Nimbus Duvets and Pillows

Nimbus Duvets

Nimbus have been manufacturing luxury duvets and pillows from their head office in London for over 25 years. They specialise in high end products for the major high street department stores. So what makes their filled products better than the competition? They use only the finest handpicked and ethically sourced natural feathers and down, using sustainable farming procedures from long established European and Chinese companies.

Nimbus also ensures that strict environmental and ecological procedures are used during the bleaching and assembly stages to ensure a natural and breathable product is created without the use of harmful substances. They like to think both their customers and the environment are cared for.

The fillings are very important, Nimbus use a variety of natural and manmade fillings to complete their duvet and pillow ranges. Some are very expensive and luxurious while others are ideal for children with their anti allergy microfiber components. 100% natural fillings generally perform better than man-made fillings, providing greater comfort and longer life. However, they specially engineer their man-man products to ensure that they have an excellent performance compared with the cheaper alternatives.
Pure down traps more air in relation to its weight than do most man-made fillings, so giving you warmth without weight in a duvet. Quality and built-in resiliency, which enables the duvet to drape around your body or bounce back into shape and they also last longer. Lightweight fillings such as goose down can wick moisture away from your body, allowing your skin to breathe and keeping you dry, comfortable and at the right temperature.

Nimbus goose down duvets

Goose feather and down duvets are the entry level of the natural range, they are extremely hard wearing and resilient, goose feathers are very firm and offer levels of support and are ideal for pillows. This is good way of testing if a natural pillow or duvet is good for you without breaking the bank. While pure down fillings are extremely comfortable, light and are excellent at regulating body temperature, they are the best you can buy and are well worth the money. Some of the Nimbus pure down duvets are guaranteed for over 15 years so if you divide the years against the price you will see that they can be an investment as well. Goose down lasts so long that it represents the best possible value for money, how many other products could you buy that you would use for a third of the day, every day, for 40 years?

So if you need to know which TOG you should choose, look at the chart below:

3.0 Tog – for very warm summer weather.
4.5 Tog – for average summer weather and even through the spring and autumn
9.0 Tog – for spring-autumn weather and even through the winter
10.5 Tog – one quilt to use all year round or for spring/autumn/winter use.
12.0 Tog – for use in winter if fairly-well insulated bedrooms.
13.5 Tog – for use in winter in colder bedrooms.
15.0 Tog – the warmest quilt you are likely to need in the coldest of temperatures.

White Cotton Bedding

White Egyptian Cotton Sheets

White Egyptian Cotton Sheets

You would not quite believe it just yet but summer time is nearly here, put away those heavy winter duvets and blankets and get out your cool and crisp luxury bed sheets. White bedding is the most popular shade in the warmer months as it is both bright and goes with just about any other brighter colour, many people use this option to accessorize and liven up the bedroom.

Bedlinen Direct specialise in Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet covers, we stock nearly every size available, single, 4FT, double, king, super king, emperor and the latest European 75cm x 200cm and 90cm x 200cm fitted sheets. The one thing in common with our luxury white bedding ranges is quality and luxury, we believe you deserve the very best things in life and a good night’s sleep is just as important as a fine meal or a luxury holiday. Our bedding ranges are manufactured by some of the finest brand names in the industry, Belledorm, Sheridan and Peter Reed produce the finest designer bedding which are made using the best materials and craftmanship.

We will all want a bit of quality and comfort in life, luxury bedding has a reputation to uphold and the cotton used in our sheets and duvet covers are regarded as being the finest and softest. We have selected the finest grade of Egyptian cotton to use in our white bed linen. A high thread count makes them extremely light and breathable, the fabric is also very absorbent and helps cool the body down during the warmer nights.

White Cotton Duvet Sets

This wicking effect helps make the cotton become softer over time, repeated washing on a gentle cycle helps  the bed linen to become softer. Just imagine sleeping on clean bed sheets tonight, there is nothing finer than freshly laundered sheets and duvet covers, our bedding is made from 100% Genuine cotton from Egypt.

We do not accept imitation bedlinen because if it sounds too good to be true then it probably will be. People find good quality cotton bedding a little stiff at first, this is due to the cotton being more robust and the fact there is more cotton in the threads per square inch than other lesser grades of cotton sheets. They will soften over the first few washes so don’t be put off in the first instance. Lots of cheaper bed linen is coated in silicone or treatments that make them feel wonderful straight out of the packet, this is a short term feel as this will be washed away in the first few months of use. Just think why the best hotels in the world use white cotton bedding, not only comfort and customer satisfaction but also the fact that they will last for many years even with the amount of heavy use they endure.

