So smooth

Our bed feels silky smooth and looks luxurious too. The duvet cover with its edge detail makes it appear much larger than it is, giving a sumptuous appearance. The sheet fits our deep mattress perfectly and doesn’t need readjusting each morning. We’re delighted and have just ordered another set.

Perfect

I read many reviews before deciding to purchase 2 sets of king size bedding. Scooms was consistently highly rated despite not being so well known as other brands. Scooms bedding has exceeded my expectations. It is superb. Thank you very much for creating such beautiful bedding.

Quality feel

The product promised a silky soft feel and didn't disappoint. Met expectations. Not light-weight but relatively easy to handle. Happy with the value for money of the Super-king bundle.

Sateen vs percale

Two different cotton weaves producing two different finishes. Sateen cotton feels silky, dense and indulgent, with a subtle lustre. Percale cotton feels crisp, cool and lighter, with an understated matte look.

Thread count

The number of cotton threads per square inch. 600 TC is the sweet spot for sateen, with the best balance of softness, breathability and durability. High TC can be stiff and heavy, while low TC can be thin and wear through.

White Egyptian cotton bedding on a bed with a summer feel. Scooms

Egyptian cotton is considered superior to other cottons because its longer fibres (extra-long staple cotton) provide greater durability and strength, making Egyptian cotton bedding more resistant to wear. Egyptian cotton is also more breathable than other cottons, can be woven to a higher thread count and becomes softer with age and washing. This higher quality cotton makes Egyptian cotton bedding a luxurious and worthwhile investment.

Look for the Cotton Egypt Association certification mark on the care label or packaging details, like the 'Egyptian Cotton™' logo on Scooms Egyptian cotton fitted sheets. Avoid vague terms like 'Egyptian-style' or 'cotton blend', and be cautious of very cheap prices. Find out more in our Guide to Egyptian cotton.

Always carefully check the washing instructions on your Egyptian cotton bedding. To care for your Scooms Egyptian cotton bedding:

Wash at 30°-40° once before use and then weekly.
(Scooms Egyptian cotton bedding is made slightly oversized to allow for natural washing shrinkage.)
