Bed Linen FAQs
What are bed linens?
Bed linens are the fabric layers that dress your bed: flat sheets, fitted sheets, pillowcases, pillow shams and duvet covers. Together they set the comfort and the look of your bed, and they are the easiest way to refresh a bedroom.
What is the difference between cotton, Egyptian cotton and linen?
Cotton is soft, breathable and great value. Egyptian cotton uses longer fibres for an extra smooth, more luxurious feel. Linen is textured and highly breathable, and it softens with every wash. The comparison above breaks down which suits you.
What is a good thread count for sheets?
For cotton sheets, a thread count in the 300 to 500 range gives a soft, durable result. Beyond that, the quality of the cotton itself matters more than the number, so look at the fibre and the weave, not just the thread count.
Do you sell duvet covers in Canada?
Yes. Northern Feather offers duvet covers in Canada across our bed linen collections, so you can match your cover to your sheets and pillowcases for a complete set.
How do I care for my bed linens?
Wash in cool or warm water, tumble dry on low, and avoid overloading the machine so the fabric can move freely. Cotton and Egyptian cotton press smooth, while linen is happy to air dry and keep its relaxed look.
