Crawling into crisp cotton, snoozing under snuggly fleece or wrapping up in a super king when your bed's only a double (you were thinking about it, admit it!). Made of top-notch materials, our bedding will make you doze off in no ti...zzzzz.

Choosing the right material for your bed sheets

Light and airy or plush and snuggly, the material really makes a difference.

Cotton & brushed cotton bedding

Our cotton sheets are made from 100% cotton or cotton mixes – that’s why they feel so soft. Cosy in winter, cool in summer, they’re an allrounder. Whereas brushed cotton retains heat a bit more and feels super comfy during colder months.

Linen bedding

Feel cool, calm and ready to doze off in light and luxurious linen bedding. Not only is this fabric a dreamy choice if you get hot in bed, but it doesn't take long to dry either. Yippee!

Velvet bedding

Could it get any more luxurious? You’re going to want your bed dressed in this fancy fabric when the temperature drops. Feeling slightly heavier than other fabrics, a sound sleep is definitely on the cards.

What is thread count?

Thread count is how many horizontal and vertical threads there are per inch of fabric.

What is a good thread count for a duvet cover?
Usually, the higher the thread count, the thicker it is, which can feel a bit more 5-star. But lower thread count doesn’t mean lower quality – you may opt for a lower thread count if it’s summer or you get hot at night. At Habitat, our bed linens have a variety of thread counts depending on the look, feel and price of the fabric we’ve created.
