Feel the fabric.
Understand the details.

Use this guide to prepare your bedding brief and ask useful questions during sample review.

A buyer’s fabric guide

Quality is in the details.

A fabric is more than its thread count. Look at the material, construction, feel and finish together.

Fibre & blend

Agree the composition for your intended use.

Weave & construction

Compare texture, drape and the desired feel.

Weight & density

Discuss fabric weight and thread count in context.

Stitching & dimensions

Review the edges, seams and required measurements.

Shade consistency

Approve a reference colour before production.

Wash behaviour

Discuss care, shrinkage and colourfastness requirements.

01

Start with the intended use

Tell us where the bedding will be used, the feel you want and how it will be washed. These requirements help frame the fabric and finishing discussion.

02

Look at composition and construction together

Ask about the fibre or blend, weave and fabric weight. Compare the actual sample for softness, surface, drape and opacity rather than judging by a single number.

03

Put thread count in context

Thread count describes the number of threads in a given area of woven fabric. It is one specification, alongside the yarn, fibre, weave and finishing; it should not be treated as a complete quality grade.

04

Agree dimensions and finish

Provide the measurements you require, including the unit. Review hems, seams and pillow-cover closure details on the sample, and agree any sizing allowances before production.

05

Approve a physical shade reference

Screen colours and lighting can change how a shade appears. Review and approve the actual fabric sample as the colour reference for your order.

06

Discuss care and wash expectations

Share your intended wash process and any requirements for dimensional change or colourfastness. Agree the relevant sample checks and care guidance rather than assuming universal performance.

Our visuals help communicate a design direction. Your approved sample and agreed specification define the order.

No universal thread count, fabric weight or performance promise applies to every enquiry.

Sample review checklist

The small details deserve a closer look.

Final fabric, shade and specifications are agreed through sample review.
