Satin bedding
What the satin range is, and what it is not.
Satin is a weave, not a fibre. It is what gives a fabric the smooth face and the sheen, and it says nothing about what the fabric is made from. Our satin bedding is polyester. It is not silk, and it costs a fraction of what silk costs, which is the whole point of it.
The range used to carry the name "satin silk", and some web addresses still do. The specification on every page tells you what you are actually buying.
What is in the satin range
- Satin bedding set, in black, blue, gold, red or white, in King or Super King, as a four or six piece set
- Satin pillowcase, in nine colours at €29
- Satin pyjama sets, robes and a negligee for men and women, in the women's and men's sections
Satin bedding or silk bedding?
If you want the look and the feel for the least money, satin does that well. It is machine washable.
If you would rather have the natural fibre, buy silk instead. Our mulberry silk flat sheet and 22 momme silk pillowcases are the natural fibre.
Common questions
Is the satin bedding silk?
No. Satin describes the weave and ours is polyester. The range used to be called satin silk, and the specification on each page tells you what it is.
What is in a bedding set?
The four piece and six piece configurations are listed on the product page, which sets out exactly what each one includes.
What sizes do you sell?
King and Super King. There is no single or double in this range.
Will it fit a deep mattress?
Measure your mattress depth before ordering, because depth is what catches people out rather than width. The dimensions are on the product page.
What colours are there?
Black, blue, gold, red and white in the bedding sets, and nine colours in the satin pillowcases.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes, and satin is more forgiving than silk. Warm or cold on a normal cycle, tumble dry on low. Avoid high heat, which is what makes polyester pill over time.
Does it need ironing?
Rarely. It drops most creases as it hangs. If you do iron it, keep the setting cool, because a hot iron scorches polyester and the mark is permanent.
Does it fade?
It can. Prolonged direct sunlight will take the edge off the black and the red, so dry it in the shade.
Will it pill?
It can, where it rubs. Washing cool and drying on low is what prevents it.
Is satin bedding hot to sleep in?
We make no temperature claim for satin or for silk. If you would rather have a natural fibre, the silk range is the other choice.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
We make no claim about skin for the satin range. The surface is smooth, which is the extent of what we will say about it.
Do you sell kids' sizes?
No. The captured version of this page said we did, with flame-resistant options, and neither was true of anything we sell.
How much is delivery?
Free on orders of €75 or more, which every bedding set clears on its own. Below that it is a flat €25.
Can I return it?
Yes, 14 days from delivery to change your mind under EU consumer law, unused and in resaleable condition.
