Kiwi owned, local shipping. The Hotel Sheet uses genuine commercial cotton cloth. Open, light, breathable and that crisp hotel feel. Stop trapping heat and have your best sleeps.

ODDS+SODS: The Hotel Sheet

• Open-box sets and single sheets from our main range, at a lower price
• The same 250TC cotton percale, woven in Portugal
• What's listed is what's left, so sizes come and go
• Free SleepLayers™ temperature guide, emailed with every order

What are odds and sods?

• These are sets and single items we've opened for photography, or to inspect them
• They have never been used and never been washed. They are new items that have been handled
• Which is why they're 15% off the price of the same item in the main range
• Each listing is one-off stock, so a size that's here today may not be here next week
• Our 60-night trial does not apply to odds and sods. Please choose your size carefully before you order

Also available as:

• Full Sets, a fitted sheet, top sheet and pillowcases together
• Flat Sets, two large flat sheets instead of a fitted, so you can rotate them like a hotel
• Split Sets, for split and lifestyle beds with two single mattresses
• Fitted Sheets on their own
• Top Sheets on their own
• Pillowcases, in Standard, King, Lodge and Euro
• Duvet Covers, the same cloth as the sheets

Looking for the right fit?

• Modern mattresses vary in height, measure yours to avoid disappointment
• Then note the height and size in your phone, it makes buying sheets much easier
• Odds and sods can be a full set, a fitted sheet, a top sheet or pillowcases, so check the size in the listing against the full range below

Our most popular sheet

• The Hotel Sheet is the one that started it all and is our most popular cool and crisp sheet
• Thousands of happy customers
• Genuine European cotton hotel cloth, not a hotel-style imitation
• Direct from the hospitality arm of a leading bed and bath textile mill in Europe
• Used in hotels throughout Europe
• Cool and crisp, light n' airy
• We've sold direct since 2010, so you won't find us in shops. Beware of imitations

What should I expect?

• Cool and crisp, light n' airy
• Durable for weight (light = cool)
• 100% natural fibres

What shouldn't I expect?

• They're not heavy, thick, warm, silky or soft (thick = warm)
• They're not quick to pill, the way many high thread count sheets are

What do they feel like? That classic, crisp hotel feel

• Ever wondered why hotel sheets feel so crisp?
• Most of it is the recipe itself: a low thread count in a percale weave
• In our experience the last 10% comes from the roller dryer commercial laundries use, which dries and presses in one go

Doing the hot/cold dance all night?

• "It's not just you. The wrong bedding makes it worse. After years of testing, these were the first sheets to let me sleep through." - Christina Guy, founder
• If like me you're a "young lady of a certain age" (LOL), or you sleep with a foot hanging out, you'll know it
• If you're perimenopausal, the temperature range your body finds comfortable for sleep narrows to almost nothing
• Half a degree from a duvet, or from the person beside you, is enough to wake you
• Then you're lying there at 3am doing sums about how many hours are left
• Sleep hot generally? Most men do. Different heat, same fix

Want better sleep? Stop trapping heat

• Most sheets trap heat, either because of a tight weave (sateen), the thickness of the sheets (thicker = hotter) or human-made fibres masquerading as natural fibres (bamboo, eucalyptus, lyocell, Tencel™ and other 'plant-based' sheets which are all different forms of rayon)
• The Hotel Sheet is the opposite: 100% natural fibres, woven in an open weave that helps release heat instead of trapping it

How did we discover this sheet recipe? 16 years of sleep-testing

• In our experience, most retailers don't sleep-test their bedding
• We've tested this recipe against Tencel™, bamboo, Naia™, poly/cotton, linen, and cotton from 150TC to 1000TC (bamboo/eucalyptus/lyocell/Tencel™ are all just rayon BTW)
• Sleep-tested in a temperature-controlled bedroom
• Nothing's a miracle cure, but our cotton recipe trapped the least heat of anything we tested, alongside our Egyptian sheet

What makes our hotel cloth trap less heat?

• The weave: open percale, so heat moves through it
• The weight: light, because thick traps heat
• The fibre: 100% natural
• The layers: your free SleepLayers™ guide, emailed with your order
• Stop trapping heat and have your best sleeps

Want more life? Rest and rotate

• Sheets do better with two or three days' rest after washing. This applies to all natural fibre textiles, not just sheets, and not just ours
• Each to their own but if you want any sheet to last longer, you have to rest them between washes
• Straight back on the bed weakens the fibres and shortens their life
• Which is why two thirds of our customers go one week on, one week off
