Cotton Bedding

Cotton is the quiet workhorse of a good bed: breathable, soft and durable, and it only improves with washing. This edit covers sheet sets, duvet covers and bedding in natural cotton, in calm tones that layer easily.

Look at weave and fiber quality over headline thread counts — a well-woven, long-staple cotton feels soft and lasts far longer than a high count of weaker fiber.

Frequently asked questions

What thread count is best for cotton sheets?
Fiber quality matters more than the number — well-woven long-staple cotton in the 200 to 400 range feels soft, breathes well and lasts longer than very high counts of weaker fiber.

Is cotton bedding good for hot sleepers?
Yes — cotton is breathable and wicks moisture, making it a comfortable, cool choice year-round, especially in a percale weave.

How do I care for cotton bedding?
Wash warm or cool, skip fabric softener, and tumble dry low or line dry; cotton softens with every wash and only improves with age.
