Piqué Bedding: Bold Texture with Character

Piqué bedding is a secret tip for anyone who appreciates a little more texture in bed. At biberna, piqué – also known as "Pk" for short – is a quality that was introduced as a trial to the collection and has since established itself as a small but special case. In this post, we explain what sets piqué bedding apart, how it feels, and who it is suitable for.

What is piqué bedding?

Piqué refers to a weave with a slightly crinkled, textured surface. It is vaguely reminiscent of seersucker, but differs in its exact structure: while seersucker provides airiness in summer with its characteristic crinkle effect, piqué feels more compact and is finished to an outstanding quality. At biberna, this quality was deliberately introduced as a trial to offer customers an alternative to established classics such as seersucker or renforcé.

How does piqué bedding feel?

To be honest, piqué bedding needs a little time to settle in at first. Straight out of the packaging, the texture initially feels somewhat firmer and more substantial – comparable to linen-dried towels, which also only reveal their full softness after the first use. After one or two nights in your own bed, this texture noticeably softens, and the bedding becomes pleasantly supple. Anyone open to this little settling-in ritual will be rewarded with a quality that stands out clearly from the crowd.

Who is piqué suitable for?

Piqué bedding is particularly interesting for people who like trying new things and do not give up after the first unfamiliar feel. If you like textured bedding but want to try something different from seersucker for once, piqué is an exciting addition to biberna's bedding range.

Quality with history: Why piqué is still a secret tip

At biberna, trying out new qualities is part of the company culture – not all of them will become bestsellers right away. Piqué is a good example of this: technically and qualitatively, the workmanship is outstanding, but the unfamiliar initial feel has so far limited its widespread sales success. The muslin bedding met with a similar fate, initially being met with skepticism internally and by customers – before later developing into a sought-after summer classic. As for piqué: currently, the quality is only available in limited quantities. If you are curious, you should not wait too long.

Original from the manufacturer

Like all biberna qualities, piqué also comes from a family business that has been at home in the textile trade since 1932. This means you receive the original quality directly from the manufacturer, without markups from intermediaries – read more about this in our post on original quality directly from the manufacturer.

The same basic rules apply to the proper care of your piqué bedding as to other high-quality cotton qualities.
