When buying bedding, you have a wide range of materials to choose from. But few raw materials have proven as suitable for sleep as pure cotton. Cotton bedding has been the top choice for many households for decades – and for good reason. In this article, you will discover the qualities that make cotton so special and the biberna qualities built upon it.
Why cotton bedding is so popular
Cotton is a natural fibre that absorbs and releases moisture effectively. This creates a balanced sleeping climate, whether in summer or winter. Cotton is also gentle on the skin, easy to care for and can be washed at high temperatures – an important advantage for allergy sufferers and anyone who values hygiene in bed. Pure cotton also feels pleasantly soft and becomes cozier with every wash.
Variety instead of one-size-fits-all: biberna cotton qualities
Almost every biberna collection features pure cotton – but in completely different finishes, each with its own advantages:
Flannel: Our core product since 1968. With around 160 g/m² and an exceptionally fluffy texture, Flannel bedding is super cozy and warm, making it ideal for cool nights. Find out more in our Flannel collection.
Mako satin: Here, the finest combed cotton is used and woven in the shiny 4/1 sateen weave. The result is a cool, smooth feel that gently hugs the body without looking "slick" like ordinary satin. Discover the Mako satin collection – our article Mako satin explained provides more background information.
Renforcé: the cotton all-rounder for everyday use
If you are looking for an uncomplicated, year-round cotton quality, Renforcé is the perfect choice. This densely woven cotton fabric is durable, easy to care for and pleasantly gentle on the skin – a true everyday classic. Find out more in the Renforcé collection and the article Renforcé: the easy-care all-rounder.
Cotton vs. other materials
Compared with synthetic fibres such as microfibre, pure cotton scores particularly well in breathability and moisture absorption. Cotton also has clear advantages compared with modern fibres such as TENCEL: it is particularly durable, easy to care for at high temperatures and usually cheaper to buy. If you would like to compare the two fibres, you will find details in our article TENCEL vs. cotton.
Original quality directly from the manufacturer
Another advantage of buying cotton bedding from biberna: you are buying directly from the manufacturer – a family business with its own weaving mill in Hamminkeln since 1932. This high level of vertical integration ensures consistently high quality and makes it possible to offer you original quality directly at a historically attractive price-performance ratio, without going through traditional retail intermediaries.

Frequently asked questions
Is pure cotton suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes. Cotton can be washed at high temperatures, which helps combat dust mites and allergens and makes it a skin-friendly choice.
How do Flannel and Mako satin differ?
Flannel is fluffy, warm and heavier (approx. 160 g/m²), making it ideal for cold nights. Mako satin is smooth, shiny and pleasantly cool – making it more suitable for year-round use.
How often should I wash cotton bedding?
We recommend washing bedding every one to two weeks at at least 60 °C to maintain hygiene and freshness.
