What’s the best bed sheet material for me?
Every sleeper is different. Some prefer a light, airy sheet that keeps them cool, while others like something more substantial and smooth. That’s why we offer a range of breathable, natural cotton weaves. Each is crafted for comfort, allowing you to find the best match for your sleeping needs. Egyptian Cotton Sateen - Lightweight, breathable, and gently structured with a smooth finish. Ideal for all-season comfort and a more elevated feel. Egyptian Cotton Percale - Crisp, cool, and matte with a lightweight handfeel. A breathable option for those who prefer a relaxed, classic sheet. Organic Cotton Percale - Cool and crisp with a matte finish and light structure. Woven from organic cotton for a cleaner, more natural sleep. Cotton Sateen - Smooth, soft, and breathable with a lustrous feel. Thread counts determine the fabric's weight and texture, which can fluctuate from lightweight to midweight to thick.
What is thread count, and does it matter?
Thread count measures the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. The fineness of the yarns and the tightness of the weave influence the sheet’s weight, texture, and breathability. A higher thread count often indicates a smoother, more luxurious texture, while a lower thread count can offer a lighter, more breathable feel. That said, thread count is just one part of the equation.The quality of the cotton, the weave type, and the natural fiber content are equally important in creating premium bedding. At California Design Den, we offer a wide range of thread counts crafted with the finest cotton, so you can find the perfect balance of softness, durability, and performance to match your sleep style.
How deep are your fitted sheets?
Our fitted sheets are thoughtfully designed to provide a snug and secure fit for most mattresses. They feature deep pockets ranging from 15 to 16 inches, ensuring they stay in place all night long. For our Natural Comfort Organic Cotton fitted sheets, the pockets are slightly shallower, measuring 14 to 15 inches deep. Thanks to the all-around elastic that wraps securely around the edges, our fitted sheets can accommodate mattresses as shallow as 8 inches and up to their maximum pocket depth. Depending on the sheet type, we use either a 12 MM elastic for a classic fit or an 18 MM gripper band for extra hold, ensuring a smooth and snug fit every time.
Do cotton sheets wrinkle?
Yes, natural cotton sheets can wrinkle, especially when they’re brand new. Wrinkles are a sign that the fibers are 100% natural. They are free from harmful synthetics or chemical treatments often used to create a smoother appearance. To minimize wrinkles, wash your sheets separately, allowing plenty of space in the washer and dryer. Remove the sheets from the dryer promptly to prevent creases from setting. For a crisp, freshly-made look, smooth them out with a warm iron. Over time, as you wash and use them, the wrinkles will soften, and your sheets will become even cozier. Learn more care guide tips.
What do your certifications mean?
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is a globally recognized safety standard for textiles. Our sheets are tested from thread to fabric to ensure they’re safe for you and easier on the environment. Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading worldwide standard for organic textiles. It verifies that every stage of production, from harvest to final product, meets rigorous environmental and social responsibility requirements. Cotton Egypt Association (CEA) protects the integrity of Egyptian cotton through advanced DNA testing. Cotton grown in the Nile River Valley that meets these standards is awarded the Gold Seal of authenticity. Thread Count Testing is achieved by partnering with Intertek, one of the world’s largest independent testing agencies, which verifies that each thread count advertised is accurate. California Design Den conducts annual thread count testing to ensure accuracy and maintain the highest quality standards.
How long do bed sheets typically last?
With regular use, quality bed sheets typically last 4 - 5 years and become softer and more comfortable with every wash. Their durability depends on factors like usage, proper care, and regular rotation between sets. To extend their lifespan and keep them looking and feeling their best, we recommend following the care label instructions, rotating between multiple sets, and avoiding harsh detergents.
How much should I spend on quality sheets?
At California Design Den, we design and manufacture our own bedding, allowing us to offer premium fabrics without the premium markup. Our sheets are made from breathable, natural cotton with single-ply threads for durability and softness. They’re also OEKO-TEX® certified and meet additional quality standards, so you can enjoy better sleep and better fabrics at an even better price. The cost of quality sheets can vary depending on factors like material, weave, size and certifications. While some premium options can cost hundreds of dollars, we offer a wide range of prices to suit different budgets and sleep preferences. Rather than focusing solely on price, we recommend paying attention to details like fiber quality, thread count and trusted certifications to find the perfect sheets for your needs.
