Bedding and home textiles are bought on fabric content, size standards and labelling, and the specification on paper often differs from what ships. Buyers should check sizes against the target market and test fibre claims before committing to volume.

The fabric tells you most of what you need. Cotton, polycotton, linen, microfibre, bamboo-derived viscose and wool all behave differently in wash, feel and price. Thread count is often used as a selling point but is easy to inflate, and a higher number does not always mean a better sheet, since yarn quality and weave matter more. Ask for the fibre content, weave type and fabric weight, and request a sample you can wash several times to check shrinkage, colour bleed and pilling.
For filled products such as duvets, pillows and mattress toppers, the filling matters as much as the cover. Down and feather products should state the proportion and origin and come with proof of sourcing. Synthetic fillings should state weight and how well they hold loft after washing.
Bed sizes are not standard internationally. A double, queen or king in one market is a different measurement elsewhere, and fitted sheet depth also varies. Confirm dimensions in centimetres against what your customers' mattresses actually measure. Many returns in this category are simply wrong-size purchases, so make sizes clear in your listings.
Textile labelling laws require fibre content to be stated in many markets, and some require care symbols and country of origin too. Rules vary, so check the requirements for your market. Flammability rules apply to some products, particularly children's bedding and sleepwear, and filled items may fall under bedding-specific filling and cleanliness rules. For certifications such as OEKO-TEX or organic cotton claims, ask for the certificate number and check it matches the supplier and the product, since false claims are a known problem.
Textiles are light but bulky, and pressed or vacuum-packed goods ship more cheaply. Ask how items are packed, because vacuum packing suits some fillings but can damage others over time. Pack sizes usually run in sets, such as a duvet cover with pillowcases, or in bulk packs of single items like towels. Confirm what a set includes and whether you can mix colours in a carton.
There are two main seasons. Heavier duvets, flannel and throws sell into autumn and winter, while lighter cotton, linen and cooling fabrics sell in the warm months. Towels sell steadily and spike with seasonal tourism and moving periods. Margins depend on how plain the product is. Commodity white towels and sheets are easy to compare on price, while patterned and designer-style sets give more room. Colour dyeing lots can differ slightly between runs, so buy reorders from the same lot where you can.
What to ask a supplier
Not always. Thread count can be inflated by using multi-ply yarns, so fibre quality and weave matter more. Ask for a sample and judge feel and wash performance.
Bed and mattress sizes are not the same across markets, and fitted sheet depth varies. List exact measurements in centimetres and confirm them with the supplier before ordering.
Ask for the certificate and its number, and confirm it covers the supplier and the specific product. Certificates for the mill alone do not always cover the finished item.
Yes, dye lots can differ slightly. Ask whether the supplier can match the earlier lot, and where colour consistency matters, order enough in one go.
