but rewards you with genuine natural fibre performance and a seven-year guarantee. Ideal for those who prioritise pure cotton and don’t mind occasional ironing.

Luxury Artisan Bedding (1000TC, 100% Egyptian cotton, 185gsm, single-ply) is the ultimate expression of cotton bedding. Certified Egyptian cotton with true 1000 thread count single-ply construction creates hotel-quality luxury that actually improves with age. The substantial 185gsm weight provides indulgent heft whilst remaining breathable. This is bedding for those who want the absolute finest and understand the difference genuine Egyptian cotton makes. Premium investment.

Why is Egyptian cotton considered superior to Pima cotton?

Both are excellent long-staple cottons, but Egyptian cotton typically has longer fibres (30-40mm vs 35mm for Pima) and benefits from the unique growing conditions of the Nile valley. The extra length allows for even finer, stronger threads. Egyptian cotton also has a slightly more pronounced lustre and that distinctive cool, sleek feel. Pima cotton is exceptional and offers outstanding value; Egyptian cotton represents the absolute pinnacle for those who want the very best.

Will 1000 thread count feel too heavy or hot?

Despite the high thread count and 185gsm weight, single-ply Egyptian cotton construction maintains excellent breathability. The quality of the cotton and weaving method matter more than the numbers alone. These sheets have substance and beautiful drape but still feel cool and sleek against your skin. They’re surprisingly versatile across seasons because Egyptian cotton naturally regulates temperature.

How does this compare to hotel bedding?

This is the same calibre of bedding used in five-star hotels. Premium hotels invest in genuine long-staple Egyptian cotton with authentic high thread counts because they need luxury feel combined with durability for industrial laundering. You’re getting hotel quality without hotel price premiums or the need to stay somewhere else to experience it.

Does this bedding really get softer with washing?

Yes, genuinely. It seems counterintuitive, but pure Egyptian cotton with proper single-ply construction actually improves with use. The long staple fibres gradually relax and become more supple whilst the quality construction prevents pilling and degradation. After six months of regular use and washing, these sheets will feel noticeably better than when new. This is a characteristic of premium Egyptian cotton properly woven.

How do I care for 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton?

Machine wash at 40°C with mild detergent. No bleach or harsh chemicals. Tumble dry low or line dry. Use a warm iron if desired, though many customers embrace the natural drape with minimal pressing. The key is that regular washing actually benefits the fabric, making it softer over time. Don’t baby these sheets; use and enjoy them.

What sizes do you offer?

We offer the complete range from single to superking size, accommodating even the most generous mattress dimensions. Our fitted sheets feature deep pockets up to 35cm in depth with generous elastication. If you have an unusual size requirement, please contact our team directly and we’ll be happy to discuss bespoke options.

You might say that we’re obsessed with mattresses, and because of that our in-house team of experts are always on hand to answer your questions, and provide you with a wide range of advice and guidance.

However, when you’ve been doing this for as long as we have, you tend to notice that some questions get asked very regularly. We’ve therefore listened to what you need to know, and have put together a growing series of FAQs to help you to quickly find the answers you need!

No, and no showroom or retailer sells our products. This is part of the reason why our prices can be so competitive: our internet-based company model allows us to avoid passing the excessive costs of other retailers on to our customers. Most staff within showrooms are also not bed experts (unlike our own in-house team). Sadly, such staff probably wouldn’t understand mattress manufacture to the extent that they could reliably answer your questions. To give you confidence in our way of doing things, our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee offers the ability to return a mattress that doesn’t suit you for a full refund, or you can perform a one-time exchange and swap to an alternative model. You can visit our guarantee page for more information, or our article about buying a mattress online to see just why our approach actually benefits you!

From the time you place your order, there is a 4 week average lead time until delivery for most of our mattress models. This is because all of our mattresses, bases and headboards are handmade to order especially for you! You can visit our delivery page for more information.
