Selection criteria
To choose the best set of bed linen, you need to know the criteria that will help you do this.
- Quality. Regardless of the brand, check the quality of the textiles yourself.
- Sewing. When buying, check for snags, protruding threads, diverging zippers and other sewing defects.
- Size. The product must fit the size of the bed and the dimensions of its owner.
- Fabric. This criterion primarily affects quality and tactile sensations.
More details about the last two criteria.
More about size
The size of the bed linen is important for any age category. If the parameters are chosen incorrectly, it will slip off, or, on the contrary, it will be too small.
According to the parameters of the bed, there are several categories with specific measurements.

It is worth noting that sometimes the measurements do not correspond to the sizes indicated on the packaging. In this case, the seller is obliged to make a replacement or return the money for the purchase.
Selecting good fabric
This is the most important criterion that is worth paying attention to. It affects the quality of the product. And its choice, in turn, depends on the personal preferences of the owner, since there are several options that will be a good basis for production.
Let's divide the available varieties into two groups: natural and artificial. Let's start with the first one, which includes several materials.
- Calico: has high strength and practicality. It is made by tightly interlacing threads, due to which it has a long service life. The only drawback is the rough surface. Although there are fans who do not consider this fact a drawback.
Calico is a durable cotton fabric of varying density, plain weave - Satin: another popular material. Meets all the strength parameters, and also has a pleasant to the touch front surface. The back is somewhat rough. Compared to the previous option, it is less practical, but the service life is also quite high.
Satin is a shiny natural fabric made from cotton. - Poplin: has a slight shine, increased density, pleasant to the touch. Similar in appearance and characteristics to calico, but softer. An excellent option for every day.
Poplin is a cotton fabric that is produced by alternately intersecting thin vertical threads and thick longitudinal threads with each other. - Chintz: thanks to a special method of interlacing the threads, it has a loose texture and an airy appearance. This is a budget option, so its service life is somewhat shorter. However, chintz is a decent material with good quality and practicality.
Chintz is a cheap cotton fabric of the most basic, plain weave. - Cotton batiste. Belongs to the category of materials used for the production of elite bed linen. It has a soft surface, is quite thin and light. It has a beautiful appearance. The only drawback is its insufficient strength.
Hypoallergenic thin batiste fabric captivates with its lightness and fine texture - Percale: made from long-fiber cotton and coated with a special protective adhesive layer. Due to this, the material is very durable, has a velvety surface, is breathable, and hypoallergenic.
Percale is a special type of cotton with a plain weave; for greater smoothness and strength, the threads are treated with a special compound. - Knitwear: a great option for any age category. This is a natural material made from 100% cotton. Soft, wear-resistant, does not shrink after washing, has a long service life.
Lightweight elastic Jersey is perfect for bedding sets - Linen: has high air permeability, retains heat well, does not shrink, is environmentally friendly. The only drawback is the rough surface (rougher than calico). However, linen will soften with use.
Linen fabrics are made from completely natural raw materials. - Natural silk. A great choice for an elite set. Disadvantages: high cost and short life. However, if all the criteria for proper care are met, it will last quite a long time.
Natural silk does not stretch, does not shrink and has a pleasant shine that shimmers in the sun in different shades. - Satin: a good alternative to the previous option. The appearance is somewhat similar to silk, but has less shine. Satin is harder, has only one glossy side. However, due to its rigidity, it has a longer service life.
Satin is characterized by an even silky shine, it is distinguished by its high density and durability.
The next category is artificial materials. They are based on fibers obtained from petroleum products. Due to this, they practically do not wrinkle, do not dye, do not shrink, are universal and practical. Artificial materials have a wider color spectrum, as they are dyed with special paints. Good artificial fabrics suitable for sewing bed linen are the following.
- Artificial silk. It has higher strength indicators than natural silk. It is made using natural and artificial threads. Due to this, it has a wonderful shiny appearance, practically indistinguishable from natural silk.
Artificial silk fabric is a beautiful, worthy, high-quality replacement for natural fabric. - Microfiber: hygroscopic, durable, has increased wear resistance, does not lose shape after repeated washing. Has a soft surface.
Microfiber is a synthetic fiber made from finely woven fibers - Other blended options. The definition of "blended" shows that artificial fibers were used together with natural ones to produce the fabrics. Polycotton, jacquard and modal are worth highlighting from this category. They have good wear resistance, are practical, easy to use and maintain. They differ in texture, design and tactile sensations.
Polycotton is a durable, long-lasting fabric that is inferior to cotton in terms of hygroscopicity and breathability. Jacquard is a fabric that recreates the ornamentation and texture of tapestries, created industrially
Now there are many good fabrics in the arsenal. Next – about bed linen manufacturers.
Let's divide the manufacturers into categories
In order to judge correctly and be able to choose a good product, we will divide the best manufacturers into several categories. So choose the aspect of interest and find a good supplier.
Top manufacturers of elite sets
Let's start with luxury. Elite textiles are purchased for special occasions or as gifts. This category includes the best manufacturers who use only high-quality materials and have a good reputation in the consumer market.
The top of elite textiles is headed by the Estia company. A Russian brand that produces quality products that are not inferior to foreign analogues. The range of products is mainly made of Egyptian cotton and jacquard. The cut is top-notch. The models have a variety of elegant designs, some are decorated with hand embroidery or lace.
Another brand that is not inferior in position is Togas. The trademark offers 3,000 items of various fabrics, sizes and designs. The company mainly uses thin soft materials. For this reason, their products require special care and gentle operation.
The best of the budget options
Not everyone can afford elite-class underwear. Textiles of average cost are more popular. Please note that “budget” does not mean cheap. This definition applies to goods that fit the available budget. By the way, we do not recommend buying cheap textiles: such textiles quickly become unusable, and in the end you have to buy several sets, which is more expensive.
Among the worthy budget options, we highlight three manufacturers.
- Mona Liza. The underwear of this product is of high quality within this segment (budget). Both artificial and natural fabrics are used for sewing. The company provides a wide range of products of various designs. Due to the budget, the products lose their color brightness over time.

The manufacturer presents several lines: "Childhood", "Classic", "Panel 3D" and others, each of which has many models available. Here we have a large selection of goods, good fabrics in the base and compliance of products with the Russian GOST. Disadvantages are represented by the presence of sloppy seams and discrepancies in sizes.
Percale bed linen set “Mint breath” from the manufacturer “Cotton paradise” - ArtPostel. It offers a wide range of products, including products made from different fabrics and for all ages. It also attracts with a large number of different designs. Among the disadvantages, we highlight the rapid fading of fabrics and their short life.

Disadvantages are within the limits inherent in all cotton fabrics: fades over time, sheds after washing, wrinkles easily.

A well-known Chinese brand of bed linen is Valery. The company offers good quality products at a fairly low price. Compared to Russian manufacturers, this one is not inferior, but has its drawbacks. Among the latter are the formation of pellets and fading.
Special attention to children's bedding
The brands listed above have bedding lines for children. But if you trust a company that specializes in this category, pay attention to the following companies:
