I upgraded my bed about five years ago to a luxury king size and have never looked back. My favourite sheet and doona cover set is a rich purple Moss River combo, 1000 thread count cotton. High thread count is critical, although always feel the texture as well, because some high thread counts become thick. You want your sheets to be soft and luxurious. I only do pure cotton or bamboo.

Mine are 1000 thread count Indian cotton. And they're sensational. In general, the higher the thread count the 'better' the quality. Personally not a fan of silk sheets at all. Enjoy your new bed OP!

Do a bit of research, I read something recently which said that past a certain thread count you're not getting any increase in quality or feel so you're basically paying more for nothing. I can't remember what the cut off thread count was but I think maybe around 1000 or so. I actually bought some pretty cheap microfibre sheets from ebay that I've ended up liking more than my high thread count Egyptian cotton ones. They're so soft. Whichever way you go I'd suggest checking out ebay, you can often pick up really good deals on sheets there. Just make sure you're buying from a reputable seller.

If you have a pillow top mattress that the fitted sheet is made to go the extra thickness. Nothing worse mid play and the sheet comes adrift and you are lost in a sea of cotton......

Best you spend a bit on good bedding and linen. On my bed I have bamboo linen sheets. At first I despised them as they had a weird feel and smell. After a few washes, they are freaking divine. I love them! That's all I use now. Also invest in a couple of throw and European pillows. Just adds that little extra touch for the ladies. Enjoy your bed, cause I do mine. Ms Foxy

The maximum thread count, Peter Reed fine Egyptian cotton percale in summer , and Leitner linen in winter. Luxurious natural fabrics are the way to go - Posted from rhpmobile

Just so happens I've invested in a king size bed today with big wooden bed posts with wooden slates for the rope to tie onto. Can't wait to get it home. 😉😈 Agree with Annie as i also bought a pillow top mattress. Wicked score as the mattress was $ 2.5 k and got it on special. Think I might add a few pic's once it's up. - Posted from rhpmobile

Your room needs to be clean and inviting too. Things like the environment, smell etc also add extra ticks to the boxes. Clean bedding is a must every time. I seriously doubt any woman wants to be in someone's bed that smells like another woman, cum stained or dirty weeks old bedding, especially for a first time. I know I don't, it turns me off. Ms Foxy

Must have...2 waterproof liner. And a minimum of 1 extra set so you can change after some messy sex. I have cotton and bamboo sheets which I love. And extra pillows. I know some people need just one but I am greedy I have 6 on my ned and use 3. Maybe for pillow forts and pillow fights

You deserve to spoil yourself.....and what a better way than a new bed and sheets!!! Personally I love 1000 thread Egyptian cotton sheets and Doona cover and of course 4 big pillows. Even bought Mr P a set for when sleeping over in his king size bed It was great fun matching up a few contrasting colour sets with a white goose feather doona..I love light airy colours for summer and a luxury silver/ivory for winter. Enjoy your new bedding......whatever you choose!

Geese don't naturally moult enough feathers to meet the demand for pillows and Doona fillings, so they are literally plucked bald whilst they are alive, and then put back into the cold regrow their feathers :-( The soft and fluffy downey feathers come from young goslings, once again plucked bald. A Goose down Quilt might sound romantic but the noise in the background is a real passion killer ! Think about little spring lambs frollicking in lush green meadows, and go for the lambs wool fillers :-) That humming in the background, is it a vibrator or the shearers clippers ???

