We don't just buy our sheets, we build them. Beginning by hand picking the purest cotton fibres to finely combing and spinning the yarn in the finest spinning facilities to our required specifications. We select the weaving machines to weave our fabrics and the processors to dye them – always ensuring that your sheets serve you for years and leave you with the unique fresh experience that only cotton can provide, each time you go to bed. This exclusive collection of genuine 1000 thread count bed linen is created using single ply (40s) super combed yarn, woven in a plain Sateen weave. It's for those who prefer pure crisp cotton bedding. In a single square inch, one thousand yarns are woven to create the most luxurious bedding available to the standards of top five-star hotels. When compared with sheets made with twisted yarns (as most are), Homescapes' durable single ply will last much longer and becomes even softer with every wash. Homescapes developed this affordable but high-quality range in 2008, one of our most popular ranges, now available in six colours.

Product Information
Full details
This Homescapes Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover and Pillowcase set in Cream is designed for individuals seeking luxurious, hotel-quality bedding at home. Its key benefit is the exceptional softness and durability derived from high-quality, single-ply Egyptian cotton and a 1000 thread count sateen weave, promising a fresh experience with every use. A potential consideration is that while it becomes softer with washing, initial crispness may be preferred by some users who typically opt for lower thread counts.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton?
A 1000 thread count combined with Egyptian cotton provides exceptional softness, durability, and a luxurious, smooth feel. It indicates a high density of yarns, contributing to a premium bedding experience.
Why does Homescapes emphasize 'single ply' yarn?
Single ply yarn means each thread is made from one continuous strand, making it stronger and more durable than 'two-ply' yarns (which are made by twisting two strands together). This prevents premature wear and tear and contributes to the fabric becoming softer over time.
How do I care for my 1000 TC duvet cover to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 40°C, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on medium. It's best to wash with similar colours and avoid bleach to preserve the fabric and colour.
Will the fabric remain soft after washing?
Yes, high-quality Egyptian cotton, especially with single-ply yarns, is known to become even softer and more comfortable with each wash when cared for properly.
Is this duvet cover suitable for all seasons?
Egyptian cotton is naturally breathable and has moisture-wicking properties, making it comfortable for use year-round. It will feel cool in the summer and retain warmth in the winter.
What is a 'sateen' weave?
A sateen weave uses a specific structure where warp threads are floated over weft threads, creating a smooth, lustrous surface with a subtle sheen. It's known for its silky feel and drape.
What size are the included pillowcases?
The product description specifies a duvet cover and pillowcase set. Typically, Super King sets include one large duvet cover and two standard UK Super King pillowcases. Please refer to the specific product packaging for exact dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Duvet cover feels stiff initially
This is normal for high-quality, tightly woven cotton. Wash the duvet cover before first use according to care instructions; it will soften significantly with each subsequent wash.
Pilling after washing
Ensure you are using the correct wash cycle (gentle or cotton) and avoid washing with abrasive materials like jeans or towels. Also, check that your washing machine is not overloaded.
Colour fading
Wash the duvet cover inside out and use a detergent free of optical brightening agents. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Duvet doesn't fit snugly
Confirm that both the duvet and the cover are indeed Super King size (260 x 220 cm). Ensure the duvet is properly positioned within the cover and all corners are aligned.
