Material and Construction
Silk & Snow uses 100% certified long-staple Egyptian cotton, certified by the Cotton Egypt Association for it’s high quality and ethical labour standards. The cotton then travels to Portugal, where Silk & Snow partners with family-run businesses to spin the cotton into threads, dye the threads, and cut and sew each piece together. Silk & Snow works closely with these partners to eliminate as much environmental waste and emissions as possible.
These sheets use a sateen weave, which is a term used to describe a special weaving technique where threads are woven in a 3-over-1 pattern. This allows for breathability while also providing an incredibly soft texture and slight sheen.

Thread Count
It is a myth that thread count is an indicator of quality. Thread count measures fabric density, and indicates the number of threads within one square inch. Too high a thread count means that air doesn’t pass through the fabric easily, causing a hotter sleeping environment. Silk & Snow’s Egyptian Cotton sheets are a 300 thread count – exactly where you’d want a sateen sheet to be. This ensures it’s light enough to keep you cool and move easily, but provides the optimal density for comfort.

Care and Cleaning
Silk & Snow’s Egyptian cotton is easy to care for. The bedding is machine washable and is recommended on a cold normal cycle with like colours only. Tumble dry low and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles. Using wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets will also extend the lifespan of your sheet set.
To make sheets last longer, experts recommend washing them every 2 weeks and alternating with 1-2 other sets. Avoid getting into bed directly after completing a skincare routine or with wet hair, as some beauty, scalp, and skin products may have harsh chemicals that result in peeling or discolouration.
