Luxury Bed Linens

What are the most luxurious bed linens?

The most luxurious bed linens are defined by the quality of their raw materials and the precision of their weave. At Frette, we consider extra-long staple (ELS) fibres to be the pinnacle of luxury. These materials offer an inimitable softness, a sophisticated drape, and exceptional breathability that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Every Frette fabric is crafted in Italy and passed through our patented finishing process, perfected since 1903, resulting in a smooth, luxurious finish you can see and feel.

How does thread count affect the quality of bed sheets?

Thread count measures the number of threads per square inch of fabric. As a general rule, a higher thread count indicates softer, more luxurious sheets. While the standard thread count for sheets is between 300 and 500, Frette elevates the experience with bed linens ranging from 600 to 1,000 thread count.

What’s more, Frette’s high-quality fibre (staple length) and finishing processes take luxury to the next level. The staple length refers to the physical length of individual cotton fibres. Frette sources long-staple fibres to create a smoother, stronger yarn that resists pilling and feels silkier against the skin. The finishing process involves artisanal Italian techniques, like merceization and singeing, to remove microscopic fuzz and enhance the fabric’s natural lustre, durability, and softness.

What are the essential components of a bed linen set?

A standard bed linen set is designed to create a cohesive look and feel, and typically includes:

· A fitted bottom sheet
· A flat, top sheet
· Pillow cases
· A luxury duvet cover

What linen sizes are available?

Frette offers a comprehensive range of sizes to suit international standards, including Twin, Queen, King, and California King bedding.

How do you care for luxury bedding?

To ensure the longevity of your Frette linens, follow these care guidelines:

1. Wash with cold water and a mild liquid detergent; avoid bleach, whiteners, or powdered detergents.
2. Machine dry on low to medium heat and remove while still slightly damp to prevent wrinkling.
3. Iron cotton and linen while damp for a “hotel crisp” look and feel.
4. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; avoid plastic bags as natural fibres need to breathe to preserve color.
