How to choose your bed linen?

King of the bedroom, bed linen is the guarantee of a good night's sleep. We want it to be soft, comfortable and enveloping... but among the different Madura fabrics, it's hard to choose. We'll take a look at washed linen, cotton gauze and cotton satin to help you make up your mind!

Washed linen

Linen is a plant-based material with a long history. In fact, its fibers have always been renowned for their strength and durability. This natural material is ideal for bed linen because it does not attack or irritate the skin. In fact, when washed, linen loses its rough appearance and takes on an incomparable softness.

Why choose washed linen?

Breathable and thermoregulating, linen adapts to all seasons: it's as warm in winter as it is cool in summer. Linen is also extremely hard-wearing and will not warp, making it extremely durable. Even better, it becomes softer and more supple with each wash.. 

Who's it for? 

Sensitive skin, lovers of light, flowing linen, sleepers who want to keep their sheets for years. 

Little plus: its crumpled effect means no ironing!

Cotton gauze 

Contrary to what you might think, cotton gauze is not a material but a specific weave: the cotton threads are twisted, spaced and woven together. embossed to create an incredibly vaporous, almost transparent appearance. Our double-layered gauze combines 2 layers together at regular intervals to retain lightness but offer the comfort of extra thickness.

Why choose cotton gauze?

This airy weave gives sheets softness and suppleness. They are delicate and breathable. Capable of absorbing moisture and dry very quickly, gauze is ideal for warm summer nights. This weave is reminiscent of children's swaddling clothes, bringing back sweet memories. 

Who's it for? 

Sleepers who want to wrap themselves in softness, and those who prefer to avoid the sensation of stifling heat. 
Plus: its natural waffle effect. 
 

Cotton satin 

Washed cotton satin is also the result of a special weave: an interweaving of threads that creates a shiny effect on the front and a subtle matte effect on the back. 

Why choose cotton satin?

This tight weave of fine cotton threads gives sheets a particularly soft feel and a capacity to retain warmth on long winter nights. Cotton sateen's silky aspect gives it a luxurious appearance, while its slightly heavier fall promises hotel-like comfort. Washing patinates its initial shine to give it a more subtle, old-fashioned look. 

Who's it for? 

Sleepers looking for 3-star comfort, those who tend to get cold at night, the most demanding. 

Its little plus: won't crease hair or skin, and won't slide off the bed.
