FAQs
- What are the best white sheets to buy?
- The best white sheets are made from high-quality materials like long-staple cotton, flax linen or bamboo lyocell which carry the OEKO-TEX or GOTS certifications. These establish that they are manufectured sustainably and with the highest safety standards in mind. Rise & Fall’s white bed sheets tick all these boxes - crafted from premium, certified fabrics, they come in linen, percale or sateen weaves with deep-pocket fits and hotel-quality softness.
- Are white bed sheets a good idea?
- Yes, white sheets are timeless, versatile and easy to clean. They give a fresh, hotel-look that's pairs well with any bedroom décor.
- How do hotels get their sheets so white?
- Hotels use high-quality white cotton sheets, typically cotton sateen. They achieve that crisp, bright-white look by washing the sheets in hot water with powerful detergents, stain removers and optical brighteners that enhance whiteness. White bed sheets are also washed frequently which helps to prevent long-term build-up of body oils and discoloration. Some even use mild bleach or hydrogen peroxide cycles. At home, you can mimic this by putting your sheets in the wash every week. Use hot water (40 degress), non-chlorine brighteners and avoiding fabric softeners which can dull whites over time.
