A good night’s sleep starts with great sheets, and choosing the right bedding fabric is a crucial first step. Since starting Piglet in Bed in , we’ve poured a lot of love and care into finding the best fabric for bedding, and for us, natural materials have always been non-negotiable.

Our opening collection comprised 100% linen bedding designs and since then we’ve grown to incorporate our relaxed look cotton bedding and soft and breathable linen blend bedding. Choosing the right bedding largely comes down to personal preference, so with that in mind we’ve put together a handy bedding fabric guide to help your find your perfect pick.
When choosing between bedding fabric types, you’ll want to consider the feel and weight of the material, as well as the cost and any care recommendations. All our sheets feel soft against the skin, but different fabrics and weaves will give different finishes.
Decide whether you prefer your bedding to feel smooth, silky, crisp, cool or cozy, and whether you want a lightweight or heavier fabric. The price of bedding may also be a determining factor, and with our choice of three fabrics, there’s something for every budget.
Our collections are made up of three bedding fabric types: 100% linen, 100% cotton and our linen cotton blend. Here, we’ll talk you through the differences between these three fabrics to help you choose your perfect bedding.
Few fabrics exude the same level of understated elegance as linen. It’s luxurious yet low-maintenance, lightweight yet durable, and only gets softer with age. Made from the long fibers of the flax plant, linen fabric for bedding is breathable and naturally thermoregulating, keeping you at just the right temperature, no matter the season.
Linen is one of the most durable natural fabrics there is, and the fibers are three times stronger than cotton. Flax is grown almost exclusively in Europe and is notoriously laborious to harvest. As a result, linen is a high-quality fiber that is much rarer than other textiles, and this is reflected by its higher price.
Our linen bedding is woven from 100% European flax. We recommend to machine wash our linen bedding on a warm cycle and embrace the fabric’s natural crumpled texture for fuss-free bed making!

Woven from a mix of 55% European linen and 45% long staple cotton, our linen blend bedding combines the effortless look of linen with the softness of cotton. As with our linen bedding, our blended fabric is naturally breathable and thermoregulating, but the addition of cotton gives it a smoother finish.
Cozy yet lightweight, our linen blend bedding is the perfect year-round essential and will withstand being thrown in a warm cycle wash again and again. Our linen blend sheets are also less likely to crease compared to our 100% linen and 100% cotton bedding, so we encourage you to put your iron away!
Made in Portugal with the same high-quality linen and BCI-certified cotton (more on that below) from our other collections, our linen blend bedding offers luxurious sheets at the best possible value.
Our no-fuss 100% cotton bedding is a classic choice for hotel-worthy sheets at home. Made from long cotton fibers woven into a percale weave, it has a crisp, cool feel and is perfect for warmer nights and hot sleepers. Super soft and naturally breathable, our cotton bedding has a lightweight yet durable 200 thread count weave with a matte finish.
All our cotton is sourced in partnership with the Better Cotton Initiative, the world’s leading sustainability initiative for cotton. We recommend machine washing on a warm cycle and you can iron for a smooth look or embrace the wrinkles! Our cotton bedding has many similar qualities to our linen and linen blend collections, but is that little bit easier on the wallet.

There are a few key differences between cotton and linen bedding. Cotton usually feels smooth to the touch with a cool and crisp finish, whereas linen has a cozier, rustic feel to it. Both fabrics are naturally breathable but cotton doesn’t have the same weight that linen does, and while linen gets softer with wear, cotton feels ultra-soft right out of the box.

We spend a large portion of our lives sleeping, and since sleep is so vital to your overall health, it’s important to make sure you’re comfortable when you crawl into bed at night. Just think about the most comfortable, wonderful night of rest you’ve ever had. What immediately comes to mind? Probably the sheets. Your sheets come into direct contact with your skin, so figuring out how to buy sheets is critical to spending a great night in dreamland.
With so many options available on the market, finding the best sheets evercan be a bit of a challenge. To help you make this important decision, we’ve put together some essential questions to ask before you buy bedding...
Do you deal with allergies? Indoor allergies and the sniffling, sneezing and itchy eyes that come with them can actually interfere with your sleep. You may be surprised to find that some bedding made of natural materials, such as silk and cotton, may actually contain pollen, which can trigger your allergies. Some indoor allergens like dust mites and pet hair have the ability to weave their way into sheets made of natural fabrics like cotton, triggering your allergies at night.
PeachSkinSheets are made from polyfiber, a hand-engineered fabric that is never exposed to allergens. Since polyfiber has a naturally tight weave, dust mites can’t adhere to the fabric and pet hair can’t weave its way in, which means you’ll have fewer problems with allergies ruining your rest at night.
If you’re wondering how to buy sheets, one of the key things to look for is durability. When you invest in new bedding, you want high-quality sheets that will stand up to daily use. You don’t want to purchase sheets that shrink the first time you wash them, as cotton tends to do, leaving you tugging and pulling to get them on your bed. It’s also essential to choose sheets that are colorfast so they continue to look beautiful even after washing them multiple times. Choose sheets that won’t shrink, are colorfast, and won’t “pill” over time - which can leave you itching at night.
The last thing you want to do is to lie down and snuggle up to sheets laden with pesticides. Many natural fibers like non-organic cotton are treated with a variety of pesticides, which is necessary to protect against a variety of pests during its long growing season. The polyfiber used for PeachSkinSheets is naturally pesticide free - so you can cuddle with your sheets without worry!
Although color probably isn’t the most important consideration, it’s definitely nice to find sheets in colors that match your current bedspread, quilt, duvet cover or comforter. You may also want sheets in colors that fit in nicely with your bedroom décor. PeachSkinSheets are available in many different colors and currently, all colors in any regular-size sheet set are on sale for $55 through the end of December, so you can pick the perfect colors for your bedroom and score a holiday deal!
Whether you’re a hot sleeper or you deal with hot flashes, you definitely want to consider if the sheets you’re considering will make you too warm at night. Some fabrics don’t breathe well and leave you feeling hot and uncomfortable when you’re trying to sleep. Luxury sheets like PeachSkinSheets are designed to keep hot sleepers cooler and drier throughout the night. Polyfiber sheets are actually much lighter than other types of fabrics like cotton, so they’re perfect for hot sleepers and women dealing with the hot flashes that often come with menopause.
Along with hot flashes, many people deal with night sweats as well, and no one loves waking up in a puddle of sweat in the middle of the night. Cotton and many other types of fabrics simply leave you with wet sheets because they absorb moisture. However, the polyfiber used in PeachSkinSheets actually wicks away sweat instead of just absorbing it, so you stay cooler and drier throughout the night. Polyfiber also dries quickly no matter how much you sweat, so you’ll enjoy a more comfortable night of rest even with night sweats.
