Cotton sateen and muslin: two fabrics for your favourite bed
The design is the first thing that catches the eye. Whether a set of bed linen becomes a favourite is often decided the moment you run your hand over it for the first time. Some people prefer it completely smooth, whilst others love the slight crinkled texture of muslin. With many of our bed linen sets, you can choose between both fabrics.
Cotton sateen: smooth with a subtle sheen
Cotton sateen has a smooth surface and a subtle sheen. If you like the feel of smooth bed linen, this option is well worth a look. You’ll find it listed as ‘cotton sateen’ in the material selection for our products.
Muslin: the texture is part of its charm
Muslin feels soft and has a visibly crinkled surface. This slight crinkled texture is what gives it its character. It’s a lovely choice if you like fabrics with a relaxed feel and a naturally crinkled look.
Which feels right for you?
Think about the bed linen your child prefers to reach for. Is it the smooth pillowcase or the fabric with a bit of texture? This is often a more helpful guide than a long list of material properties. You can see which fabrics are available for your chosen design directly on the relevant product page.
Check the measurements before ordering
Compare the dimensions of your duvet and pillows with the size options. The fillings that will go inside the covers later on are the key factor. If you’re looking for a matching decorative cushion, it’s also worth checking its material and size details.
And after your first cosy night’s sleep?
Follow the care instructions on the respective item for washing and drying. Keep these to hand, even if you’re ordering several Leslis items together. If anything remains unclear when making your selection, feel free to write to us – ideally including the name of the design and your question.
