Why Cotton Bedsheets? A Must-Have for Every Bed

We spend nearly one-third of our lives in bed — and if there’s one fabric that knows how to comfort, breathe, and wrap you in softness night after night, it’s cotton. At Mishmash, all our bedsheets are made from high-quality, breathable cotton, and designed to make every sleep feel like home. If you're searching for the softest bed sheets, here’s why cotton is always the right choice:

1. Breathable Comfort — All Year Round

Cotton is a natural fibre that allows air to circulate, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Unlike synthetic fabrics that trap heat and sweat, pure cotton bed sheets let your skin breathe — which means fewer toss-and-turn nights and more uninterrupted dreams.

Perfect for double beds and versatile enough for every season, cotton bedsheets keeps your sleep space feeling fresh, breathable, and endlessly comfortable.

2. Gentle on Skin — Even the Most Sensitive

If you’ve ever woken up feeling itchy or uncomfortable, your bedsheets might be to blame. Cotton bedsheets are hypoallergenic and soft on the skin — especially important if you have allergies, eczema, or sensitive skin.

And when it’s a cotton double bedsheet from Mishmash? Even better — we use natural dyes to keep your bedding kind to your body and better for your sleep.

3. Easy to Wash, Easier to Love

Cotton is famously low-maintenance.

  • Machine and hand washable

  • Quick to dry

  • Gets softer with every wash

So your cotton double bedsheet will not only age gracefully — it’ll feel better wash after wash. Our customers love that our soft bedsheets don’t just look beautiful, they live beautifully too.

4. Sustainable by Nature

Cotton is a renewable, biodegradable fibre. When you choose natural cotton bedsheets over synthetic blends, you're choosing less plastic, less landfill waste, and a gentler footprint on the planet. Our pure cotton bed sheets are made using artisanal processes — including hand block printing — that reduce energy use and support traditional crafts.

5. The Perfect Canvas for Craft

There’s a reason artisans have used cotton bedsheets for centuries — it holds colour beautifully and feels good while doing it. Our signature prints come to life on cotton bedsheets — the texture, the absorbency, and the hand-feel of the fabric make it the ideal base for every swirl, stripe, or motif. So when you see a Mishmash cotton double bedsheet, you’re seeing not just cotton — but culture, craft, and care.

Whether you’re a maximalist in love with bold block prints or someone who prefers subtle stripes in soft tones — cotton lets you live (and sleep) naturally. At Mishmash, our cotton bedsheets do more than cover your mattress. They tell stories of tradition, softness, sustainability, and style.
