Bed linen is not just a woman’s matter! Some of you will probably be offended by this sentence… Yet this is the approach some brands and press agencies choose when they contact us to discuss the subject!
So, since indeed, wanting to sleep in beautiful sheets isn’t a matter of gender, it was high time to talk about it on Masculin.com! While January is historically the “white month”, here are some tips for choosing the right products. As well as a selection of our favourite bed linen brands at the moment.
Basic tips for choosing your bed linen correctly
First of all, let’s recall that this general term of bed linen includes both fitted or flat sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases that can dress up your bed with style. And if the size is obviously the first criteria to consider (140×190 for an old fashioned 2 persons bed, 200×200 for the lucky ones who have a king size), here are a few other elements not to overlook.
Fabric Quality
The first criterion to consider is undoubtedly the quality of the fabric. Cotton remains a reliable choice for its comfort and ease of maintenance. For an even softer and luxurious touch, turn to cotton satin. If you are looking for an eco-friendly alternative, linen is an excellent option, renowned for its durability and its ability to regulate temperature.
Weaving and density
The weaving and the thread density are also important. A high number of threads per square inch ensures better quality and greater softness. For instance, percale weaving offers a matte and resistant finish, while satin weaving brings a touch of shine and fluidity.
Style and Colors
The choice of style and colors is very personal but can greatly influence the atmosphere of your room. Neutral hues and minimalist patterns contribute to a calming ambiance, while bright colors or bold prints can energize the space. Consider matching your bed linens with your room’s decor for a harmonious result.

Of course, you can find bed sets in many stores such as Ikea or Zara Home, or even in large supermarkets… This proves that the subject is of increasing interest to both men and women, with brands such as Le Slip Français and the Gentle Factory recently collaborating with industry specialists.
