Towels

Towels are the hardest working product in the home. With a little knowledge, your new towels will look, last and perform better. Towels can add style to a practical part of the house, having more than one colour or design in the linen cupboard means you can change the look in your bathroom quickly and without too much expense.

Sheets

We spend a third of our lives between the sheets, so it’s worth making a difference to the comfort of our slumber. Crisp or silky smooth, instant warmth or lingering coolness; everyone has a different idea of comfort.

Duvet Covers

Duvet covers are essentially a ‘protector’ for your duvet inner. Duvet inners need to be protected from the environment, dirt, natural oils, the family pet and other allergy causing irritants. Plus a cover is much easier to launder than the inner. There are a number of factors that determine the retail price of a duvet cover, the brand, the fabric, what it is made of, thread count and weight, design, style and embellishment. The more work and processes involved in the design the higher the price will be.

Mattress & Pillow Protectors

Often overlooked, mattress and pillow protectors are an essential element to a comfortable sleeping environment. Not only protecting your mattress and pillows from dirt, dust and allergy causing irritants, they add an extra layer of comfort and keep sheets and pillowcases from moving around.
