How to differentiate the different qualities of bed linen?

Gone are the days when 57 thread count cotton dominated 90% of the bedding market. From now on, many qualities of cotton, with unique weaves, fill our shelves. Here is a small reminder of our qualities:

TRADITIONAL COTTON 57 THREADS

Cotton is a natural, healthy, comfortable and strong material. Cotton is, by far, the most used raw material by our production unit, thanks to its resistance in time, but also to the multiple ways of working it. We start our "first quality" with a 57 thread cotton, the famous old fashioned cotton. This quality is a basic, timeless.

80 THREAD COUNT COTTON PERCALE BED LINEN

Always from a high quality raw material, woven with very fine and long cotton fibers, the percale is distinguished by its very soft touch and its ease of maintenance. Often accompanied by an Easy-Care treatment, the reputation for easy ironing is well established. The cotton percale provides sheets with a particularly smooth touch that offers a sensation of freshness. Sure value. 

120 THREAD COUNT COTTON SATIN BEN LINEN

The 120 thread cotton satin is made from a cotton of even higher quality, because the fibers that allow the weaving are even finer. Satin is a soft and silky material that gives an exceptional touch. Indescribable softness and well-being guaranteed! Also very easy to live with, satin reduces the effect of wrinkling in the wash and can be ironed without difficulty. 

240 THREAD COUNT COTTON SATIN BED LINEN

In the same characteristics as 120 thread count sateen, 240 thread count cotton sateen is simply bed linen splendor. It offers an impeccable quality and hold to your bed linen. The number of threads is twice as high as 120 thread count cotton sateen, so you will feel a distinct difference in the touch, with a thicker fabric that is still as soft as ever, with an exceptional consistency. 

OTHER LUXURY FABRICS

Flannel

Flannel is a cotton fabric which, after scratching, offers a fluffy effect to the touch. It is the perfect solution to warm up in winter.

Washed linen

Linen, this famous natural material with exceptional properties, is considered the ultimate in quality. Originally rather rough, linen is now pre-washed several times to give it a softness and incomparable comfort from the first moments. With its crumpled appearance, the washed linen bedding is now the must-have for a bedroom that wants to be IN. Fantastic thermoregulation, no more excessive sweating problems! We love it!

Percale 160 thread

The 160 thread count cotton percale is simply a quality of Exception developed for our most chic and elegant models. This quality completes our collection of irreproachable bed linen, both by the softness and comfort it provides, but also thanks to the finishing touches brought to these high quality fabrics. Jour echelle, embroidery, full bumblebee permanently embellish our collections.

Polycotton percale

Polycotton percale is a blend of 50% combed cotton and 50% polyester which makes this bedding the intimate friend of hotel establishments. Why? Both soft and pleasant to the touch, this bedding is distinguished by its strength and its ability to accumulate intensive washing. It also has the huge advantage of being hardly creased, unlike 100% cotton bed linen.

Metis

Mesh is the mixture of cotton and linen. It has the advantage of presenting properties close to pure linen, namely comfort and exceptional thermoregulation, while keeping a cotton base which makes it more pleasant to the touch and especially less expensive. Good compromise!

 

QUALITY IS NOT ONLY MEASURED BY THE PRODUCT!

Yes, because Essix relies on the know-how of its workshop located in the North of France, born in 1965. In 2000, our young brand joined the Vanderschooten group, a family business, 3 generations old in the history of French household linen!

Buying bed linen "made in France" is part of a global approach of proximity while preserving our jobs. Thus, our bed linen sets are designed and manufactured in the Hauts de France, in our workshop in Nieppe near Lille. They meet strict specifications for total transparency: from the traceability of raw materials, through design, to marketing. It's a whole local industry that starts to reduce our environmental impact and preserve the planet and its resources.

Especially since at Essix, we focus on style. We believe that interior design deserves the same attention as that given to ready-to-wear. Just as you would choose an outfit to set the tone of your day, play with color and pattern combinations, according to the season and your mood!
