Did you know you spend 1/3 of your life in bed? That could be 25-30 years! That's why it's important to make your nest as comfortable and pleasant as possible. 

Choosing the right bedding, pillows and mattress is important. Here, I'll go through the different type of bedding fabrics we can chose for you to achieve that perfect night's sleep.


​
Percale:

This classic type of weave will remind you of a Parisian hotel. Cool and crisp, made of pure Egyptian cotton of course will help you sleep cool-- so it's perfect for those warmer climates

Sateen:

For people who love a soft and buttery feel but don't want the high-maintenance of silk. This cotton weave has more exposed threads versus the classic basketweave of a percale sheet. Giving it that soft hand, and high sheen.

​
Jacquard:

This type of fabric is designed for top-of-the-bed, so you probably won't be sleeping on it. Jacquard's are classical beautiful woven patters in the fabric itself--- not to be confused with a print! These types of weaves are higher-end and not seen frequently-- but a beauty to behold.
