Why You Cannot Simply Buy «In Store»
Typical bedding sets do not suit yachts for three reasons:
| Factor | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sizes | Standard King/Queen do not match V-berths | Individual measurements from the shipyard |
| Materials | Regular cotton quickly deteriorates with salt water | Egyptian cotton, percale, OEKO-TEX certified |
| Fastening | Pillows slip on inclined surfaces | Manual fixation, hidden zippers |
Practical conclusion: Order only custom manufacturing according to your vessel's templates.
Materials: Comparative Table
| Material | Durability | Drying Time | Price (Queen-size equivalent) | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Egyptian Cotton | ★★★★★ | Average | €3,000–€7,000 | ✅ Optimal |
| Satin | ★★★★★ | Average | €4,000–€9,000 | ✅ Premium |
| Linen | ★★★★ | Quick | €2,500–€5,500 | ✅ Tropics |
| Percale | ★★★★★ | Quick | €2,800–€6,000 | ✅ Most Practical |
| Silk | ★★ | Slow | €5,000–€12,000 | ⚠️ Villas Only |
Important: For tropical climates choose linen or percale. For Mediterranean conditions — Egyptian cotton.
