Cotton sheets
Cotton is the most well-known material for bedding items like pillow covers, bed sheets, and comforters. Long stapled, Egyptian cotton is considered fine for bedding products.

The cotton bed sheets come in percale weave and sateen weave and each type has its own pros and cons. It depends on your personal requirements that whether you will go for comfort, crisp or luxurious beddings.
Linen sheets
Linen sheets are heavier, thicker and comfortable. The thread count in these sheets is not much higher as it is in cotton sheets. A thread count of 200 is considered quality bed sheet. These bed sheets last for years if kept with proper care. These are wrinkle-free, comfortable, fine in color and designing.
Flannel sheets
These sheets are manufactured with a variant of cotton. They are comfortable, softer and give heat so people like to have them in winter. The quality of these bed sheets is measured in grams per square inch rather than thread count. You can enjoy quality flannel bed sheets for years.
