Bedding

Choosing the right bed linen means giving yourself a quality night's sleep while dressing your bedroom in style. Between the different products, the materials available and the dimensions adapted to each bed, let's take stock to help you put together the ideal set.

The different bed linen products

A complete bedding set is made up of several essential elements, each playing a specific role in your nighttime comfort.

• The pillowcase dresses your pillow and protects its filling while providing softness in contact with your skin and hair. It exists in square (65x65 cm) or rectangular (50x70 cm) format depending on your preferences.
• The flat sheet is placed between the sleeper and the duvet. Traditionally used in French families, it provides an extra layer of hygiene and allows heat to be adjusted according to the seasons.
• The fitted sheet covers the mattress thanks to its elasticated edges. Essential, it keeps the mattress clean and provides a smooth and comfortable surface. Remember to check the height of the cap so that it adapts perfectly to the thickness of your mattress.
• The duvet cover envelops and protects your duvet. Easily washable, it can be changed regularly and often constitutes the aesthetic centerpiece of the bed.
• The bolster case completes the set for those who prefer this long pillow format, particularly appreciated in traditional French bedrooms.

Materials: find the one that suits you

The choice of material directly influences the comfort, durability and maintenance of your bed linen.

Cotton percale 80 threads/cm²

Tightly woven, it is characterized by a cool and smooth, almost crunchy feel. Particularly resistant and breathable, it is ideal for hot sleepers and offers excellent value for money in the long term.

Cotton satin 120 threads/cm²

It stands out for its silky touch and slightly shiny appearance. Its specific weave provides a luxurious, fluid feel on the skin, perfect for those seeking a premium bedding experience.

Cotton gauze

It seduces with its natural wrinkled appearance and its airy feel. Very soft and light, it brings a bohemian and relaxed touch to the bedroom, without requiring ironing, a real time saver on a daily basis.

Washed linen

Having become a must-have for contemporary bedrooms, it is naturally thermoregulating: it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. Its authentic wrinkled appearance and its patina which becomes more beautiful with time make it a durable and elegant investment.
