Sheets

How do I choose the best sheets for my bedroom?

Consider your sleep temperature and preferred texture. Hot sleepers benefit from breathable cotton percale or linen, while those who prefer smoothness will love sateen weaves or bamboo fabrics.

What is the difference between percale and sateen sheets?

Percale uses a one-over-one-under weave, creating crisp, cool sheets with a matte finish that is ideal for warm sleepers. Sateen employs a four-over-one-under weave, producing smooth, lustrous sheets that feel silky and drape beautifully but are slightly warmer.

Are Egyptian cotton sheets worth the investment?

Egyptian cotton features extra-long fibres creating exceptionally smooth, durable and soft sheets that improve with washing. They resist pilling, maintain colour vibrancy, and last significantly longer than standard cotton, making them worthwhile for those prioritising quality sleep and longevity.

What sheet colours and patterns does Myer offer?

Myer stocks an extensive range spanning classic white and neutrals for timeless elegance, bold jewel tones for dramatic impact, soft pastels for serene spaces, and on-trend seasonal colours. Patterns include modern geometrics, botanical prints, classic stripes, and solid colours.

How do I prevent my fitted sheets from slipping off?

Ensure your fitted sheet's pocket depth accommodates your mattress height, including toppers. Look for sheets with elastic running fully around the perimeter, otherwise you can use sheet clips or suspenders to secure problematic sheets. Proper sizing and quality elastic construction prevent overnight sheet migration.

What are bamboo sheets and are they comfortable?

Bamboo sheets are made from bamboo-derived viscose or rayon fibres, creating exceptionally soft, silky-smooth sheets. They're highly breathable, moisture-wicking, naturally antimicrobial, hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. Many sleepers find bamboo's temperature-regulating properties worth the investment.

Can I mix and match sheet sets from different collections?

Absolutely. Mixing sheets allows creative expression and practical flexibility. Coordinate fitted and flat sheets in complementary colours, or pair neutral basics with patterned pillowcases. Ensure fabrics have similar care requirements to keep your washing routine simple.

How many sheet sets should I own?

Most households benefit from owning two to three sheet sets per bed. This allows one set on the bed, one in the wash, and one ready for use. Multiple sets reduce wear by distributing usage, extending each set's lifespan.

Can I purchase sheets in-store to feel the fabric quality?

Yes. Many Myer stores display bedding where you can touch and examine sheet quality firsthand. Feeling fabric texture, weight and weave helps you make informed decisions. Use "Find in Store" to identify locations with bedding departments for hands-on assessment.

What is Myer's return policy for bedroom sheets?

Myer offers 30-day free returns for most items, provided they remain unused, unwashed, and in original packaging with tags attached. For hygiene reasons, bedding must be returned unopened. Returns are accepted in-store or via post for convenience.
