Bed linen colour is a very personal choice. The most popular colours for bed sheets are neutral colours like white and cream, while popular duvet cover and pillowcase colours include white, grey, pink and green in various shades.
Jersey bed sheets use the same type of knit cotton or cotton mix as the humble t-shirt! They are soft and stretchy but not particularly durable.
For more affordable options, expensive cotton fabrics are often blended with lower-quality variants to manage costs. Check the label for the cotton composition before purchasing to ensure you know exactly what you’re getting.
