Buying guide
Weave
Lawn and percale are crisp and cool; sateen is smooth and warm; brushed flannelette is fuzzy and winter-ready.
Organic vs conventional
GOTS-certified organic cotton avoids harsh dyes and is best for sensitive skin.
Care
Wash cold and tumble low. Brushed cotton softens with each wash; sateen needs gentler care to retain sheen.