Found an article on the style at home website, it says this about thread count: Simply put, thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. This number is based on the threads woven horizontally ("weft") and vertically ("warp"). Extra threads can also be woven into the weft threads to increase the thread count. These added threads are called "picks" and are added in the overall count, which is how some sheets end up having thread counts in the thousands. This is why the idea that high counts equal better quality isn't really accurate. Consider this: Joanna says most weavers will say the maximum number of threads that can be woven into one square inch of fabric is 500 to 600. Though the number is arguable and, according to Joanna, "depends on the mill you deal with," it gives you an idea of where the line is between single-ply, unpicked weaves and ones that add threads here and there to bump up the count. Joanna lists three things to look for on the label: if it's Egyptian cotton, where it's woven and, lastly, the thread count. While thread count is a bit misunderstood, the buzz around Egyptian cotton is true. "The very best cotton in the world is grown in Egypt. So Egyptian cotton will be of a better quality," Joanna says. She also recommends pima cotton, which is grown in America, "though not quite as exceptional as Egyptian." When it comes to weaving, however, she swears by the Italians as being the "master weavers of the world" due to their "long tradition of weaving" and use of the best Egyptian cotton. Be sure the label says 100% or pure Egyptian cotton though, otherwise it may only contain a small percentage of the good stuff. As for the thread count, look for a minimum of 200. From there, it's all about preference!

Quoting 'boobs_or_bust' Micro fibre sheets ,tell us more please - Posted from rhpmobile From the internet(Austin Linen Service, basically the first site that came up when I googled): Microfiber is composed of very finely woven fibers, defined by their thickness, or denier, which is the measurement of a fiber’s thickness. A high denier points to a material of higher thickness, a low denier is one of lower thickness. For a material to be considered microfiber, it must be less than 1 denier in diameter. For comparison, consider that fine silk measures at 1.25 deniers; thus, microfibers are made in the lab instead of forming naturally in nature. They can be made from wood pulp, or polyester and nylon polymers. Microfiber sheets are very thin, but are strong and exceptionally smooth and comfortable. There's a fair bit of info on the internet about them including comparisons with cotton sheets, pros and cons, and people's opinions on them. Some love them and some hate them, I think some are put off by the fact that they aren't 'natural' but that doesn't bother me. As that site says they come in different thicknesses, with some being very thin and apparently having a slippery feeling but the thicker ones being very soft and plush in feeling, which is how mine are. Also seems to be quite a variation in quality, as with most things, so you would want to make sure you're getting good quality ones. Probably the only drawback I've found is that because they are a bit thicker they are a bit hot in summer, but since I use the air conditioner in the hot months it's not really much of an issue. I would suggest doing a bit of research on them if you're interested in trying them. I did try to find the listing for the ones I bought but didn't have any luck but there are a lot of listings you can check out. I would suppose some of the brick and mortar stores also sell them but have no idea how they would compare in price etc.

When you consider we spend a third of our lives on them - and a huge amount of play parties - it's worth investing in. We prefer 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. A mix of Goose feather pillows and fluffy pillows are the best - the former for sleeping, the later because they give great lift under the pelvis or neck while having fun 👍😘 - Posted from rhpmobile

Indeed, it's important to have a luxurious bed, we feel. Believe it or not, we have never shared our bed with anyone else. It's our private "sanctuary" reserved just for us. This makes it even more special. PS: Did we meet you at a Minx social in Chapel Street ? - Posted from rhpmobile

...in theory, perhaps? However if they wake up when the cock crows and don't try to milk a bull? Hell, I can cook and happy to head back into the house for a more ''formal dining experience''. I might even make breakfast! Best..... CM

would be natural Flax linen (stonewashed if you like softer) instead of cotton, silk or any other fabric. If you choose to go with cotton than Egiptian, 100% cotton and 900+ threads. I have read bamboo is done through a heavy chemical process that makes them unhealthy to sleep on. The term "Linens" can colloquially refer to any household good, but this should not be confused with linen fabric. It is thicker than cotton and linen fibers are very long, which gives it strength and longevity. Linen lasts a very very long time. It also has the natural ability to prevent bacterial growth. Linen fibers are hollow, moving air and moisture naturally. Linen is also a natural insulator and keeps you cool in the summer months and warm in colder weather. My linen loves me. Choose well and your linen is going to love you :) I agree Ms Dragon, it's great to be a geek! (Ms)
