Who Makes It?
Frette 1860 is a luxury linen and home furnishings company that has been around since, well, 1860. Frette’s bed linens are in some of the world’s most prestigious hotels and, as the brand puts it, in the most “discerning private homes, yachts, and aircraft.” The Hotel Series is all about recreating the feeling of a luxury overnight in a hotel but in one’s own home. The Percale cotton sheets give the whole bed that cool and crisp feeling that the Frette calls “simple and timeless.” The sheets are part of the brand’s Classic Collection and also come with a matching bath collection.What Is Extra-Long-Staple Cotton?
The word “staple” may call to mind images of attaching papers together with an office stapler, that’s not exactly what we’re talking about when it comes to sheets. In this case, “staple” refers to the specific length of fibers in a set of sheets. Extra-long-staple cotton utilizes longer fibers (or “staples”) from the cotton plant and these longer fibers are believed to translate to a more luxurious, high-end feel compared to shorter staples. In addition to being made with extra-long-staple cotton, these sheets also feature a Percale weave. This means that the fibers are woven tightly together to create an extra smooth, crisp feel.

In order to keep these sheets performing at a top-level, please ensure the care instructions provided by Frette are followed closely. For the Hotel Classic sheet set, the instructions indicate that they be can machine washed in cold water with mild, liquid, biodegradable detergent and without added bleach or whiteners. Dry on a low setting and remove the sheets before they’re completely dry to fold and iron them. The sheets will definitely wrinkle in the dryer; I would recommend observing them closely and removing them before they’re completely dry so one can iron them sufficiently. There is an incredible amount of detailed information about caring for all of the Frette linens and other products on the company’s website. I would recommend reading it through, and following their guidelines based on the washing and drying system at one’s own house; check out their Care Guide here.Pros
