Double bedding is designed to fit a standard UK double bed, with duvet covers typically measuring 200cm by 200cm and flat sheets around 230cm by 260cm. Fitted sheets are usually 135cm by 190cm with a 25–32cm depth. Always check the product dimensions against your mattress depth before ordering.

Percale cotton feels crisp and cool, while sateen cotton reads as smoother and slightly warmer. Washed linen is the most breathable option and suits warmer sleepers, though it creases by design. Brushed flannel and cotton jersey work well in winter for a softer, warmer feel.

Quality cotton bedding typically lasts five to seven years with weekly washing, while linen can last closer to a decade. Fitted sheets tend to wear out first due to elastic fatigue, so buy two sets and rotate them. Replace pillowcases every two to three years for hygiene reasons.

A thread count between 200 and 400 is the sweet spot for quality cotton bedding, offering a balance of softness, durability and breathability. Anything above 600 is often achieved through multi-ply threads, which can feel dense rather than luxurious. Focus on the fibre quality and weave as much as the thread count.
