The Benefits of Cotton Bed Sheets

Cotton is one of the few natural fibres that works in summer and winter. The fibres are breathable, so warm air moves away from your body instead of sitting against your skin. It also absorbs moisture, which helps a lot if you sleep hot.

Another reason cotton stays popular is its durability. Good quality cotton softens with every wash rather than wearing thin. Longer cotton fibres also hold their surface well and resist pilling, so your sheets stay smooth season after season.

What Are The Best Cotton Sheets to Buy?

The best cotton sheets come down to the weave, thread count, and type of cotton.

The weave changes how a sheet feels more than anything else. Cotton percale uses a simple one-over-one-under weave. It feels crisp, cool and matte, a little like a fresh hotel bed, and it suits warm sleepers. Cotton sateen uses a different structure with more threads sitting on the surface. That sateen weave gives a smoother finish and a soft sheen, so a sateen sheet feels slightly heavier and warmer.

Thread count tells you how many threads are woven into a set area of fabric. We stock cotton sheets from 225 through to a 1000 thread count, so there's heaps to choose from. Percale usually sits at the lower end while cotton sateen climbs higher.

But higher is not always better. A 1000 thread count sheet feels dense and smooth, which is lovely in July but warm in January. A 300 thread count percale often suits an Australian summer far better. Think about how you sleep first, then pick the number.

The type of cotton matters, too. Egyptian cotton uses longer fibres, which makes a stronger, softer sheet that resists pilling. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides and suits anyone who wants fewer chemicals in their bed linen. Blends sit in the middle. Bamboo cotton adds softness and extra airflow, while linen cotton borrows the relaxed texture of linen with less creasing.

What's Included in a Cotton Sheet Set?

A cotton sheet set from Spotlight includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and pillowcases. Smaller sizes come with one pillowcase and larger sets include two. The fitted sheet has elastic corners and stretches over your mattress to stay put overnight. Flat sheets lie loose between you and your quilt. Plenty of Australians skip the flat sheet in summer. It does keep your quilt cover cleaner though, and adds a layer you can push off when you warm up. You can also buy separates. A spare fitted sheet means you can strip the bed and remake it the same day. Mixing a plain fitted sheet with patterned flat sheets and pillowcases can also change the look without a whole new set.

Get The Right Size Cotton Sheets For Your Bed And Pillows

Measure your mattress before you buy, especially the depth. Spotlight stocks cotton sheets in these bed sizes:

• Single and long single sheets fit standard and extended single beds.
• King single sheets suit the wider single mattress common in kids' rooms.
• Double and queen sheets cover the two most popular Australian beds
• King and super king sheets fit larger beds, with split king sets made for adjustable bases.
• Mega queen and mega king sheets have deeper walls for thick mattresses and toppers.

Pillowcase sizes work differently. A standard pillowcase measures 50x75cm and fits an everyday pillow. A European pillowcase measures 65x65cm and fits the square pillows you prop against the bedhead.

Complete Your Setup With Matching Bed Linen

Cotton quilt covers are the easiest match for cotton sheets because they wash and wear at the same rate. We stock quilt cover sets in the same weaves and colours as the sheet range, so your quilt cover and sheet set sit together without clashing. For warmer nights, a coverlet adds a lighter layer without the weight of a full quilt. A valance covers the bed base for a neater finish, while a mattress protector sits beneath your fitted sheet to help protect your mattress from everyday wear.
