When selecting bed linen, we suggest opting for white cotton with a minimum thread count of 200 (400 or higher is preferable). This allows for easy bleaching of any stains from guests if necessary. Additionally, when choosing duvet covers, consider purchasing one size smaller than your duvet for a fluffier appearance. We recommend a minimum of 3 sets per bed to allow for easy changeovers.
The same applies to towels—stick to white only. Bath sheets are essential, as are hand towels, while medium towels can be a nice addition.
