400 thread count Bed Linen is a luxury, but nevertheless one that you will feel the benefit from. But first before going any further lets clarify what thread count actually means. The thread count is just that a count of how many threads make up one square inch of the fabric in question, the threads are counted both from top to bottom and side to side. So if you counted 50 threads from left to right and a further 50 went from top to bottom then the fabric would have a thread count of 100, this is a low count. Standard quality bed linen tends to have a thread count of 180-200, as the thread count increases then so does the quality, feel and softness, but only to a point. Once you get beyond say a thread count of 550 then the quality can actually reduce. The reason for this is that beyond this point the thread count becomes purely a marketing factor. So that one manufacturer can say mine has more than yours. But in reality to achieve thread counts at this level the threads are either very fine (possibly nice and soft but quite thin and not very hard wearing) or multiple threads have been wound together before weaving (which could result in a harsher fabric, but with an artificially high thread count).

So what about our 400 thread count bed linen, well its right at the top of the quality level range with a great combination of comfort and softness combined with a hard wearing long life. They are manufactured using the highest quality long staple 100% Egyptian Cotton. Egyptian cotton is deemed to be the finest cotton available with the softest feel, the yarn is then combed to make it even finer and more lustrous and durable. It is available in a wide range of sizes and in White or Ivory

Jersey Bed Linen is ideal for use with memory foam mattresses but not exclusively so.

Jersey fabric is created using a knitting process unlike traditional bed linen which is woven. The benefits of this are that a knitted fabric can stretch in both directions, but a woven fabric can only stretch in one direction. For the more usual sprung mattresses this is not a problem but for a memory foam mattress the ability to stretch in both directions is very important.

To understand why this is important we need to understand how a memory foam mattress works and how it is constructed. A memory foam mattress has no springs at all, it consists of two pieces of foam sandwiched together. The lower section of foam is a support layer, without this you would sink too far into the mattress. The upper section is the memory foam. This foam reacts with the warmth of your body and moulds itself to every contour adjusting as you move to provide continuous support throughout the night.

If the bed linen that you are using is woven rather than knitted then the fabric cannot mould with the mattress and you are effectively minimising the effect of the memory foam, in addition the single directional stretch means that woven sheets are much more likely to ‘pop’ off the mattress at the corners and sides particularly if you sit on the edge of the bed. For this reason Jersey Bed Linen is recommended for use with all memory foam mattresses.

That’s not to say that you can only use Jersey Bed Linen with a memory foam mattress, Jersey Bed Linen can be used with any mattress type but is essential with memory foam. Jersey Bed Linen can be manufactured using 100% cotton or a polyester cotton mix.

Jersey Bed Linen from The Sleep Sanctuary is manufactured from luxurious 100% combed cotton, this provides exceptional softness and comfort which like memory foam retains its shape after being stretched. It is available in both white and ivory, in two mattress depths and in most popular mattress sizes.
