The Harrods Guide to Bedding

Words by Tanya Small

Once upon a time, sleep was considered a luxury. But in an age as fast-paced as ours, it’s no wonder there’s been a shift towards making sleep a priority. Feeling well-rested is now a necessity for many and it all starts with comfortable bedding. So, let us put your mind to rest by answering your most frequently asked bedding questions.   

Think of the most comfortable bed you’ve ever slept in – does a hotel bed spring to mind? Hotels have proven time and time again that their perfectly tucked sheets and plump duvets are a sure way to entice us to sleep. Below are our top materials for achieving that same level of comfort at home. 

The thread count of your bedding simply indicates how many threads have been woven into each square inch. The best thread count depends on your preferred feel. Higher thread count sheets have close-knit yarns, so they typically feel warm and heavy. Lower thread count sheets feel light and airy because their yarns have more room to breathe.