Egyptian Cotton Sheets

What makes Egyptian cotton so unique, much is said about cotton sheets but what sets apart the very good from the really average? Egyptian cotton is brand name in its own right, with a reputation that is truly global. Having the label on your bedding gives you certain assurances of quality, craftsmanship and overall comfort. For hundreds of years cotton has cultivated, grown and then used in clothing and bedding, premium quality was once the preserve of wealthy clientele but as more and more of the world’s population got richer in their own rights the luxury bed linen market became more and more accessible and affordable

To become a major brand of bedding what does Egyptian cotton have to offer that you just cannot get in other fabrics, you do not get such a reputation by chance. Cotton is a truly organic product, grown naturally without chemicals and pesticides the resulting cotton crop is soft and fluffy. Cotton grown in Egypt is handpicked and cleaned using age old techniques that have been handed down through the ages, from farmer to farmer and so on. This time consuming and less invasive harvesting method helps keep the cotton from being overly refined resulting in a high grade of absorbent cotton. The ability of the fabric to absorb moisture is one the key advantages, this helps the cotton to become softer overtime, washing the fabric does not impair in abilities but only enhances it.

Egyptian Cotton Bedding

Egyptian Cotton Sheets

There is nothing finer in the world than slipping in to clean, crisp cotton sheets, sleeping is one the things we take for granted and it consumes over a third of our lives. It is very important that we achieve a good 6-8 hours of sleep every night or our health and happiness could deteriorate over time. A lot is said about long staple fibre yarns and single ply fabrics and more importantly thread count.

A high fabric pick or count can take care of the other two points as the cotton has to be manufactured from long staple yarns as they would just break under the extreme weaving processes that modern bedding has to endure. Two ply technologies are mainly incorporated to enhance the yarns strength and robustness, any fabric over 600 thread count will have a form of twisting involved in the yarns.

So what is thread all about and what should I choose to achieve the best results, we have included below a few key indicator you can go by. This method will not give you the whole story when it comes to choosing you new luxury Egyptian cotton sheets but thread count does mean you can expect quality and value for money. ‘Thread count’ or ‘pick’ is the number of threads in each square inch and generally speaking, the higher the thread count, the more luxurious, dense and soft the material will feel.

Luxury Cotton Sheets

Luxury Cotton Bedding

A Percale fabric is generally the minimum threads per square inch any good manufacturer will use in their premium bedding ranges, it is often a matt fabric and does not have the same luxurious sateen sheen that you will find in the higher counts. This is ideal for guest houses, smaller hotels and obviously the spare bedroom or guest room. Still very soft and sensuous this is great way of testing the water so to speak. This has a 200 thread count or 200 threads per square inch.

Stepping up from the basic percale range you will certainly want to try this for yourself, 400 Thread Count is definitely softer and a more substantial Egyptian cotton percale bed linen than the 200 count, if you like being pampered every night choose for this quality for its cool feel and durability, this designer cotton bedding range is what you expect to find on the beds of major hotel chains worldwide.

Now we are getting somewhere, this is where we introduce you to some of the best fabrics you will find in the world. 600 thread count or 600 threads per square inch use the latest air jet technology to produce a wonderful creation that is straight out of a fairy tale. Premium levels of comfort and softness, this is one of those bedding fabrics that you will definitely want to stay in bed for.

1000 to 1200 Thread Count, now we have certainly arrived at royalty levels of opulence and sophistication. There is nowhere to go from here except to the bedroom to try out your latest investment. Health and sleep is very important and you have certainly proved this when you sleep in such luxury. Egyptian cotton does not come much better than this, soft, silky, strong and extremely durable this bedding will last a lifetime.

Egyptian Cotton Sheets – what are the main differences?

Everybody is different and the way we buy our Egyptian cotton sheets is just as complex. Some prefer plain matt colours and some of us like sateen finishes which shimmer in the different light conditions. One thing we can all agree on is that the quality should speak for itself, soft, comfortable and good value for money is paramount.

Our 200 thread count bedding is made of a matt cotton yarn, they are very soft and feel cool and crisp to the touch. Made entirely in Egypt from long staple fibres, they are a great way of dipping your toe in water if you have not tried cotton sheets before. They are not as luxurious as our best selling ranges of 400 Count Egyptian cotton, a premium quality which is great value and offers a sumptuous sateen finish that adds that all important touch of elegance and opulence. When we get to the 600 and 1000 thread counts the quality is right up there with the finest bedding in the world, the fabric is packed with a supersoft silky cotton weave that is very strong and feels like nothing you have slept on before. Good quality bedding from Egypt is a sound investment, they last much longer that other qualities of cotton so it does warrant the extra cost involved in purchasing it in the first place.

Egyptian Cotton Sheets

Egyptian Cotton Sheets

Not all cotton is the same, the lush crop cultivated in the upper reaches of the Nile produce a bumper crop that has oversized buds which can then be turned in extra long fibres which are essential in producing the best bed linen. The vast majority of cotton sold in the UK consists of white and ivory, this was mainly due to the hotel trade as crisp, clean white sheets was an important statement for their loyal customer base. Our Egyptian Cotton Percale ranges are based on some of the finest hotel bedding collections, they are manufactured to high specifications and are adorned with subtle embroideries and oxford edging to add to the appeal.
