Why are the fabrics used by Oak & Sand different from others?

Most brands have the same offerings in Bamboo and TENCEL™ . They are good in their own way. However, at Oak & Sand, we are fabric crafters. So our main focus isn't on the selling, but to craft better sheets instead, because we believe a better product will sell itself naturally, thus the multitude of fabrics. We do, however, offer our own take on one of them, the TENCEL™ Lyocell, crafted in our specifications and with our own bedsheet features.

Your TENCEL™ X Naia™ contains a blend, is it inferior to other 100% sheets?

The TENCEL X Naia contains a harmonious blend of TENCEL™ fibers from Lenzing and Naia™ fibers from Eastman. The development of this fabric stems from the fact that the regular 100% material composition sheets are harder to maintain and the "feel" changes over time. For some households that is just a pain.The strategic addition of Naia™ fibers here makes the fabric slightly more crisp without compromising the soft and silkiness of the TENCEL™ fibers, thus, adding more durability without sacrificing comfort that the 100% TENCEL™ provides.Also, with different dye absorbency, the result is a cozy linen looking design that brings warmth to a comfy bed.

You say your fabrics are unique, but i saw one of your fabrics being sold in other shops?

Yes, we are aware of such cases, but there is nothing much we could do if others choose to copy from us, be it fabrics, design features, colors, images or even slogans.We'll however, take these as a compliment that we're doing things right. We also take pride in the originality of our work and we're proud of it.To be clear, the TENCEL Lyocell is a classic fabric that is widely available. Please do not think that others had copied from us because we are not the creators! However, we do offer our own take of this classic fabric in our specifications, features and designs.

You're the only brand that engineers your own fabric? I've recently seen others claim the same too.

Unfortunately, we cannot speak for others, only for ourselves. Our advise is to simply take a look at the fabric types offered and product features, you'll then be able to determine if they're just the same as everyone else. We do see brands making their own too! But also a fair share that simply resell factory default products by plastering their name on it.

Why do you offer so many fabrics, what is the best fabric?

We recommend speaking to our team to find out what fits your usage the best. Every household has different practices, so we take these in mind when recommending the correct fabrics to you.For example, some households don't mind air drying their sheets while others prefer sheets that can be conveniently placed in the dryer. Some users prefer a crisp and lush feeling while some prefer an ultra soft and smooth feel.

Are your sheets machine washable?

Our sheets are machine washable and easy to care for! Although they can be tumble dried, we recommend natural air-drying. This applies not just for your bedding, but for all your favourite fabric items including Tees and dresses.

What does yarn size 60s,80s or 140s mean?

Yarn size basically refers to how thick the yarn is. The higher the number, the thinner it is. It terms of which is better, it really depends on how you craft your final fabric as different specifications will affect the touch. For example, our Giza Egyptian cotton utilizes the 140s yarns, but you will have to construct the fabric it in a certain way in order for it not to break.

Does a higher price equates to a better fabric?

Only to a certain extent, price is usually determined by the rarity and yarn size of the fibers, how common the fabric is in the market, how much is the profit margin of the product and the location of retail (overheads).But the short answer is, no, because certain cheaper and more common fabrics are actually better materials. It is how you harmonize all the specifics in fabric engineering, and that is what makes it so interesting.
