Your bed is more than just a place to sleep, it’s your comfort zone, a space to unwind, and often the first and last thing you interact with each day.
That is why opting for the perfect bed linen is so important. It impacts your sleep quality, overall comfort, and even room aesthetics.
But with so many fabrics, sizes, and styles, how to select the right one for you?
Let’s simplify it. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the best bed linen, covering fabrics, fits & care tips, and what makes Kapaas Katha’s bed linen truly stand out.
What Exactly Is Bed Linen?
Bed linen includes all the fabric layers you use on your bed: bedsheets, pillow covers, duvet covers, quilts, dohars, and even bedcovers. They serve not just a functional role (protecting your mattress and pillows) but also contribute significantly to your sleeping experience.
While it’s tempting to pick something based on looks or price, comfort, durability, and how the fabric ages over time are just as important. The wrong choice can lead to sheets that fade, or simply don’t fit well.
What to Know Before You Buy Bed Linen?
Different fabrics offer different benefits, and your ideal bed linen material depends on what you value most, whether that’s softness, breathability, ease of care, or eco-consciousness.
Cotton: A Timeless Favorite
Cotton is breathable, naturally soft, and perfect for all seasons. Over time, good-quality cotton only gets better and more comforting.
Kapaas Katha’s bed linen are crafted from sustainably sourced materials, dyed using azo-free colors, and feature exquisite handblock prints. This adds a handcrafted charm to your bedding.

How to Get the Perfect Fit Bed Linen?
One of the most common bedding frustrations? Bed linen that’s too short or too loose.
Tips to avoid that:
-
Measure your mattress.
- Choose what is needed: bedsheet or quilt/comforter or dohar etc.
- Match the size. Kapaas Katha also accommodates custom sizes, just share your mattress dimensions while ordering.
-
Allow for shrinkage: Natural fabrics may shrink a little after washing. A 2–4% allowance is usually safe.
Caring for Your Bed Linen: Simple Tips to Make It Last
Even the best bed linen can wear out if not cared for properly.
Below are five tips to care for your bed linen:
- Stick to the care instructions provided along with your bed linen.
-
Wash gently: Use a mild detergent, cold water, and avoid bleach.
- Dry naturally: Line drying in the shade helps maintain color and fabric strength.
-
Store right: Fold loosely and keep it in a dry, airy space.
-
Rotate sets: Switch between 2–3 sets to extend their life.
Kapaas Katha recommends gentle washing and natural drying to help preserve color, softness, and the handcrafted details in your bedding sets.
